Nothing in the film is good, but I've given three stars, only for the idea it represents, say 'no' to herd mentality and 'yes' to farming.The films begin with the CBCID department of India appointing powerful officer Ashok (Krishna) to nab a hardcore notorious terrorist, Sultan (Nandamuri Balakrishna), who always hides his real identity in various forms of disguise. BGM is over-dramatic and over the top at times. The color tone, set to the film, seems periodical, but unfortunately, the film takes place in 2016! There's no morning or evening in the film, only plain yellow. The dialogues are better at some points and worse at the others. They've tried a little KGF here and there and what has been a result of it, is nothing but an unlimited dose of cringe. The director tries hard to not focus on her face while she speaks. Rashmika struggles to speak Tamil and her dubbing artist isn't of much help. I'm not against commercial films, for instance, Singam (Tamil) series, on the whole, is way better than this sh#t film. Children walking across violent scenarios crying their eyes out, women getting beaten up, stalked and forced to accept love, hero beating the sh#t out of a hundred stuntsmen, don't care about them, I think Tamil cinema will never get tired of producing such garbage films.
Go watch it in your near theaters.ĭisney+Hotstar. Lost chance but for Karthi fans definitely it's a mass entertainer.

The movie is as such, got good potential but doesn't make any sense why he is there at times. Ending is, Just Ok, because you expect what's going to happen! There is a bodyguard in the movie who got an amazing height and build. Its got a good overall performance in acting but story in second half is really hurts the movie. Even actress didn't had good character arc other than stiff image all the time and at the end sorting it out. And there is less of an empathy built for those 100 gangs he is standing up for at the beginning. Villains against the hero you basically don't have much characterization rather than just menacing aggressive image. That is like making criminals scapegoat to one's own fantasy and needs, while doing caring for them. The second half is more for the hero's antics to impress heroine and how he can save his gang. And second part more feels childish or probably trying to bring the comic element but failing to do so. They actually dragged the first half putting pointless scenarios which was disconnected.
That's the biggest draw back I felt or else it could have been 7 to 8 rating movie. The issue is though both themes takes two parts of the movie and it doesn't go parallel to help the story as a whole to have a sense of relation. The numerous song & dance routines, the bland fight choreography, the terrible body-shaming humour (Yogi Babu is at the receiving end of it again!), and a weirdly sketched romance between Sulthan and Rukmani (a not-so-effective Rashmika) are bummers. The antagonists are so poorly written (and performed), making it a tad too obvious that they aren't legit threats to Sulthan. The emotional turn in the climax can be predicted from a mile away. Apart from this aspect, Sulthan just gets too loud, soapy, (needlessly) violent, and ultimately generic. But is it wrong to expect at least decent craft and racy storytelling from these films? Sulthan is a masala flick that does one thing right: it gives more than sufficient screen-time to Sulthan's goons (whom he considers family), even giving one or two (like Lal's character) some layering. Tropes like farmer issues, corporate honchos, one-against-many set pieces, and intro songs add nothing new from an artistic standpoint. There's only so much you can tweak the Tamil mass masala template before it gets stale.
