Liger Story:A Mumbai chai vendor hopes to succeed in the MMA industry. But his life changes when he finds love.

Liger Review:Puri Jagannadh’s Liger had so much hype surrounding it before release, there’s only two ways it could’ve gone. Either it would go on to become a massive hit or tank spectacularly. Seeing as how the film fails to offer anything novel, beyond Vijay Deverakonda’s new buff body, it’s not hard to guess how it fared.

The foul-mouthed, stuttering Liger (Vijay Deverakonda) is raised by a single mother named Balamani (Ramya Krishnan), who wants her son to follow in the footsteps of his father by competing in MMA, specifically jeet kune do. She sends him to Mumbai to train with a well-known trainer (Ronit Roy) in the hopes that he would take home the national title. I assume that this movie is a sports drama. Nope. Despite being urged to remain focused, Liger falls for Tanya, a social media influencer (Ananya Panday), who follows him assiduously after witnessing him engage in combat.

The sole problem? She is his adversary Sanju's sister (Vishu). So, this is the tale of a rich girl and a poor lad falling in love, am I right? Nope. Then there is Liger's boyhood hero Mark Anderson (Mike Tyson), who is introduced into the group in the most bizarre way. So, this is just dumb, commercial cinema? Yes, it is regrettably not a very nice one.

Despite the fact that Puri has never been very logical, you can't help but question why more intelligent writing wasn't used when he makes his characters so... "dumb," as Mike labels Liger in one episode. Tanya, who is the sister of a martial artist, nicknames Liger "Chinese" for fighting the way he does, refers to his kind of martial arts as "kung fu," and expresses shock when he successfully kicks her. She claims to have never witnessed her brother engage in a fight or even know the type of martial arts he performs. Balamani describes women as seductive temptresses who would wreck her son's life and advises him to avoid "deyyalu" (demons). You grimace at the way these scenarios are written.

Ironically, Liger is prompted to concentrate several times in the movie, but the writing doesn't have the same intensity. Puri is unable to bring any of the songs to a satisfying end; events merely keep occuring randomly. Both Vijay and us deserved better. Watt laga diya, as the filmmakers had promised, but not in a nice manner.
