MASTER (2021) TAMIL REVIEW
With Tamil Superstars Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi both being orchestrated by 2 Films old director Lokesh Kanagaraj, he had the added pressure of right distribution of screen space for both. Lokesh has done a fine job in levelling both into distinct and correct proportions. The movie by all means is not fit for the OTT Space and the makers have waited for the release since April 2020 for the right reasons. Master is massy and is an all out big screen extravaganza which should be watched with a packed crowd. But unfortunately due to the pandemic the occupancy is limited to 50% hence the box office will not accumulate as the makers would have liked to. The best thing about the movie is the cast and their face-off where their individual stories run parallel to each other.
With Lokesh's Maanagaram and Kaithi , audience may have high expectations from master. But if not 100% , Master delivers what a massy movie feels like. Huge Star entries, Catchy Music, Outstanding BGM, Slow Motion Shots and Hard hitting dialogues alll with two superstars leading it is a sure shot box office winner. Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi both are outstanding as always. Malvika hasn't had much role but has done a decent job. High on entertainment but low in substance is what I would like to conclude my review.
Overall, Keep Your expectations low and sit and relax to enjoy the intimidating face-off between Two Tamil Superstars who make you realise why the pandemic needs to end to accommodate more massy movies which a country like India adores.
[Amazon] Although less accomplished than his two previous films, director Lokesh Kanagaraj achieves commercial entertainment that shines at times. It highlights the villain Vijay Sethupathi plays, dark enough to confront Vijay's much more topical hero. There are good action scenes and musical numbers with a spectacular soundtrack. It's everything you can ask for in a Tamil entertainment product like this one, but also a step back in the director's filmography.
Almost 3 hours of fun filled entertainment and enjoyment. Good movie with no unwanted romance. 8/10

I loved it so much omggggg this whole movie is an aesthetic.
I had found Bigil a bit disappointing (especially after Sarkar) but this movie is perfection! It's pretty fresh (e.g. no long, hideous backstory...not that I'm opposed to a good backstory) and Vijay Sethupathi played an AMAZING villiain — it was truly a treat to watch. And I haven't seen anything by this director before but I'm so impressed! His style is pretty unique and individualistic compared to a lot of Kollywood, and I loved the little details like the retro blue car, Vijay's ringtone, and the fancy alcohol bottles. And that whole bow and arrow scene at the end? Absolutely fantastic - I ate it up. The interesting shots/composition and editing choices were a delight to behold and I adored the fun ways in which music was used throughout the film.
I'm so pleased!!
EDIT: Almost forgot to mention but that Ghilli reference and the final backstory joke killed me skfhjsilfhf I adore this film.
