It was a bit of everything—inspiring, emotional, and entertaining, although not everyone will enjoy it! If Vijay Sethupathy draws me to Tamil cinema, Joseph Vijay occupies the opposite space. I don’t mean any disrespect to his fans; I used to see his movies on opening day, at the first showing (not the very first one), but I grew weary of the same tired tricks he uses in each new film. Nevertheless, this movie isn't likely to appeal to audiences outside India, but it does well with local viewers. It’s a really solid masala film, blending action, comedy, romance, emotional moments, and musical numbers. I believe it could have been something special if it had been crafted according to international standards, but that’s not usually the case with Vijay's films. The story seemed to aim for delivering important messages to society, but the execution felt forced, relying on excessive shouting and loud noises. It lacked a connection to reality and was delivered without any subtlety; the filmmakers didn’t hesitate to present their views. While fighting crime and criminals is commendable, it was portrayed poorly—causing public disruption and damaging stalls and vehicles often belonging to people who are struggling financially. This highlights why littering is such a significant problem in India, and films like this shouldn't promote that kind of behavior. I appreciated the portion of the story referencing the Delhi rape incident, but I felt it was diminished by an overemphasis on heroic actions. Many of the jokes were delivered using Tamil slang, intended for those familiar with local cinema. The English subtitles weren’t very good either. Furthermore, the film's plot follows a predictable formula: a righteous police officer versus a corrupt politician, involving revenge and flashbacks. As always, I disliked the music videos; they interrupted the flow of the story with jarringly out-of-place video albums. It felt disproportionate—if you skipped them, the movie would be about three minutes shorter, which is actually a positive thing. The casting was well done, and the film will likely be remembered for Nainika's debut as a child actress, along with Vijay’s own daughter appearing at the end. Many are hoping for a sequel where he can work alongside his daughter. If you live in India, it’s worth watching. People from southern India might especially enjoy it. However, I caution international viewers that if you're familiar with the actor and director, you probably know what to expect; otherwise, choose carefully. It’s peculiar to India how this film received a “U” rating—equivalent to PG—yet contains NC17-level violence. _6/10_
