ETimes review praises Vijay’s performance
Reviewing the film, ETimes wrote, “We get episodes that are meant as calls to real-life issues: tragedies, the Tuticorin shooting, political corruption, religious conflict, environmental exploitation by greedy capitalists, gun culture, etc. And the execution only makes it worse. By the time we reach the climax, we’re in an exaggerated realm of remote-controlled wars and social media-amplified hate campaigns that are happening overnight in a way that’s hard to believe.“But Vijay pulls it all off. The earnestness in his performance and the politically charged lines (“50 varushama arasiyal pannitirukara kudumbam”, “Motha Tamizhachigaloda aaseervaadhamum ennikum unga kooda irukkum”) keep us interested. And Anirudh does his part by adding a cinematic punch to the Tamil scene. great entertainers, Jana Nayagan deserved better“DISCLAIMER: Box office numbers and data in this article are collected from public and industry sources.
