Beast Movie Synopsis: Former RAW officers held hostage in a terrorist hijacked shopping street fail their plans and  the government releases terrorists he may have imprisoned at great personal expense. Must be stopped. Beast Movie Review: In his previous film, Koramaab Kokira and Dr. Nelson breathed humor into situations that might not have been interesting on paper. Also, in Beast,  he takes  serious situations, hostage situations and tries to make them interesting. But this time he is far from successful. In fact, this movie brings out little of the laughter it should have been, and always makes us laugh when it comes to becoming a Macello movie.  The movie starts promising. Get a prologue that includes Veera Raghavan (Vijay), a senior RAW officer who was mentally injured after a mission to capture the most desired terrorist mastermind (Lillipat Falki). He leaves the organization and tries to get rid of his demons, but then the mall where he is  with his girlfriend Preethi (Pooja Hegde, whose main function is  eye candy) is taken over by terrorists. Government negotiator Altaf Hussein (Selvaraghavan on the cheek tongue making his acting debut) managed to convince Vera to take on the rescue mission, but can he succeed?  The problem with Beast is that there is a hero who is too strong for a mission that never seems challenging. The terrorists hardly seem dangerous (they barely kill anyone, even when trying to put fear in the hearts of the hostages), and the mission hardly comes across as something of a daunting task for a daredevil like Veera. None of the hijackers have any personality, including their leader Saif (Ankur Ajit Vikal). "Innum konjam tough kuduthurukalam," Veera tells Saif towards the end of the film, and it only highlights how weak the antagonist in the film is.  As in Doctor, Nelson gives his protagonist a bunch of oddballs with whom he needs to team up to take down the terrorists, but unlike in that film, the characters here hardly get enough screen time or motivation to be memorable. Only VTV Ganesh manages to generate a few laughs while the shtick involving Yogi Babu and Redin Kingsley gets tiresome after a while. Even the clumsy gang duo of the previous work, Mahari and Kiri, do not leave an impression this time.  In  contrast to the doctors who saw such characters working together as a team in combat scenes (such as memorable scenes in the metro), here Vijay is the other one that exists primarily to make jokes. I'm doing everything with people. Women in particular are completely left behind. Curiously, Nelson gives more screen time to some of the characters that are frustrating Core-the old lady (Subbalakshmi) in the hostages of the mall and the union minister with personal motives.
