Mixed To Positive Audience Report For Thalapathy Vijay's 'The GOAT'

The GOAT had early morning shows in Telugu states and as per the initial audience reception, the movie is a mixed bag of everything. While the audience has been praising Thalapathy Vijay for playing the dual role of a middle-aged man and a teenage kid, the movie is lacking in other aspects.

It has been observed through audience reception that the direction by Venkat Prabhu is uneven with few dragged scenes in the second half. The background music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is also getting thumbs down from the audience. The screenplay of the film is said to be stretched and it needed someone trimming, especially in the second half.

However, Thalapathy Vijay is once again getting high praise for carrying the film on his shoulder, especially the younger version of his dual role is said to be one of the best in his filmography. As said, the movie does offer a fan service with mixed reception from the general audience.

Thalapathy Vijay, however, proved over the years that he is a critic-proof star as far as box office success is concerned. The GOAT has had excellent pre-sales all over and has opened to houseful boards across Tamil Nadu and many other areas. It is expected to take the opening of 100+ crores gross worldwide, including 50+ crores gross in India.
