Beast Review : NelsonDilipkumar could use this plot to turn it into a gripping thriller. Rather, he helped the crowd by apologizing to us.
Setting up a screen for a characters to get to know each other seems to be part of a Masala film that features upcome promising superstars. It has to do with the fans. But over the years it has become a kind of ritual. The director is independent and rebellious, but must develop a series of events, build anticipation, and lay the ground work for the character to emerge. Just a few minutes before the long-awaited character's arrival, the film begins to spin on every reel, giving fans all the signals they need to get ready for thunderous applause, boos and cheers to meet their favourite star.
But director NelsonDilipkumar took it all away with his latest film, The Beast, starring Tamil superstar vijay. We meet a hero without an established ritual of hero worship. He appeared on screen without any message or fanfare and smiled at the audience for a while. Just now. This statement greatly lowers the expectations of hardcore fans.
The creative solution matches the ascetic personality of veera Raghavan, played by vijay. He was so expressionless that outsiders couldn't tell that he was suffering from an injury just by looking at his face. Nelson said that Dr. I cut the figurine of Veera Raghavan is a senior Raw officer.
However, the additional damage inflicted on him during the high-profile mission took a toll on his mental health. And he took this loss personally and believed that the people had betrayed him. That's why he left RAW. Called the innocent good or bad luck of a pakistani terrorist group, Veera suddenly finds herself trapped in a stolen mall. His former colleague discovers his presence at the mall and calls for help. The government tells vira that she is her best hope. But his ascetic nature protected him from flattery.
Also, unlike characters from other films such as Die Hard, Veera does not fight terrorists or rescue all the hostages without even considering their safety. After the terrorists take over the mall, Veera and her friends travel safely to safety to find a safe hideout. Then he told his friends “Don't worry about other people's lives. The task of the goverment is to save these people. Let's save them first.”
What ?! He is a hero, and the highest sign of a hero is self-sacrifice. Correctly? Here Nelson becomes a realist and turns to a rarely discussed topic: responsibility. Vera didn't want to get involved because she didn't want any more remorse. He didn't want to decide who would live and who would die. It was too heavy a burden for one person.
But Vera's clear conscience did not allow her to sit still and kill innocent people. Hearing the girl's cry, Vera could not do anything. He knew it was time to use his skills to kill the bad guys and save the good guys. “I am a soldier. He is not a politician,” Vera once said. And time slows down as Veera leaves her hideout to face the terrorists. While Anirudh's beast mode plays in the background, Veera holds an ax in her hand, sets a fun rhythm, and gives the fans a chance to explode with Nelson's anger, who rejects them at the beginning of the film.
Nelson seems to make his own films because he usually makes films about big stars without clichés. Take, for example, actors Redin Kingsley, Sunil Reddy and Yogi Babu. This cast seems indispensable in a nelson movie, but it doesn't provide narration, it just fills the time. Nelson had these actors join the story to give them comedic relief. Sometimes it works, but this trick seems to disappear with every new movie. Also Nelson can be Nagel-Thriller-Thirller using this plot setup. Instead, he gave us unforgivable public pleasure and a solid service to Vijay's core fandom.
