The titles part is so cool. The background music is also nice, though it's probably a rip off of some oriental tunes in some places. Vijay's stammering is HIGHLY annoying, like he is trying too hard to irritate the audience. I am not against the idea of the character having stammering quality but it could have been done in an understated way. I have watched till the fight scene where he beats up all the fighters. Will make 1-2 attempts more to complete the rest of the movie. Poori is a talented director but getting involved in production has messed up his core skill. maniac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kepler37b Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Puri Jagannath completes the entire film in 3-4 months. End to End. Dude hires actors and writes story outline. He writes the screenplay and story on the sets. The quality suffers big time. He has become a troll material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of working style seems.like a recipe for disaster. What is he so busy with that he doesn't even have story and screenplay ready before commencing a project? But didn't Liger take like 3 years to complete? Edited September 24, 2022 by nevada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in hindsight first half looks like a masterpiece. i do agree the martial arts scenes were well choreographed. I couldn’t understand a single song. At one point I thought my language settings defaulted to some other language when listening to them. They were also unbearable. Also Ananya Pandey has 0 redeeming qualities. She isn’t that strikingly pretty either. Yes she is well a groomed rich kid that’s about it and has absolutely no talent. I think the stammer they were trying to equate Tyson’s lisp and other speech impediments he had due to which he was bullied as a kid but unless you are a hardcore Tyson fan those kind of trivia will be lost to your general public and neither did they expand on that.

He has become a troll material. directors and technicians working in Telugu industry are mostly technically very adept. I would say probably best in India. Technique wise they are excellent but most of them from what I observed have stories of running away from home to become a film actor after failing 10th etc, so while they pick up technique, their outlook and what they consider great cinema and story is not that evolved. Not sure what Puri’s background is but I would assume he has got one of those stories based on the kind of movies he makes. As I said technique wise he is very good. nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on Hotstar, which I subscribed to for cricket mainly. Given how atrocious our team has been, I thought this movie can't be any worse.

Don't know how, but I finished off the rest of the movie today. The good thing is it is only 2 hr 10 min. Indeed, it went totally off the rails in the second half. Ananya is good for ads and maybe TV shows but surely isn't heroine material. Overall, a half baked, fully derailed movie that failed to do anything notable despite all the hype. Vijay must have worked hard to train for fighter role but such stories are way past their sell by date now. Even 1983, a real story, didn't have many takers. maniac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
