Better luck not next time
denisfranklin30 July 2022
It's far better than Valimai movie ,just not like showing only bike scene throughout film,some storyline up to justify ,Age a purely concern for a debutant ,better this would be his last movie.

duration and songs killed the movie
navendu_krishnan28 July 2022
Legend is a below average flick, which is totally unbearable due to its duration - 3 hours and 7 songs, the songs which are totally boring killed the movie because it stole around 1 hour in the movie itself The story is clichéd as Sivaji - you can guess what is the story. It got Nasser, Prabhu and Vivek as main star cast, Vivek's Voice seems like artificially created due to his absence, Saravanan on the whole comes with the pale face with no emotion , stays the same from start to end in the movie.

If there was no songs, it would ve been atleast watchable in ott, but with 165 minutes of run time, it is a low graded flick.

Good Attempt...
pobepoj2 August 2022
Just for sake..we should not criticize...story line is bit decent with host of characters...songs aspect needs to be taken care...and our hero's should bit improvise on body skills and makeup/hairstyle...we should slightly appreciate hero's attempt...

Greatest movie of all time 🤣
the_batman090231 July 2022
If you have some unique desire to destroy your brain and leave your eyes unable to look at anything again, please go watch this movie.

This is so incredibly bad, it has redefined how bad a movie can be. To call it a movie is unfair to movies. This is just gibberish made from an endless supply of money.

Annachi Why?
starkt44230 July 2022
Annachi Why this kollaveri? Really a bad movie. It's not even worth reviewing. Being rich and able to get to waste money on these things does not make you a good actor.

sandytashu16 August 2022
Very unique talent sarvana have to made one film with same expression. Many people find themselves in hospital after watch this masterpiece. Only one thing is good for this movie is Urvashi Rautela got 20 Crores for this disaster. If you are unhappy with your life and want to do suicide then go for this.

Urvashi Rautela was better than lead actor in the movie
kumargauravkr31 July 2022
Sarvanan do not have any dancing ability. Do not talk about the acting though. Absurd storyline with a scientist very popular and busy but simultaneously can see be seen everywhere. Makeup artist did a great job in the movie. I think every movie can be witnessed atleast one time but for this movie 'Must not watch'

Best Movie Ever
randomstuffsall29 July 2022
The Legend is the best movie I have ever watched. Waiting for the Legend 2.

Punch dialogues are out of the world. Great casts.

Best entertainment movie in the Tamil industry so far. I have never watched a film with this much involvement. 3 hours went like 3 minutes. Kudos to the movie team. Keep up the good work going.

Saravanan Arul (Our Legend) will become a very big actor in Tamil movie industry.

Review from United Kingdom.

Family Entertainment with Good Message
prithiviramthirupathy30 July 2022
#legend

Usual Commerical Timepass Flick with fabulous songs, fights, message etc. Arul Saravanan Sir gave his fabulous debut. As an entertainer, he has to improve his performance well. He tried to exhibit his emotions, body language, expression, but it didn't come out fair enough. First he need to get trained in acting by having a coach. Later he wants to do his next film. Director JD - Jerry did a good Film Making. Looking grand and royal. Missed to focus in depth on story and screenplay to make even more interesting and gripping. Kept turns and twists in some places. Very great Production House. If possible, they wants to do films with leading actors and directors. Harris Jayaraj Sir's great comeback. Given lovely songs and great BGM. Full Album Hit. Staying as Main Pillar for the film. Cinematography, Lighting work, Artwork, VFX and other technical works looking extraordinary. Chosen very pleasant locations, where the visuals looked eye-catching. All Artists and Technicians have given their contribution well. Applause for everyone of them.

Above average film. Good Family Entertainment carried a good message.

Much better than many movies like Annaatthe etc. Better Film to watch on Theatres for General Family Audience. I really enjoyed watching the film.

Nightmare of Indian Cinema
syedrocks-2660828 July 2022
South India has given so many bad movies but this one has eaten it all away. Actors like Vijay Sethupathi, Vikram, Ajith Suriya, etc. Have gained a place in the minds of the people because all the new actors who are new to acting have accepted small roles to improve their acting skills and polished their acting skills little bit later they become big starts by using that skills. Almost half of Tamil cinema has been written the day that anyone can become an actor if only money is enough. They have spent money like water to make such a worst film.1 star for the people who watched this whole movies on theatre.

if you have money, you're the king
saru202020 August 2022
There was a period(2-3 yrs) in Tamil cinema at the start of the social media age nearby the 2010s when power star & dummy stars like him started popping up taking fake star kinda roles and entering the industry knowing that they were just being mocked but still they were able to make several films in a row and people thronged to theatres in gangs just to mock and enjoy it, it did work very well for groups who'd do commentary in every single scene.

Looks like the Saravana store owner has started that trend again now, he's now interested in making these kinda films despite knowing that he's only being mocked and not watched like other actors and he was also okay with it.

For this film, one of my friends took us to the theatres on the first day of its release and we were very much surprised to see the big theatre getting filled up and it was like a celebration where people were taking pics & videos and some were clapping, dancing whenever the hero comes & acts & does something foolish, it looked as if like the start of that old trend again.

The film looked so beautiful, the cinematography was just amazing, and the content was also decent in line with the movie Sivaji but the screenplay was so poor and the most irritating part was the 8-9 songs in the film since the directors are mostly into the ad film making, it looked obvious that they were comfortable in making songs only for the most part. There were several grandiose sets in the film that were used in multiple Tamil films that had come before.

This film is purely a waste of time & effort, just because a man has money he should not waste it like this, people who don't have financial literacy might do it but a successful business person doing this is just idiotic. This film is a testimonial to this proverb: "if you have money, you're the king!"

Trash movie, but I had an amazing time!! Not being sarcastic at all.
TreeFiddy537 August 2022
I remember trying to watch the (legendary) Bhoomi 3x and failed to get past the first 10 mins and naturally, I was scared to watch this one but I have to say, I thoroughly "enjoyed" it. Was it the movie? Or the fun group of people I watched it with? Or was it the presence of the Legend himself? I don't know, but this was a celebration.

We discussed plot points and intentions behind them; shrieked whenever other actors touched "Sciendis" Thambi's face (if you know, you know why); how he's secretly an air-bender; marveled at the Ujala-like whiteness of his clothes despite beating up 20 people; the two biologists in our group had a few things to say about the DNA modification research taking place in the movie; debated what hair product The Legend used; why his expressions were solid af and how can Dalmia Cements learn from him; one of the audience members rated Geetika Tiwari's performance to be praiseworthy over a veteran like Urvashi Rautela's, said audience member lied to us that he'd watched only the first 20 mins before but it's likely his 3rd viewing, he was singing along when the Laxmi Raai song came on... I can go on and on and on but long story short, this was a very engaging movie, one to be watched and celebrated along with friends.

This film will motivate you to work hard like The Legend, not because he's inspiring but because you'll learn that if you are rich, you can do whatever you want in life, even make a movie like this.

The Legend Movie Review: A Gloriously Excessive, Infinitely Entertaining Cringe Classic
shefali-5924428 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Say what you want about the final result, but you have to give it to writer-director duo JD-Jerry for the amount of conviction they've put into The Legend-a sprawling, 160-minute rocket launch for its lead star. It's the kind of mega movie that operates on one simple principle-why have one of something when you can afford 12,000 of it. This doesn't just apply to the massive sets that have been erected to recreate a mansion, a research facility, a bar in Manali, a second research facility, and a hell-hole to hold hundreds of human lab rats. This also extends to the film's two main heroines, two item-song stars, five medium-to-large villains, and an army of every comedic actor money can buy. Add to this a few thousand dress changes, a plethora of Rolls Royces, and at least four foreign locations and there's nothing you cannot find in this movie.

Saravanan is here to stay!! Absolutely amazing movie. Probably the top 10 films of all time
heisenberg-2939028 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Saravanan & JD-Jerry has proved their talents by giving us one the biggest hits of all time.

I know this is a controversial opinion, But this is objectively one of the top 10 films of all time.

I have never ever a seen a film that depicts the reality of the medical mafia in a such a realistic gritty manner. Sadly I believe there is a chance that the movie might be way ahead of its time with the allegorical screenplay & multilayered dialogs would be understood by most people. This film is as good as Taxi Driver, Godfather etc when it comes to exploring the depths of characters.

This film has a lot of subtle callbacks to classic films and it is impeccable. Let me list a few

--> Godfather Apollonia's death - and Legend has surpassed Al Pacino is depicting the gruesome shock and grief.

--> Kill Bill 1 - The o'ren ishii fight scene - Legend weaponising a towel to create an instant morning star kind of weapon was absolutely genius writing from JD-Jerry duo

--> Inception - Snowbike chase scene.

I am 200% satisfied and l am eagerly waiting for part 2.

Better wait for a week to see any another movie
mhk-0299529 July 2022
Legend is a below average flick, which is totally unbearable. Main drawback is hero. His expressionless face make movie more disgusting. Even though huge amount is invested for this but it is of no use. Even story is also predictable no such wow moments or scenes except some rich background. Music is ok but not expected this from legendary music director. Only plus point is heroines tried to save this movie.
