9/10
Was not a Vijay fan but become one after this film.

Before this I had watched Vijay's only one movie that is Master which was fine and director Nelson's Doctor which I absolutely loved. But Master didn't really make me appreciate his acting or screen presence or anything (maybe cuz I watched it in Hindi). But I watched this Beast movie in Tamil and found myself in complete awe of his screen presence. Even his dialogue delivery packs quite a punch.

The action scenes though few in number definitely are very creative and intense. Absolutely loved the creativity in choreographing the action scenes. Something unique and high octane for sure. Vijay looks absolutely suave while performing those action scenes.

Also humour is present throughout the film and every pun gave me a good laugh. The characters are your typical Nelson characters and honestly loved the humour in this film. Which means that the film doesn't take its plot quite seriously so don't find plot holes and take them seriously. This film is clearly just meant for entertainment. Plot holes like CCTV footage and all will take the fun out of the film. I realised the tone of this film in the start only and watched it accordingly which is why I absolutely enjoyed it. The screenplay was good and I don't remember being bored or finding any scene dragged at all. Also the female lead Pooja is looking beautiful as ever. She's gotten sufficient screen time and you'll see her throughout the movie.

The music in this film is amazing. Completely enjoy led the two songs in this film, one in the first half hour and then one at the end. The movie ends on a really high note because of that last plane action scene and then this song.

Now let's try to understand why this film has gotten so much hate. Honestly this level of hate is not justified. And I mainly see it coming from rival actor's fans and north audience. My understanding is that the Hindi dubbing has brought this film down. After all when you dub it you are not able to capture the essence of the film. I don't know though because I watched it in the original language and can confidently say it's a good film. Nearly the level of Doctor. An easy 9/10 from me. This is the most misunderstood film.
