in theaters, the film received favorable reviews from audiences and critics. Many are praising the amazing acting skills of the lead actors, action sequences, Vijay’s whistle-worthy dialogue, songs, and vibrant color designs used in the film.

The beast
directed by Nelson Dilipkumar features Pooja Hegde in the female lead role.
