Why I'm worried for Rajinikanth after watching Vijay's Beast:
Contrary to expectations, beast has not been declared a major hit. Thalaivar Rajinikanth fans were also eager to watch the movie to know what is in store for them with Thalaivar 169. However,
all of them have been disappointed. There are several reasons for the movie going bad. The first reason is the story and it's backdrop. A mass star like Vijay has been made to go around a mall
which appears to be small and the public too not apparently bothered at the Mall being hijacked by terrorists. We, the audience don't feel that the Mall has been hijacked. It seems like a comedy movie. The next one is the audience doesn't feel that the Mall has been hijacked. We, the audience don't feel that we are inside that Mall. For these types of movies to succeed, the audience should feel engaged and they are also in the thick and thin. We also should feel that we have been hijacked. Apparently, the director has failed miserably on that front. It could be due to his capability or due to him being only 3 films old.
Also, the movie sold for over 200 crores, the making costs seem to be cheap. Of course, with the hero and other artists taking a big share of the pie, it leaves very little amount to produce the movie.
Contrast this with KGF 2, which has spent more than 100 crores on the movie itself. The other reason is that even though the songs have become popular they seem to be out of place in a movie where
the people are battling a hijack. The movie also seems to be a repeat of his previous movies with even serious scenes being made comical which may work for Siva karthikeyan and not for Vijay. We expected better stuff from Vijay. Last but not the least reason, this is a movie not for Vijay. Some other lesser known hero might have been sufficient for this type of storey. We therefore are scared as to what is going to happen to Thalaivar 169 with Nelson wielding the megaphone. We hope it has a good Story and enough scope for Thalaiar to show his histrionics. In one way, the failure is good as expectations
would be less for Thalaivar's movie which might work out:). Let's keep our fingers crossed.
