Thalapathy Vijay’s much-anticipated film ‘GOAT’ hit cinemas today, drawing massive crowds eager to witness the superstar’s latest performance. While fans have lauded Vijay’s portrayal, the film’s storyline has garnered mixed reactions.
Social media buzzed with praise for Vijay, with many fans expressing their delight at his powerful performance. One fan noted, “#TheGreatestOfAllTime – Vijay is a treat to watch. Fun, emotion & heroism, he just nailed it.” Another echoed, “Commercial cinema at its best! Engaging first half, peak second half, banger climax. Overall, a Thalapathy Vijay show.”
Despite the positive reception to Vijay’s acting, some viewers were less impressed with the film’s screenplay, labeling it “sluggish” and expressing disappointment with certain elements, including the de-aging effects and music. One X user commented, “First half is a snoozefest. Vijay’s star power can’t save the sluggish plot.”
