An Entertaining Package!

A screenplay based action flick, some bumps in the second half. Yet an engaging watch filled with many commercially charged theatre moments.(more)

Good, not great-est!

GOAT deserved better music; Yuvan Shankar Raja scores well in action and elevation sequences, but songs, including the special number with Trisha, are a big let down. Cinematography, too, is just about average as VFX has taken over in most of the outdoor locations. Endless fan moments, all mass and...(more)

Venkat Prabhu film wonderfully champions Vijay, but misses on other fronts

There is no doubt that GOAT is indeed a celebration of all things Vijay. His dancing, action sequences, comic timing, vulnerability, romantic charm, and effortless superstardom are all stuff of dreams. A dream that is slowly moving away from the audience. Probably why Venkat Prabhu does things that ...(more)

Vijay Carries The Film On His Shoulders

The film is at times a touch exhausting because it is overlong. However, the action sequences and plot twists are judiciously spaced out over a three-hour runtime. So, none of them is unduly out of place. Wish one could say the same about the songs (composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja). They not only slo...(more)

Vijay, Venkat Prabhu's 'GOAT' chooses theatrical fan service over a compelling story

GOAT might let you down if you�re expecting a globe-trotting espionage thriller, or just a genre-specific entertainer along the lines of Venkat�s Maanaadu. But if you want to catch the celebration of one of our most popular stars doing everything we love in his penultimate outing � including transfo...(more)

Thalapathy Vijay's sexist film is a complete mindless entertainer

Thalapathy Vijay plays a double role, both father and son. One is a completely clean character, but the other one is deeply dark with a strong backstory which gives the reason as to why he is the way he is. Going back to the story Gandhi (Vijay), along with Sunil (Prashanth), Kalyan (Prabhudheva) an...(more)

Goat Review

Venkat Prabhu had a golden opportunity to solidify Thalapathy Vijay's status as *The GOAT* on screen, but despite Vijay's stellar performance, he squandered it with a lackluster story and a senseless, disjointed screenplay. Even with potential script tweaks, the outcome would likely have remained un...(more)

Vijay plays a dark role in jaded plot, Dhoni moments electrifying

Director Venkat Prabhu takes a lot of cinematic liberties to deliver a mass masala movie loaded with human emotions and few flip flops too. Probably, he didn�t want to irk fans of other stars and tactfully superimposed the �G.O.A.T� (Greatest Of All Time) title on Dhoni and of course on Vijay in the...(more)
