What BR actually saying is, Kaithi could've been more compelling to him, if the action scenes of Karthi are a littttle bit more realistic, considering how spectacular the movie is and also how much more realistic Managaram was. That's all people. Now stop comparing Bigil with Kaithi. LOL. Up your game..!
I think his expectations about khaithi are different, he didn't expect that as a star movie because of lokesh's previous maanagaram movie and the interview he did before the release, with all these in his mind.when he saw the fights and all other unrealistic stuff, he disappointed...For others khaithi worked because they watched without any expectations in mind..By the way it worked for me too😜
@@KK-tx2cm I did mention there's nothing to compare at all. One movie shows the grit of a police station, whereas the other, blasts a police car inside a police station. Coming to the love track, it does effect the economy of the movie which we don't come to see and however we outcry such things, its gonna be a norm. According to BR, its better to atleast give the actress a role and not to use her like a puppet worshiping the mass hero like in template masala movies.
Deepak A I guess having low benchmark for a movie helps get positive reviews normally even if there is one step in right direction. The challenge (which Rajni faced as well) is then to not lose ur mass audience for the sake of the general audience ( who will find logic loop holes anyway)as the film meanders in the middle trying to please both sections.
The problem is how he has been treating commercial movies so far. Watch his Kappan, Sye Raa reviews, and then suddenly turns up and loves Bigil. Where is the consistency?
Vijay 50% (First Half) Women Empowerment 50% (Second Half) This is why some of them bashing movie, They want 90% of vijay. Personally i liked the movie.
I felt Rayappan underused and undervalued. I really liked his character a lot and I felt he was only in the film to die and fuel anger in Michael. I really wanted him to act as spiritual guidance to Bigil in the second act.
True.. director tried but there is no original ideas about Rayappan. He tried to emote already hit scenes like thalabathy movie for example.. if you watch closely all scenes Rayappan comes can be drawn back to some hit movie.. however Thalabathy performance was awesome
Atlee should have removed all those nonsense romance scene of vj & nayanthara in 1st half!!! And given more importance to rayappan & bigil character !!!
Could have made the game more interesting. All we see are goals and repeated/same angle shots of goal keeper flying n failing to stop the ball.. other than that it's a good film with few powerful scenes...
The name Bigil was not projected as an individual's name but an idea. Somewhat like "Kaala". Which is why Rayappan's dialogue was placed "Idhelam yaarala Rayappan? Michael alaya? Bigiley." So when all the players wore it on their jersey in the climax, it fit in properly.
It's ok people, baddy can like a movie you hate and vice versa. It's totally normal. Don't project your views in reviewers. Terms like hypocrisy won't work in artform since it's subjective.
See how many questions you had to face for saying you liked a Vijay movie. I think you will never do it again. That “Nee pesama Americavukke poiru Sivaji” moment 😂😂
@Unseen Vids the truth is none of these 4 actors' movies require 150 cr budget. At least other 3 actors understood and doing films in less than 100 cr budget. But vijay's films are bigger losses either to producer or distributor including Mersal. Vijay should do movies in less budget like his next movie.
Don't compare Surya n Vikram with Vijay ...they might be a gud actors but they r not entertainers like Vijay...first of all who is mersal is loss... actually the haters wants it but for your bad fortune it doesn't happend....think how a producer would ready to produce 150cr plus budget if mersal is loss...look whether u like it or not.... Vijay is the rajini of our generation...n to the brief he is face of South India without a single pan Indian movie
Ajith is the only competitor to Vijay but that also only inside Tami Nadu.... Vikram n Surya are not even in his league...Vijay is far beyond these guys now.
Overall the movie was quite good. The plot felt unfocused at times but the overall storyline was pretty good and Rayappan was an amazing character. Vijay's performances were amazing and Michael's character arc was very satisfying But Nayanthara's character was completely unnecessary and the some of the romantic scenes were cringey. She had no involvement in the plot and was merely an obligatory love interest. Her only contribution to the plot was the scene where she changes the mind of the football player's husband and that was a pretty great scene. The message was great and very relevant, but it was too on the nose and overdone. It should've been presented in a subtle manner. Some of the football scenes were corny af. Some of the fan service were annoying and frustrating, especially during the first act
"Films should be judged for what they set out to do" Absolutely agree with BR here. I would also like to add that, the marketing for the movie should keep in mind the intention of movie. That way the expectations can be controlled. Many times I'd end up attending a screening and dislike a movie because the marketing made me expect a different kind of movie than the one I ended up watching.
Rayappan character was simply the best part of the movie . Very well performed by vijay. It was the strongest part of the movie for me. The father son relationship worked wonders for the film. The scenes where the women( the married women and the acid attack victim) return to football were also well presented. Ultimately whatever negetives the film had were forgotten by me because i had a satisfied feeling when i walked out of the theatre and thats what matters the most. . And not to forgot, all the songs were superb in the film, really touching to the core.
Brangan, I need this cleared up because I'm discerning here that (with your reviews) you're starting to go into a gray area, duelling between the subjective and the objective - the latter, of course, uninfluenced by personal prejudices. I sense your analysis of Bigil is based on your own experiences of Theri and Mersal and the reason why you like Bigil is because your expectations have been subverted. _Are you saying Bigil is a good movie in general or are you saying it's a better movie than I would normally give due credit to because I didn't like their previous works?_ I personally felt Bigil was more enjoyable to watch than Mersal and Theri. But if I were to wear my film criticism hat (briefly), Bigil has too many contradictions in the script, challenges logic and *is not* a film dedicated to women (as it flags in bold text in the end) - I'd need my own video review of Bigil to highlight every flaw. But in the end, I walked out satisfied, feeling the director tried his best to make an honest movie despite it not doing what it set out to do. I much prefer another masala sports movie Ghilli which did a better job of combining those genres and was better written than Bigil.
@Moneshwaran Kannan 5th point is logical.. In women's tournaments there is not extra time give.. The commentators in the game themselves say in the film
I am really shocked by BR's review of bigil. Its bizarre because this movie doesn't have a proper screenplay, proper character depth, songs too were average except the 2 songs. What happened to you sir ?
I think this is Vijay's best movie. A true Vijay fan wants to see him this way. Yes we want to see him say mass punch dialogue, but Vijay had more fans because of his acting performance in kadhaluku mariyaathai, shajahan, poove unakaga. Rayappan is the best character for Vijay. His acting was so good and emotional. I really hope in next movie, lokesh will bring the best in Vijay and with less hero moments and more of Vijay's acting performance
Vijay can't choose good scripts. His films are completely over the top. And only focuses on heroism. Whereas actors like dhanush vjs are doing splendid films like super deluxe, vada Chennai, asuran on the other hand they also do maari, nanum rowdy thaan which are commercial cinema. And Vijay is only busy doing heroic cinema. He doesn't want to take risks. He's still doing same thing for years and years as said by the reviewer
@@kumarmadhan5942 Dhanush, vjs are this generation actor's. Vijay has been there for almost 27 years now. So you can't expect a massive change from him all of a sudden. He has built an audience for him all these years and all of a sudden you can't expect him to do a different movie. Because there is a big market, big business that's happening around him. So people invest their money for that. The same goes with Rajni and ajith. Rest all actors, they can easily experiment with their choices. Where as Vijay, ajith, Rajni its very difficult for them to completely change from what they are doing right now. That's practically impossible
@@rishi_krk that's true but don't you think as an actor Vijay should do atleast a good film. Instead of doing commercial cinema every now and then.atleast once where he's not saving anyone and working with good directors with some good story. I know that's never gonna happen
@@kumarmadhan5942 that's why I said this next movie with lokesh is very important movie in his career. If it's different, if it does well, then obviously things will change.
Vijay is the most misunderstood Tamil actor, people say he doesn't know how to act but the dude can pull any kind of character will all ease.. I really love the actor in him, not the massy him tbh
Bigoted mindset.. don't know what they seek to achieve... Chief reasons why as a nation we fail is because of the promulgation of these bigoted beliefs and intolerance
Problem with bigil is it's not a proper sports film or a proper masala film . It looks half baked . Usage of ' Dedicated to women ' phrase for this film felt like a complete joke to me .
@@guhan4606If I have to mention a proper masala film with sports scenes it is Ghilli . Ghilli's core plot is not about kabbadi , but Bigil's core plot is about football . So Bigil is not a masala film . It is a sports film messed up with masala . A confused product .
I used to be a big admirer of BR. I used to share his videos to various film enthusiasts and movie freaks and always introduced him as THE ROGER EBERT of Indian Cinema. Not anymore! All his recent reviews have been against the fundamental rule of film critique - Never Reveal The Plot. And then he lost his pattern of reviewing cinema, he contradicts his own philosophies, opinions & views from cinema to cinema and it really hurts me to see someone of his caliber going down this path. I sincerely don't understand what has gone wrong and why he has changed so much but this change hurts the cinema and the audience experience. It is time to say good-bye to BR. Sorry!
The most important thing BR says here and ppl should highlight is that, 1. U should understand what kind of movie u're watching. 2. See if the movie pulls of what it's trying to achieve 🤷🏾♂️ 3. (My point basically) If the movie's entertaining from start to finish, which is a movie's one and only job.
Everything is right. But, this guy didn't have the same mindset or parameters while watching movies like Kappaan or Sye Raa. There he was full on about logic and character development etc. Here, he likes the way Nayanthara is given a reason to stay on screen in the second half, and he was not amused with Tamanna's second half role in Sye Raa. Does smack of double standards.
Please do interview with atlee sir...i think this is the best compare to theri and mersal bcz bigil has more layers and casting is big so the duration of the movie is 3hrs this is acceptable...atlee make this flim with all mixtures like Sentiment Buildup shots...i like rayappan characterisation i want vijay act like this type of character...
Am I the only one who noticed that the conversation between Rayappan and Michael at their house is inspired by the conversation between Vito and Michael Corleone at the ending of the Godfather
@karthik b "I never wanted this for you. When it was your time, I thought you would be the one to hold the strings. Senator Corleone, Governor Corleone....."
So remember Kaapan when you said it tries to do a lot of things and fails on everything ? Yeah Bigil is also trying to do exactly the same, it wants to be a sports movie, a women empowerment movie, a North Madras movie, and over all that it also wants to be a Vijay movie and it fails on all fronts. I have no idea what got into you man.
Kaapaan wasn't as seamless at balancing those things as Bigil was, though. That's where it didn't work. Bigil wasn't perfect but its multiple trajectories intertwined very well towards the end.
I kind of agree with BR. It had moments that worked for me in the movie and there were so many things that they got wrong in Bigil. Atlee is really good at getting portions of the movie right and actually leaves an impact on you. I guess that's where Kaapan failed.
Your review for a movie seems more dependent on what bias you carry over before watching a movie. You seem to have given up on Atlee Vijay combo that even a movie which you say has a good screenplay* didn't disappoint you compared to Kaithi which was good but could've been better as per your review. As much as I understand where you're coming from, as in your expectations from a Lokesh movie were far higher than an Atlee movie hence the review. But as a movie-goer who appreciates good movies, even though I can understand the underlying sentiment, to hear you say Bigil was more satisfying really does hurt. * Screenplay, from my limited understanding is moving from x to y. I come from Vetrimaaran's school of film-making wherein it is first a science, then art and then commerce... the movie is filled with logical loopholes which as much as I hate to say, blue-sattai maaran talks about it more than you do. You seem to have given up completely on the story that you're okay with whatever be the output.
I agree more with blue sattai review than what BR is trying to sell... I'm not disappointed with Bigil movie but with this double standard of BR! No idea why he is trying to sell this movie
@@sadeeshelumalai4903 Hey, I don't think he is selling any movie here. My angst is not with him being a vijay fan or what not but his whole reviewing system, wherein his bar is set too low for an Atlee Movie compared to a Lokesh movie and his take on them. As a reviewer he is telling his view but I am unable to accept that and so venting it, problem is with me.. nothing to do with his bias. Only thing I am hoping for is a course correction.
@@Mohammedannamaja ji. Felt the songs were shot superbly. Could see the richness in both verithanam and singapenne. Apart from that, yes neenga solradhum correct.
i grew up watching commercial films and grew up to watch world cinema and even now i love both commercial films and slow hours long art films. and for me logic has never been a issue while watching a commercial film as i know the genre trait is that it defies logic. your point of view is that science comes first but that like looking at an argument from only your perspective but i believe each genre is different and you need to view commercial movies with the suspension of belief. And with bigil i believe that it was wrongly marketed as a women's empowerment film while actually it was more a sub plot but yet it all work.
About the question about fat shaming,I guess there was an emotional sequence of Pandiyamma explaining her feelings (We can observe in trailer) maybe it got edited in the final version.
In kaithi he's no superhero. The action scenes were connected to the hero's past sir and just because bigil has a proper screenplay structure dosent mean it was not a shitty one. Cant believe ur supporting this movie sir.
Bigil is decent at best, nothing much to talk about. But what surprised me was how women in the 2nd half were enjoying in the theatres & it showed how Vijay still remains a hero for the masses. For me it was just a normal watchable movie.
@@JetsonNityagospel yeah taken but when it is a sports movie you can't give such reasons....I have never seen anywhere that two players are included to a squard overnight without concerning anyone with just coach's decision....
I liked the movie in bits as well but disliked it for the exact reasons why BR liked it. I am tired of seeing women's struggles being used as a plot point to further glorify the hero. Fat-shaming was a problem, the acid attack trauma is a lot deeper than they show in the movie, the Tambram let his wife play after one (half-convincing) speech from Nayanthara. Yeah, that doesn't happen in a family that is so conservative that they don't let a woman who passed her IAS exams work. I don't know how I should feel about the message in this movie, should I be happy that it is even there or should I be disappointed with the fact that we've evolved so little with storytelling techniques of our societal problems.
We should be happy that at least these r addressed in this movie because of the fan base and wider audience .it willnot happen in reality but at least it happened here and it gives u happiness
@@ganapathybalasubramanian4505 That is the problem. How long should we be happy about sub-standard storytelling (or rather sub-standard solutions to real-life problems)? It is like telling the government is not killing you and you should be happy about that rather than complaining about the fact that they have not facilitated an environment that is livable.
'It is not about the women'!! Now u change the entire perspective of the movie, even when there is an end card that says 'Dedicated to all women'. Super justification. You call it a template movie, and forgive it for having some football. Enna sir aachu ungalukku?
Thanks for making this video BR. Many people thinks themselves as a critic and judge Bigil in so many different ways. All I basically think is that many people are jealous about Vijay,his movies,his fan base and his growth as a superstar next to Rajini. Whatever shit they think or talk about him will not stop him or his growth. Thanks to Atlee for giving 3 blockbuster entertainers to our Thalapathy. The only thing which I personally felt as a con in bigil is wasting Anandharaj other than that it was full 3hrs long entertaining movie for me and my young little Vijay fan(daughter) in my family!!!
I had same issue with BR review back when Petta and Viswasam released. In #Viswasam review he said my expectations were so low for Ajith-Shiva movie same case with #Bigil finally Vijay-Atlee gets it right? The reason he liked both these movies coz his exception were so low. Y?? Coz of their previous movie's. But Kaithi didn't impress him much coz he liked Lokesh previous movie #Managaram which was more realistic. In Kaithi there were mass movements like fight scenes and BR started disliking it. How can u like or dislike a movie when u start comparing with directors previous movie. Even in this video u said we shouldn't compare with #Super Delux and #Bigil as both are different movie. Even my question is same how can u compare with directors previous work? #Maanagaram and #Kaithi are totally different movies?
That fat shaming is talked about a lot.. Ya it's critical coming from a top hero..!! But see it in a movie pov, a coach or take it our PT master will be critical about fitness. It is over the top heat when it comes from professional game locker room set up. The heating up happens always just for that time. Ppl take it way too seriously
I know a lot of people think BR is biased this time, but i don't think so despite feeling different from him. He has supported less popular movies that were not particularly praised for making quality. I just think he likes emotions on a lighter level compared to dark toned movies and prefers movies that talk about real things that affect our life rather than movies which are about things that a commoner would never come across. I still liked kaithi better than bigil despite being an ardent Vijay fan.. eager for #Thalapathy64. Can't wait to see what Lokesh does with vijay.
Very disappointed sir. 1. How conveniently you mention Nayanthara coming in as a Physiotherapist is good. Compare it with Thani Oruvan where she actually does fingerprint analysis as she is in forensics. Here all that she does is hug Vijay. So what's the big deal if she is there in this movie or not? 2. Are you realizing an element of bias in your reviews where your expectation levels are not consistent and your scale is not consistent too?
You had mentioned in your review that the first 30 mins or so is purely Vijay’s fan service.. And you said it with a positive note as well.. How could you do that? Why do I have to sit and watch those 30mins being a general audience ..It literally killed my time.. Please don’t glorify these kinda scenes..
Did Atlee or BR put a gun on your head and made you watch Bigil.. Its out of your interest u went and watched.. and now blaming BR or Atlee?? If u expect a Avatar out of Atlee-Vijai combo, then it's you whom to be blamed...
Aravind Sahayaraj haha.. in that case, why do these guys review a movie first of all? Let them just watch and leave.. Why will they review and ask us to like, comment, share and subscribe their video?? This is democracy bro..
BR has accepted the fact these mass illogical movies cannot be stopped being done all of a sudden , and has reviewed bigil as a standalone mass film . I think we all should accept with BR.
@@vasu6494 watch ASKBR of viswasam...he wouldve said same thing genre based reviews..he reviews like this nly nd his expectations are dffrnt for dffrnt genres....he stands on his point not nly for vijay films...only fools like u will compare both khaithi nd bigil review nd say like he said positive for bigil nd not for khaithi....but he doesnot mean that way..it is unfair to compare both movies...if u still cant accept him unsubscribe the channel😝
I think u could have reviewed Lucifer Malayalam movie as a commercial masala movie . I think you were a bit too harsh on it . I liked the movie as a commercial suspense thriller and was very engaging
Its actually a contradiction. Apparently its supposed to display women empowerment but as usual on the other hand they portray women in a negative shade. What was the purpose of showing Nayandra as making her getting married a couple of times. That is simply unrealistic and borderline making fun of women's decision making.
I watched Kennedy Club only recently - and realised they're pretty much the same - except for the sport and the importance given to Bharathi Raja as against Karhir and without a heroine..
He is facing all the questions and giving Answers. If u don't like the movie u can also ask .y saying mokka again and again. Since people r interested to ask his view he is doing it
First of all. That desperation from BR is unseen one. Definitely there's something behind this stuffed #AskBR session. Just as thought, he picked NKP n Viswasam n equated Bigil to that. Easy convincing technique. Isn't it?
Think BR is more influenced by Vijay n his movies. Doesn't want to talk anything real, which means negative. Though it prevails all over d movie starting from d opening College scene n d buildup at d end. BR pls change n b original. Talk reality abt some NONSENSE movie of any star that's y v come to ur channel. Don't alter ur views jus to play for d music. Where has all ur rational thinking gone.
Why u all r so concerned about BR liking a Vijay movie?? Might be he went with low expectations but ended up liking the movie.. Same happened for viswasam.. All u r reactions are over the top to be frank.. U tell me u r best movie which worked for u.. I can find 100 flaws in it.. I liked mersal more than bigil but BR's review for mersal was just 2 stars.. So u could argue upon this topic endlessly without finding a solution.. U might like Vijay's next movie but BR could find 100 flaws in it..
@@allloveallreply for ur question???watch ASKBR of viswasam...he wouldve said same thing genre based reviews....he stands on his point not nly for vijay films...if u still cant accept him unsubscribe the channel
BR trying very hard and difficult to convince that Bigil worked for him . Most of the questions were against his reviews. I feel that proves this movie was so unentertaining with predictable scenes.
I also thought like that but I think he is genuine. He only cares about 2 things: screen play and character arc. I now get why he liked bigil and viswasam
BR is useless when it comes to commercial movie. Especially Vijay type of movies where nothing new will be tried in any way. . He will talk about negatives of kaidhi. But will talk as if bigil is a classic without any flaws. Foolish.
At the end of the cinema is a entertaining medium n business.. Bigil is gud at both...it's financially big success that is wat producers n distributors want..thats where Vijay is best at.....n more over the film couldn't able to give this big success of it is not received by audience..... actually it is received more by family audience....they will come to social media or platforms to say that they liked the movie ,it only shows in collections...
Very disappointing and very preachy..... until bigil character comes to the scene these girls doesn't know what's the life is. In this smartphone era...do we need someone to motivate!!!! I don't see any logic!!!! don't know why br sir is defending the movie instead of discussing the mistakes... i am fan of br sir's reviews !!!!!
You say you have a problem with 'heroes going and beating up 100 people randomly with some manufactured situation'. Well, the final fight in Bigil is manufactured. You bring back Daniel Balaji, make him kidnap a girl, give Vijay a cocaine shot, and Vijay in the cocaine-induced stupor manages to beat up ( i didn't count) many guys and deliver a sermon which changes Daniel Balaji's outlook towards life. You didn't find that situation manufactured? Also think that Jackie Shroff is shown to be going and meeting Daniel Balaji and hiring him to do it. How SHroff knows about Balaji and his rivalry with Vijay is also a question. But, since you have forgiven everything because of the 'hero template', I guess we'll just let it pass.
One of the best episodes of Ask BR. After watching this, now I’m wondering that the movie was actually better than I thought it was. Still, Mersal was better! 😜

Take out Nayanthara or even the Physiotherapist character from the film and yet nobody will miss it. There is not even a reason for how Angel & Michael fell for each other. And yet u find Kajal & Samantha characters useless in Mersal. Time to return that Award of urs
There are so many illogical and flawed scenes in the screenplay, from the start of the movie: 1) In the mens tournament itself, Tamilnadu team plays the final with Manipur team and wins the Tournament Cup. I assume its somewhat like Ranji trophy for state level competition. Young Vijay comes home with the cup already and yet Father Vijay keeps saying "cup mukiyam". When he has already won the state level tournament cup for tamilnadu, why is the whole team going to Delhi? another state level competition? duh! 2) After Father Vijay speaks to Jackie Shroff, he comes out and says all your names will be in the list, if this is national team selection how can they put whole teams name in the list? 3) Bigil such a popular player and yet the women football team knows nothing about him. Let alone the elderly from Tamilnadu Footbal Asso. also does not know about bigil until Kathir tell him. Rubbish. 4) Young Vijay becomes the coach but thats not it, he becomes chief selector and goes on to select 2 players on his own will in the middle of the tournament, a nobody to numero uno of TM Football Asso. 5) The football team has already travelled to Delhi for tournament and a physiotherapist must have been with them already even when kathir was coach, now all of sudden when Vijay is coach , Nayanthara replaces the existing physiotherapist. Intentionally forced. 6) Two players who did not play football for last 3-4 years and yet they come into the Tamil nadu team without any fitness and recent form. 7) Unnecessary extras, especially a good actor like Anandaraj being wasted standing silently most of the time. 8) They say its women empowerment movie and yet Young Vijay tells Nayanthara "give me cup after 10 days but accompany me till then" and then later in the movie he goes on ridicule a player's physique and called it motivation. 9) In the final match, when vijay walks into dressing room, everyone had expected a proper motivational speech but NO, the director messes up, instead ridicules players and calls it motivational speech. 10) The final moments are completely copied from Chak De India and if you tell this to atlee, you what Atlee gonna say which he has said before when accused of plagiarism. With so many flaws, one cannot claim it to be a good movie, film making and screenplay was totally ordinary which BR is completely ignoring.
really disappointed with you #ASKBR..no negatives??..anandharaj didnt have scenes and why micheal's ka is not reveled of her character!..how that girls didnt recognize the bigil was a national player??
If I understand correctly you are saying this kuppa is better than all the other kuppais Atlee and Vijay have done together before. But like you always say we have to judge the movie about how well it achieved what it set out to do. Well this movie was supposed to be a women centric film according to how their marketed the film. Which wasn't the case. It's so idiotic to see Vijay spoon feeding them upto the last penalty kick of the movie. No way this film has achieved what it wanted to. So definitely disappointed with your review.
Seems like BR liked Atlee's screenplay in this movie. Vijay should do other kind of films for a complete actor, which Vijay Sethupathi, Kamal Haasan, Madhavan, Arya, Dhanush, etc.. have done. RomCom, Thriller, Drama, Mass movies. Same for Ajith too. Attu Lee has got presentation skills and marks. VFX was awful. At the end of the day, another cliché film, for Vijay's fans only and fans of Masala movies. ARR??? Singapenne-Women/Feminist audience Verithanam-Pullingo/Boy gang audience Unakaga-That couple audience Conclusion- I love Sambar, but I wont eat it everyday.
All song dance and fights and hero worship was done away with the first half? The second half has 2 fights, one 'mass' scene in the police station, and 2 credits scenes - all for the hero only. Did u sleep through those portions? And, in your Kappaan review, you had taken specific umbrage to the way the SPG commandos operated while protecting the PM. You had problems with how they were reacting to crises etc.. And here in Bigil, you have no problem with the coach becoming the ad hoc team selector, appointing some random person as the physio and team staff as per his whims, and bringing in two players from the cold straight into a tournament with no fitness schedule. You forgive all this under the excuse that this is a 'mass' movie and we have to expect this when hero-centric movies are made. Even Kaappan was a mass hero-centric movie. WHy didn't you allow the same leeway for Kaappan?
BR is a v biased reviewer in my opinion. I believe people just watch the opinions of these so called reviewers to just pass on the time and no one gives a damn about their reviews. If they had, then Super Deluxe would have been the biggest hit of the year and Petta, Viswasam,NVP, Bigil, Kanchana3 would have been disaster.
I didn't like the movie at all .It just glorified vijay in all the possible ways .It is ok in an ordinary movie but in a A movie which they say is about women empowerment they rarely show women taking decisions on their own . Everything they ever did was to follow Vijay's instructions . How can a huge star like vijay agree to body shaming ?If Atlee had given this scene Vijay should have told that he will not do so. Or did he not find body shaming wrong? How will he fell if he is body shamed .Does he think he is like Hrithik Roshan ?
Just because he did not like viswasam you are telling this...anyway person like you are the one who controls women upcoming in society...way to go bro...dont call yourself a man you are worst than an animal
What BR actually saying is, Kaithi could've been more compelling to him, if the action scenes of Karthi are a littttle bit more realistic, considering how spectacular the movie is and also how much more realistic Managaram was. That's all people. Now stop comparing Bigil with Kaithi. LOL. Up your game..!
I think his expectations about khaithi are different, he didn't expect that as a star movie because of lokesh's previous maanagaram movie and the interview he did before the release, with all these in his mind.when he saw the fights and all other unrealistic stuff, he disappointed...For others khaithi worked because they watched without any expectations in mind..By the way it worked for me too😜
@@KK-tx2cm I did mention there's nothing to compare at all. One movie shows the grit of a police station, whereas the other, blasts a police car inside a police station. Coming to the love track, it does effect the economy of the movie which we don't come to see and however we outcry such things, its gonna be a norm. According to BR, its better to atleast give the actress a role and not to use her like a puppet worshiping the mass hero like in template masala movies.
Deepak A I guess having low benchmark for a movie helps get positive reviews normally even if there is one step in right direction. The challenge (which Rajni faced as well) is then to not lose ur mass audience for the sake of the general audience ( who will find logic loop holes anyway)as the film meanders in the middle trying to please both sections.
The problem is how he has been treating commercial movies so far. Watch his Kappan, Sye Raa reviews, and then suddenly turns up and loves Bigil. Where is the consistency?
@@cricofando-3954 Nah, you are oversimplifying. The reasons he gave for why Kaappan or Sye Raa didn't work for him were for different reasons.
Vijay 50% (First Half)
Women Empowerment 50% (Second Half)
This is why some of them bashing movie,
They want 90% of vijay.
Personally i liked the movie.
I felt Rayappan underused and undervalued. I really liked his character a lot and I felt he was only in the film to die and fuel anger in Michael. I really wanted him to act as spiritual guidance to Bigil in the second act.
True.. director tried but there is no original ideas about Rayappan. He tried to emote already hit scenes like thalabathy movie for example.. if you watch closely all scenes Rayappan comes can be drawn back to some hit movie.. however Thalabathy performance was awesome
Atlee should have removed all those nonsense romance scene of vj & nayanthara in 1st half!!! And given more importance to rayappan & bigil character !!!
Could have made the game more interesting. All we see are goals and repeated/same angle shots of goal keeper flying n failing to stop the ball.. other than that it's a good film with few powerful scenes...
The name Bigil was not projected as an individual's name but an idea. Somewhat like "Kaala". Which is why Rayappan's dialogue was placed "Idhelam yaarala Rayappan? Michael alaya? Bigiley." So when all the players wore it on their jersey in the climax, it fit in properly.
It's ok people, baddy can like a movie you hate and vice versa. It's totally normal. Don't project your views in reviewers. Terms like hypocrisy won't work in artform since it's subjective.

@@guhan4606 even vijay does tht in Bigil... Bro...
A good villain example.... Action king arjun in irumbuthirai can also be considered
See how many questions you had to face for saying you liked a Vijay movie. I think you will never do it again. That “Nee pesama Americavukke poiru Sivaji” moment 😂😂
@Unseen Vids the truth is none of these 4 actors' movies require 150 cr budget. At least other 3 actors understood and doing films in less than 100 cr budget. But vijay's films are bigger losses either to producer or distributor including Mersal. Vijay should do movies in less budget like his next movie.
Don't compare Surya n Vikram with Vijay ...they might be a gud actors but they r not entertainers like Vijay...first of all who is mersal is loss... actually the haters wants it but for your bad fortune it doesn't happend....think how a producer would ready to produce 150cr plus budget if mersal is loss...look whether u like it or not.... Vijay is the rajini of our generation...n to the brief he is face of South India without a single pan Indian movie
Ajith is the only competitor to Vijay but that also only inside Tami Nadu.... Vikram n Surya are not even in his league...Vijay is far beyond these guys now.
Overall the movie was quite good. The plot felt unfocused at times but the overall storyline was pretty good and Rayappan was an amazing character. Vijay's performances were amazing and Michael's character arc was very satisfying
But Nayanthara's character was completely unnecessary and the some of the romantic scenes were cringey. She had no involvement in the plot and was merely an obligatory love interest. Her only contribution to the plot was the scene where she changes the mind of the football player's husband and that was a pretty great scene. The message was great and very relevant, but it was too on the nose and overdone. It should've been presented in a subtle manner. Some of the football scenes were corny af. Some of the fan service were annoying and frustrating, especially during the first act
Yeah, Michael's character arc is one of the best since thuppaki for Vijay.
"Films should be judged for what they set out to do" Absolutely agree with BR here. I would also like to add that, the marketing for the movie should keep in mind the intention of movie. That way the expectations can be controlled. Many times I'd end up attending a screening and dislike a movie because the marketing made me expect a different kind of movie than the one I ended up watching.
Rayappan character was simply the best part of the movie . Very well performed by vijay. It was the strongest part of the movie for me. The father son relationship worked wonders for the film.
The scenes where the women( the married women and the acid attack victim) return to football were also well presented.
Ultimately whatever negetives the film had were forgotten by me because i had a satisfied feeling when i walked out of the theatre and thats what matters the most. . And not to forgot, all the songs were superb in the film, really touching to the core.
True
Brangan, I need this cleared up because I'm discerning here that (with your reviews) you're starting to go into a gray area, duelling between the subjective and the objective - the latter, of course, uninfluenced by personal prejudices. I sense your analysis of Bigil is based on your own experiences of Theri and Mersal and the reason why you like Bigil is because your expectations have been subverted.
_Are you saying Bigil is a good movie in general or are you saying it's a better movie than I would normally give due credit to because I didn't like their previous works?_
I personally felt Bigil was more enjoyable to watch than Mersal and Theri. But if I were to wear my film criticism hat (briefly), Bigil has too many contradictions in the script, challenges logic and *is not* a film dedicated to women (as it flags in bold text in the end) - I'd need my own video review of Bigil to highlight every flaw. But in the end, I walked out satisfied, feeling the director tried his best to make an honest movie despite it not doing what it set out to do. I much prefer another masala sports movie Ghilli which did a better job of combining those genres and was better written than Bigil.
A critic version
@@prabhur9652 ?
@Moneshwaran Kannan 5th point is logical.. In women's tournaments there is not extra time give.. The commentators in the game themselves say in the film
I am really shocked by BR's review of bigil. Its bizarre because this movie doesn't have a proper screenplay, proper character depth, songs too were average except the 2 songs. What happened to you sir ?
Mass question man..he's biased in his review. He got anger on many movies like kaapan.& more..but this movie..something not gud
I too thought of asking the same...Watched Yesterday....This Time BR bought big box from Ags
I think this is Vijay's best movie. A true Vijay fan wants to see him this way. Yes we want to see him say mass punch dialogue, but Vijay had more fans because of his acting performance in kadhaluku mariyaathai, shajahan, poove unakaga. Rayappan is the best character for Vijay. His acting was so good and emotional.
I really hope in next movie, lokesh will bring the best in Vijay and with less hero moments and more of Vijay's acting performance
Vijay can't choose good scripts. His films are completely over the top. And only focuses on heroism. Whereas actors like dhanush vjs are doing splendid films like super deluxe, vada Chennai, asuran on the other hand they also do maari, nanum rowdy thaan which are commercial cinema. And Vijay is only busy doing heroic cinema. He doesn't want to take risks. He's still doing same thing for years and years as said by the reviewer
@@kumarmadhan5942 Dhanush, vjs are this generation actor's. Vijay has been there for almost 27 years now. So you can't expect a massive change from him all of a sudden. He has built an audience for him all these years and all of a sudden you can't expect him to do a different movie. Because there is a big market, big business that's happening around him. So people invest their money for that. The same goes with Rajni and ajith. Rest all actors, they can easily experiment with their choices. Where as Vijay, ajith, Rajni its very difficult for them to completely change from what they are doing right now. That's practically impossible
@@rishi_krk that's true but don't you think as an actor Vijay should do atleast a good film. Instead of doing commercial cinema every now and then.atleast once where he's not saving anyone and working with good directors with some good story. I know that's never gonna happen
@@kumarmadhan5942 that's why I said this next movie with lokesh is very important movie in his career. If it's different, if it does well, then obviously things will change.
Vijay is the most misunderstood Tamil actor, people say he doesn't know how to act but the dude can pull any kind of character will all ease..
I really love the actor in him, not the massy him tbh
Why Atlee is so mean to Tambrahms in Bigil ?
1. Gayathri's family
2. Secretary to JackieShroff
Read this Arul. swarajyamag.com/culture/in-bigil-director-atlee-deserves-no-clemency-he-is-peddling-hate
Bigoted mindset.. don't know what they seek to achieve... Chief reasons why as a nation we fail is because of the promulgation of these bigoted beliefs and intolerance
What is Tambrahm?? Tamil brahmins??
Problem with bigil is it's not a proper sports film or a proper masala film . It looks half baked .
Usage of ' Dedicated to women ' phrase for this film felt like a complete joke to me .
thats exactly the point
Bigil is not a sports film. It's a masala flick with sports scenes. End of discussion
@@guhan4606If I have to mention a proper masala film with sports scenes it is Ghilli . Ghilli's core plot is not about kabbadi , but Bigil's core plot is about football . So Bigil is not a masala film . It is a sports film messed up with masala . A confused product .
I used to be a big admirer of BR. I used to share his videos to various film enthusiasts and movie freaks and always introduced him as THE ROGER EBERT of Indian Cinema.
Not anymore! All his recent reviews have been against the fundamental rule of film critique - Never Reveal The Plot. And then he lost his pattern of reviewing cinema, he contradicts his own philosophies, opinions & views from cinema to cinema and it really hurts me to see someone of his caliber going down this path.
I sincerely don't understand what has gone wrong and why he has changed so much but this change hurts the cinema and the audience experience.
It is time to say good-bye to BR.
Sorry!
The most important thing BR says here and ppl should highlight is that, 1. U should understand what kind of movie u're watching. 2. See if the movie pulls of what it's trying to achieve 🤷🏾♂️ 3. (My point basically) If the movie's entertaining from start to finish, which is a movie's one and only job.
Everything is right. But, this guy didn't have the same mindset or parameters while watching movies like Kappaan or Sye Raa. There he was full on about logic and character development etc. Here, he likes the way Nayanthara is given a reason to stay on screen in the second half, and he was not amused with Tamanna's second half role in Sye Raa. Does smack of double standards.
Baddy, Can u do #AskBr for thuppaki ?? it will be intresting to see ur take on it
Rightly said - Its a Vijay movie with a football project for him.
Had all of this been squished into 150 mins, it could have been better.
Please do interview with atlee sir...i think this is the best compare to theri and mersal bcz bigil has more layers and casting is big so the duration of the movie is 3hrs this is acceptable...atlee make this flim with all mixtures like Sentiment Buildup shots...i like rayappan characterisation i want vijay act like this type of character...
When You Said The Word "Internal Villain", Superb man. Glad to know the Acknowledgement of that portion to being made.
Aravind Ragam
Yeah if that was visible it will be another different level
Am I the only one who noticed that the conversation between Rayappan and Michael at their house is inspired by the conversation between Vito and Michael Corleone at the ending of the Godfather
🤣🤣
Mental
@karthik b "I never wanted this for you. When it was your time, I thought you would be the one to hold the strings. Senator Corleone, Governor Corleone....."
@karthik b yep. I think that was intentional
So remember Kaapan when you said it tries to do a lot of things and fails on everything ? Yeah Bigil is also trying to do exactly the same, it wants to be a sports movie, a women empowerment movie, a North Madras movie, and over all that it also wants to be a Vijay movie and it fails on all fronts. I have no idea what got into you man.
Kaapaan wasn't as seamless at balancing those things as Bigil was, though. That's where it didn't work. Bigil wasn't perfect but its multiple trajectories intertwined very well towards the end.
I kind of agree with BR. It had moments that worked for me in the movie and there were so many things that they got wrong in Bigil. Atlee is really good at getting portions of the movie right and actually leaves an impact on you. I guess that's where Kaapan failed.
I'm not saying bigil was as bad as kaapan but I'm just saying BR has gone too soft on bigil for whatever reasons.
@@aquaeyes33 true, the emotion worked very well in the film . Atlee knows how to present emotions in an convincing manner
Exactly. He absolutely went berserk against Kappan, and he finds Bigil likeable. How?
Your review for a movie seems more dependent on what bias you carry over before watching a movie. You seem to have given up on Atlee Vijay combo that even a movie which you say has a good screenplay* didn't disappoint you compared to Kaithi which was good but could've been better as per your review. As much as I understand where you're coming from, as in your expectations from a Lokesh movie were far higher than an Atlee movie hence the review. But as a movie-goer who appreciates good movies, even though I can understand the underlying sentiment, to hear you say Bigil was more satisfying really does hurt.
* Screenplay, from my limited understanding is moving from x to y. I come from Vetrimaaran's school of film-making wherein it is first a science, then art and then commerce... the movie is filled with logical loopholes which as much as I hate to say, blue-sattai maaran talks about it more than you do. You seem to have given up completely on the story that you're okay with whatever be the output.
I agree more with blue sattai review than what BR is trying to sell... I'm not disappointed with Bigil movie but with this double standard of BR! No idea why he is trying to sell this movie
@@sadeeshelumalai4903 Hey, I don't think he is selling any movie here. My angst is not with him being a vijay fan or what not but his whole reviewing system, wherein his bar is set too low for an Atlee Movie compared to a Lokesh movie and his take on them. As a reviewer he is telling his view but I am unable to accept that and so venting it, problem is with me.. nothing to do with his bias. Only thing I am hoping for is a course correction.
@@Mohammedannamaja ji money and all why for us...movie nalla irundha poorum.
@@Mohammedannamaja ji. Felt the songs were shot superbly. Could see the richness in both verithanam and singapenne. Apart from that, yes neenga solradhum correct.
i grew up watching commercial films and grew up to watch world cinema and even now i love both commercial films and slow hours long art films. and for me logic has never been a issue while watching a commercial film as i know the genre trait is that it defies logic. your point of view is that science comes first but that like looking at an argument from only your perspective but i believe each genre is different and you need to view commercial movies with the suspension of belief. And with bigil i believe that it was wrongly marketed as a women's empowerment film while actually it was more a sub plot but yet it all work.
About the question about fat shaming,I guess there was an emotional sequence of Pandiyamma explaining her feelings (We can observe in trailer) maybe it got edited in the final version.
Yes, I wish they cut the stupid first 20 mins and added extra weight to characters. Whatta bummer
@@guhan4606 Yes, maybe the longer runtime made the makers to choose between scenes rather than showing what they've completely made.
In kaithi he's no superhero. The action scenes were connected to the hero's past sir and just because bigil has a proper screenplay structure dosent mean it was not a shitty one. Cant believe ur supporting this movie sir.
Very elegant analysis..Totally agree with every point..
Bigil is decent at best, nothing much to talk about. But what surprised me was how women in the 2nd half were enjoying in the theatres & it showed how Vijay still remains a hero for the masses.
For me it was just a normal watchable movie.
Man you loved the movie. Like so many others.
Verithanam 🔥pullaingoo🔥🤩

@@JetsonNityagospel yeah taken but when it is a sports movie you can't give such reasons....I have never seen anywhere that two players are included to a squard overnight without concerning anyone with just coach's decision....

Good one as usual. The shirt looks funny on you somehow 😂
I agree with your answers but not with the review of both movies!!!
Just tell me what did you smoke when you were watching the movie??!!
🤣🤣
I liked the movie in bits as well but disliked it for the exact reasons why BR liked it. I am tired of seeing women's struggles being used as a plot point to further glorify the hero. Fat-shaming was a problem, the acid attack trauma is a lot deeper than they show in the movie, the Tambram let his wife play after one (half-convincing) speech from Nayanthara. Yeah, that doesn't happen in a family that is so conservative that they don't let a woman who passed her IAS exams work.
I don't know how I should feel about the message in this movie, should I be happy that it is even there or should I be disappointed with the fact that we've evolved so little with storytelling techniques of our societal problems.
I felt the same way
We should be happy that at least these r addressed in this movie because of the fan base and wider audience .it willnot happen in reality but at least it happened here and it gives u happiness
@@ganapathybalasubramanian4505 That is the problem. How long should we be happy about sub-standard storytelling (or rather sub-standard solutions to real-life problems)? It is like telling the government is not killing you and you should be happy about that rather than complaining about the fact that they have not facilitated an environment that is livable.
@@aquaeyes33 movies for entertainment only. Some movies give u message some not. Am happy at least they shown some motivational things.
@BR: a collab with moving images kishore would be a treat. Just saying..
'It is not about the women'!! Now u change the entire perspective of the movie, even when there is an end card that says 'Dedicated to all women'. Super justification. You call it a template movie, and forgive it for having some football. Enna sir aachu ungalukku?
Thanks for making this video BR. Many people thinks themselves as a critic and judge Bigil in so many different ways. All I basically think is that many people are jealous about Vijay,his movies,his fan base and his growth as a superstar next to Rajini. Whatever shit they think or talk about him will not stop him or his growth. Thanks to Atlee for giving 3 blockbuster entertainers to our Thalapathy. The only thing which I personally felt as a con in bigil is wasting Anandharaj other than that it was full 3hrs long entertaining movie for me and my young little Vijay fan(daughter) in my family!!!

I had same issue with BR review back when Petta and Viswasam released. In #Viswasam review he said my expectations were so low for Ajith-Shiva movie same case with #Bigil finally Vijay-Atlee gets it right? The reason he liked both these movies coz his exception were so low. Y?? Coz of their previous movie's. But Kaithi didn't impress him much coz he liked Lokesh previous movie #Managaram which was more realistic. In Kaithi there were mass movements like fight scenes and BR started disliking it. How can u like or dislike a movie when u start comparing with directors previous movie. Even in this video u said we shouldn't compare with #Super Delux and #Bigil as both are different movie. Even my question is same how can u compare with directors previous work? #Maanagaram and #Kaithi are totally different movies?
That fat shaming is talked about a lot.. Ya it's critical coming from a top hero..!! But see it in a movie pov, a coach or take it our PT master will be critical about fitness. It is over the top heat when it comes from professional game locker room set up. The heating up happens always just for that time. Ppl take it way too seriously
Yes ! People fail to see this as a dialogue said by the coach: Micheal, instead they see it has something said by actor Vijay
I know a lot of people think BR is biased this time, but i don't think so despite feeling different from him. He has supported less popular movies that were not particularly praised for making quality. I just think he likes emotions on a lighter level compared to dark toned movies and prefers movies that talk about real things that affect our life rather than movies which are about things that a commoner would never come across. I still liked kaithi better than bigil despite being an ardent Vijay fan.. eager for #Thalapathy64. Can't wait to see what Lokesh does with vijay.
That works very well in Dhruvam Mammotty movie it had a very strong and cunning villian
Very disappointed sir.
1. How conveniently you mention Nayanthara coming in as a Physiotherapist is good. Compare it with Thani Oruvan where she actually does fingerprint analysis as she is in forensics. Here all that she does is hug Vijay. So what's the big deal if she is there in this movie or not?
2. Are you realizing an element of bias in your reviews where your expectation levels are not consistent and your scale is not consistent too?
Fantastic review.. :-) love from kerala BR
You had mentioned in your review that the first 30 mins or so is purely Vijay’s fan service.. And you said it with a positive note as well.. How could you do that? Why do I have to sit and watch those 30mins being a general audience ..It literally killed my time.. Please don’t glorify these kinda scenes..
Correct, Vijay is no Rajni who easily pulled off Petta(a movie by the fan for the fans) and has a larger repertoire for nostalgia unlike Vijay.
Did Atlee or BR put a gun on your head and made you watch Bigil.. Its out of your interest u went and watched.. and now blaming BR or Atlee??
If u expect a Avatar out of Atlee-Vijai combo, then it's you whom to be blamed...

Mr BR i go for movies to be entertained and i got it when i watch bigil...and if i want to watch a perfect movie then watch iran or bengali movies
Its actually a contradiction. Apparently its supposed to display women empowerment but as usual on the other hand they portray women in a negative shade. What was the purpose of showing Nayandra as making her getting married a couple of times. That is simply unrealistic and borderline making fun of women's decision making.
Mass masala template boss! Don't ask questions - that's what this video is all about.

Don't u see that you are trying to convince and over-convince us, y bigil is a good movie
But it is a good movie. Screenplay wise yes it could have been better, but it definitely doesnt deserve all the bashing it is getting
First of all. That desperation from BR is unseen one. Definitely there's something behind this stuffed #AskBR session. Just as thought, he picked NKP n Viswasam n equated Bigil to that. Easy convincing technique. Isn't it?
Think BR is more influenced by Vijay n his movies. Doesn't want to talk anything real, which means negative. Though it prevails all over d movie starting from d opening College scene n d buildup at d end. BR pls change n b original. Talk reality abt some NONSENSE movie of any star that's y v come to ur channel. Don't alter ur views jus to play for d music. Where has all ur rational thinking gone.
Why u all r so concerned about BR liking a Vijay movie?? Might be he went with low expectations but ended up liking the movie.. Same happened for viswasam.. All u r reactions are over the top to be frank.. U tell me u r best movie which worked for u.. I can find 100 flaws in it..

U r correct, people just need a non mass hero, but at the end of the day, kamal haasan is out of the industry 😢
BR trying very hard and difficult to convince that Bigil worked for him . Most of the questions were against his reviews. I feel that proves this movie was so unentertaining with predictable scenes.
I also thought like that but I think he is genuine. He only cares about 2 things: screen play and character arc. I now get why he liked bigil and viswasam
BR is useless when it comes to commercial movie. Especially Vijay type of movies where nothing new will be tried in any way. . He will talk about negatives of kaidhi. But will talk as if bigil is a classic without any flaws. Foolish.

Good even chek de is also like that.
u really understood vision of the direcor
To me Kaappan was much more engaging movie than Bigil. Even though i disliked both films.
At the end of the cinema is a entertaining medium n business.. Bigil is gud at both...it's financially big success that is wat producers n distributors want..thats where Vijay is best at.....n more over the film couldn't able to give this big success of it is not received by audience..... actually it is received more by family audience....they will come to social media or platforms to say that they liked the movie ,it only shows in collections...
Loved Unflinching BR sir's counter arguments. I do felt the same. Bigil is far more engaging than its counterpart.
Very disappointing and very preachy..... until bigil character comes to the scene these girls doesn't know what's the life is. In this smartphone era...do we need someone to motivate!!!! I don't see any logic!!!! don't know why br sir is defending the movie instead of discussing the mistakes... i am fan of br sir's reviews !!!!!
Kaala is a good example of having a good villain
You say you have a problem with 'heroes going and beating up 100 people randomly with some manufactured situation'. Well, the final fight in Bigil is manufactured. You bring back Daniel Balaji, make him kidnap a girl, give Vijay a cocaine shot, and Vijay in the cocaine-induced stupor manages to beat up ( i didn't count) many guys and deliver a sermon which changes Daniel Balaji's outlook towards life. You didn't find that situation manufactured? Also think that Jackie Shroff is shown to be going and meeting Daniel Balaji and hiring him to do it. How SHroff knows about Balaji and his rivalry with Vijay is also a question. But, since you have forgiven everything because of the 'hero template', I guess we'll just let it pass.
Acid victim scene is the best scene in the whole movie..
You people are clearly forgetting about the what and why cinema is meant for(they need to provide entertainment)
You should do this for khaithi instead of doing for routine bigil
One of the best episodes of Ask BR. After watching this, now I’m wondering that the movie was actually better than I thought it was.
Still, Mersal was better! 😜
Mersal better ha??? 😂😂😂
Do u like Nayanthara's role and the romantic portions in the movie.. the love proposal n acceptance scene in particular that had no life at all
That is acceptable with a mass masla format. In fact, every flaw in this movie is acceptable because it is in the mass masala template.
@@cricofando-3954 Cricofando - I am a fan of Vijay since childhood and I loved romantic scenes of Raja Rani, Theri and Mersal.. with all such expectation frm Atlee I couldn't accept.. Rayappan was awesome ... Micheal was splendind.. but I didn't like Bigil particularly with that Bairavaa wig plsssss... Daniel balaji in 2nd half with his kid settled in Delhi to kill Michael was unacceptable,,, TBH Thalaivaa + Chakde India modified incomplete version is Bigil.. better thN Sarkar bt nt better thN Mersal n Theri
@@VinodKumar-mj5nm Bigil is not a bad movie by any standards. Just feel that a great opportunity to make a memorable film was lost because Atlee wanted to cram in fights in the second half. There wuld have been no shame in making an official remake of Chake De even!
@@cricofando-3954 2nd half as 1st half.. 1st half as flash back in 2nd half,, with climax as it is with more coverage on football rather than in the air kicks and mere goals package... wouldn't be better???
@@VinodKumar-mj5nm Yes surely! I agree with more football. But, second half as first half and then flashback is too much of a cliche - done to death, especially when the flashback is a don story!
Reviewer Review needs to be directly proportional to People....Please dont watch movie with Special lens
I found BR sir
You are wearing Pillingow shirt poo pota sattai
Sports showed more commercial in bigil..Atlee have good direction and movie making skills but he have to concentrate more on writting or screenplay thats why atlee movies not really get appreciate critically..if we still encourage we will not get really good movie from atlee
Why you are doing this on behalf of Bigil movie makers? I hope you are not part of the making of this movie.
Athaane!
Bigil is B Grade mixture of Devar magan and Chak de
'Illogical nature is the part of the kind of this film'!! lol. Please remember this in all future reviews. Don't pan any movie for logic anymore - never!
Take out Nayanthara or even the Physiotherapist character from the film and yet nobody will miss it. There is not even a reason for how Angel & Michael fell for each other. And yet u find Kajal & Samantha characters useless in Mersal. Time to return that Award of urs
There are so many illogical and flawed scenes in the screenplay, from the start of the movie:
1) In the mens tournament itself, Tamilnadu team plays the final with Manipur team and wins the Tournament Cup. I assume its somewhat like Ranji trophy for state level competition. Young Vijay comes home with the cup already and yet Father Vijay keeps saying "cup mukiyam". When he has already won the state level tournament cup for tamilnadu, why is the whole team going to Delhi? another state level competition? duh!
2) After Father Vijay speaks to Jackie Shroff, he comes out and says all your names will be in the list, if this is national team selection how can they put whole teams name in the list?
3) Bigil such a popular player and yet the women football team knows nothing about him. Let alone the elderly from Tamilnadu Footbal Asso. also does not know about bigil until Kathir tell him. Rubbish.
4) Young Vijay becomes the coach but thats not it, he becomes chief selector and goes on to select 2 players on his own will in the middle of the tournament, a nobody to numero uno of TM Football Asso.
5) The football team has already travelled to Delhi for tournament and a physiotherapist must have been with them already even when kathir was coach, now all of sudden when Vijay is coach , Nayanthara replaces the existing physiotherapist. Intentionally forced.
6) Two players who did not play football for last 3-4 years and yet they come into the Tamil nadu team without any fitness and recent form.
7) Unnecessary extras, especially a good actor like Anandaraj being wasted standing silently most of the time.
8) They say its women empowerment movie and yet Young Vijay tells Nayanthara "give me cup after 10 days but accompany me till then" and then later in the movie he goes on ridicule a player's physique and called it motivation.
9) In the final match, when vijay walks into dressing room, everyone had expected a proper motivational speech but NO, the director messes up, instead ridicules players and calls it motivational speech.
10) The final moments are completely copied from Chak De India and if you tell this to atlee, you what Atlee gonna say which he has said before when accused of plagiarism.
With so many flaws, one cannot claim it to be a good movie, film making and screenplay was totally ordinary which BR is completely ignoring.
If you watch carefully the cup he wins in Tamil Nadu is the man of the match cup. If you could recall it.
really disappointed with you #ASKBR..no negatives??..anandharaj didnt have scenes and why micheal's ka is not reveled of her character!..how that girls didnt recognize the bigil was a national player??
If I understand correctly you are saying this kuppa is better than all the other kuppais Atlee and Vijay have done together before. But like you always say we have to judge the movie about how well it achieved what it set out to do.
Well this movie was supposed to be a women centric film according to how their marketed the film. Which wasn't the case. It's so idiotic to see Vijay spoon feeding them upto the last penalty kick of the movie. No way this film has achieved what it wanted to. So definitely disappointed with your review.
Seems like BR liked Atlee's screenplay in this movie. Vijay should do other kind of films for a complete actor, which Vijay Sethupathi, Kamal Haasan, Madhavan, Arya, Dhanush, etc.. have done. RomCom, Thriller, Drama, Mass movies. Same for Ajith too. Attu Lee has got presentation skills and marks. VFX was awful. At the end of the day, another cliché film, for Vijay's fans only and fans of Masala movies.
ARR???
Singapenne-Women/Feminist audience
Verithanam-Pullingo/Boy gang audience
Unakaga-That couple audience
Conclusion- I love Sambar, but I wont eat it everyday.
All super stars have to be Dada or gang leader. It's unfortunate. Let someone change this and make a different kind of super star movie.
All song dance and fights and hero worship was done away with the first half? The second half has 2 fights, one 'mass' scene in the police station, and 2 credits scenes - all for the hero only. Did u sleep through those portions? And, in your Kappaan review, you had taken specific umbrage to the way the SPG commandos operated while protecting the PM. You had problems with how they were reacting to crises etc.. And here in Bigil, you have no problem with the coach becoming the ad hoc team selector, appointing some random person as the physio and team staff as per his whims, and bringing in two players from the cold straight into a tournament with no fitness schedule. You forgive all this under the excuse that this is a 'mass' movie and we have to expect this when hero-centric movies are made. Even Kaappan was a mass hero-centric movie. WHy didn't you allow the same leeway for Kaappan?
hope you could interview atlee after this
Do #HiddenDetails in #Zhagaram Movie
BR is a v biased reviewer in my opinion. I believe people just watch the opinions of these so called reviewers to just pass on the time and no one gives a damn about their reviews. If they had, then Super Deluxe would have been the biggest hit of the year and Petta, Viswasam,NVP, Bigil, Kanchana3 would have been disaster.
I didn't like the movie at all .It just glorified vijay in all the possible ways .It is ok in an ordinary movie but in a A
movie which they say is about women empowerment they rarely show women taking decisions on their own . Everything they ever did was to follow Vijay's instructions . How can a huge star like vijay agree to body shaming ?If Atlee had given this scene Vijay should have told that he will not do so. Or did he not find body shaming wrong? How will he fell if he is body shamed .Does he think he is like Hrithik Roshan ?
Kalpathi kaasu nalla velai seiyudhu..! 😂
Hypocrite#1
Just because he did not like viswasam you are telling this...anyway person like you are the one who controls women upcoming in society...way to go bro...dont call yourself a man you are worst than an animal
Ahhh..! How cute!! 🤩🤩
motta mandaya ne first football parturikiya ?? ethachum football tricks and formation iruka??
Movies don't need to be made over some group empowerments
