Nayanthara

Vijays Diwali release feels like two films in one: first, a paean to the superstar and second, a message to women that they can achieve whatever they want if the men in their family support them.

Telangana filmmaker Nandi Chinni Kumar says Bigil has striking similarities with the life story of a slum football player called Akhilesh Paul, whose biopic rights he had bought.

This Sivakarthikeyan-Nayanthara starrer is a sexist, misogynistic, transphobic cesspool of abuse passing for love.

The film has too many loose-ends and the flashback is just an over-cooked mash of melodrama.

I am tempted to look at Niranjana as the hero of the film. Shes the one who moves the story forward.
