His early films, Koramaab Kokira and Dr. Nelson, created a situation that would not have been so 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 succeeded.The problem with Beast is that there is a hero who is too strong for a mission that never seems challenging. Terrorists look little dangerous (though they try to scare hostages, they rarely kill anyone), and missions don't seem like a daunting task for Daredevil like Veera. Kidnappers, including the leader Saif (Ankur Ajit Vikal), have no personality. "Innumkonjam tough kuduthurukalam," Veera tells Saif towards the end of the movie, just emphasizing how weak the adversary is in the movie. Like Dr.
, Nelson gives the protagonist a lot of weirdos to team up to defeat terrorists, but unlike the movie, the characters have enough screen time and motivation to be remembered here. You rarely get it. Only VTV Ganesh manages to laugh, but the disgust between Yogi Babu and Redin Kingsley gets tired after a while. Even the clumsy gang duo of the previous work, Mahari and Kiri, do not leave an impression this time. Vijay is doing something with other characters here, in stark contrast to the doctor who saw such characters working together as a team in
battle scenes (such as memorable scenes in the metro). .. It mainly consists of providing jokes. Women in particular are completely left behind. Curiously, Nelson gives more screen time to some characters that are frustrating Core-a personal old lady (Subbalakshmi) in the hostages of Mole and part of a rescue operation. The union minister (Shaji) who has a strong motive.
Aniluda tries to punch the scene with his score, but by the time we reach the end, even if that doesn't work, it ends up with a slimmer, never-meaningful, or stronger sentence. Nelson now seems to have relied entirely on his star to carry the movie, but in scripts he rarely works on, even Vijay's star power is limited.
