Verdict:

The director PA Ranjith has come up with yet another realistic subject that is about the fight between the oppressed and the land mafia. This exists everywhere, and the director tried to give a shape to it and present it in the cinematic form. The storyline might not excite the audiences, but it is the screenplay that has got some beautiful elements. 

The dialogues are sharp. The action sequences have been exceptional in the movie. The film has everything that it lacks in the film Kabali.

On the whole, the film is not a typical Rajini mark commercial movie but a Rajinikanth's film with PA Ranjith's ideology.
