• Beast:

Vijay has been on a streak of mass commercial films, some of which have not been really working off-late. Much like Valimai, Beast was also a commercial success owing to Vijay’s stardom. No doubt, Vijay was enjoyable on screen. But, it was surprising to find Nelson’s script with these many illogical loopholes. A fully action-driven film, Beast had a lot of problems with logic, especially the climax. The writing was the biggest problem in the film as it only aimed at the ‘hero-ification’ of Vijay. The sexist dialogue aimed at Pooja Hegde’s character was another problematic aspect. On the whole, Beast was bearable but should have been much greater.
