Everybody gangsta until Rajinikanth graciously walks in through a dense fog holding a freaking machete in his hands; even at the age of 72, this man seems to carry swagger like no one else.
When it solely comes to asserting sheer dominance on screen, very few come close, let alone matching up to him! I absolutely adored him here.
Now, as far as the movie is concerned, I have mixed feelings, mainly because the two halves seemed like two different films merged into one.
The first half is remarkable; I loved how it built up slowly but gradually picked up the pace and offered an astounding interval block. However, the second half fails to sustain the momentum and struggles to keep the intensity up; as a result, most of the film's second half comes across as sloppy and cluttered.
I did cherish the climactic portion, though. The pure display of unadulterated charm and swagger from all three veterans was a sight to behold!
