Dear Lokesh and team, watched Master on Prime. Up there with Ghilli, Pokkiri, Thuppaki and Theri as one of Vijay Anna's best. Bhavani character played by Sethupathi Anna one of the best villain in Indian Cinema. Enjoyed the movie. Pacing could have been better. Waiting for Vikram.

[@சதீஷ்கண்ணன்]

One more detail I liked in Master.. (Spoiler!) JD fight with Bhavani: When JD misses one of punch from Bhavani, the time JD realizes he cannot defeat Bhavani with his physical strength (though he has more anger/vengeance for killed kids/friends). The repeated and continuous hitting from JD after that says it, as he don't want Bhavani to take any small advantage to use his strength. Little later when it actually happened and he has to trick Bhavani to finish the job. The Evilness and Strength is built deep into Bhavani's character and one cannot defeat it on straight. Well written aspect for Bhavani character (took cues from Raavanan) 👏🏼👍🏼💐

[@vigneshwaranloganathan6513]

THATS WHEN BHAVANI TRIES TI HIT JD AND THAT PUNCH ENDS UP IN PIERCING THROUGH THE MEAT WHEN JD VIEW THE HOLE IN THAT MEAT IN A CLOSEUP SHOT RIGHT?

[@சதீஷ்கண்ணன்]

@@vigneshwaranloganathan6513 Yes.. (Also) Later JD tries to cover Bhavani's right hand where he sees the utmost power comes from.. But from there JD let Bhavani off the hook and finally the inevitable "finish the job" comes.. 😋

Whatever they say ....my opinion I ever had seen a Vijay movie like master... I really enjoyed the movie...vera level vera level💯💯🤩🤩

[@sreerams1466]

My very first thought after watching master is that Lokesh has to join with Thalapathy once again and show his cent percent kadhai thiraikadhai vasanam iyakkam!!!

[@akash.fit.anand.]

Justification for polakattum parara.. BR was jawdropping on the other side. Lokesh is a damn genius.

He tried to sacrifice some things for a commercial hero and also he sacrificed some commercial elements for his narration At the end it’s a decent movie with some thumping background score and visuals and performances

Tbh this guy Loki is something else. I've gotten so much into him and his works lately that he has become my recent crush. The way he explains and accepts the flaws will and must take him to greater places. Expecting many more HITS from him and kudos to everything he has done till date.

[@imthirun]

It's always a balance between this or that and there will be compromises. Whatever was the critisism for the film, I'm sure the director knew it but decide to move on despite the issues because for him it was on a low priority.

[@haris7137]

Exactly

I haven't been a huge fan of Vijay's Mass films, with the exception of Gilli , Thupakki and Theri. To my pleasant surprise I truly enjoyed Master, I'm glad it stayed a Lokesh Kanagaraj film above all else. I found myself laughing at the puns and irony interlaced in the script, whether the 'I'm waiting" dialogue or gillie's BGM. Truly is a trendsetter . It's the first time I saw Vijay breakdown and cry and see a shaded, realistic stardom

@@rolphylewis6196 don't be pessimistic brother, Vijay wouldn't have even considered working with Lokesh if that was the case. Good to see that most of the big stars in the Tamil cinema industry experiment more, I'm looking forward to Valimai (Theeran was good , since this is a police story Vinoth will be able to do good) , Vadivaasal (Suriya collaborating with Vetrimaaran, getting to see Suriya's next grounded character after Maara from SP) and the next Vijay-Lokesh movie (Lokesh is a man of his word)

[@rolphylewis6196]

@@aamil360 u know what, over the years, Vijay has created that reputation of being a top commercial star more than being a versatile actor. Do u think his fans will accept it if he fully devotes to showcase himself as an actor (in any upcoming movie with full directorial freedom) and not rely on his star image too much? As far as I know, a big percentage of Vijay fans only want to see him as a stylish, Godlike figure on screen. I would like to know your opinion on this one. Correct me if i m wrong somewhere.

[@aamil360]

@@rolphylewis6196 most of the comments and a lot of fans discussing about the Thalapathy 66 rumours would answer your questions, most fans want to see another movie with Lokesh (from many recent Twitter discussions and polls).
