Even other social media users agree with their views and trolled the movie, a user wrote, “When one watches action movies from south or Bollywood, the first thing one needs is to hibernate one’s brain!,” another wrote, “Thalapathy Vijay movies should be seen by only those, Who are die hard fans, Who only sees Tamil movies, Who wants to see the hero and only the hero for max time. Who don’t want acting but gimmick, Lastly who keeps their brains outside. So tred on your own risk,” a third user wrote, “This is so depressing. When Indian military history is so full of true heroes, why does Indian cinema churn out this drivel?” a fourth user commented, “After Bigil, Beast joins the list to spoil his name and fame. It’s high time that Vijay should concentrate more on how the “over the top” nature scenes will be delivered and logical issues in story.”
Not just common citizens, even Vijay’s father had earlier slammed Beast director Nelson Dilipkumar for putting faith in actors’ fame for the film’s success. While interacting with Thanthi TV, he said, “I enjoyed Arabic Kuthu like how a die-hard fan would. But, this is a film that was made solely relying on Vijay’s stardom. Young filmmakers deliver an excellent first film in terms of content, technology and making,” he added, “They think he (the star) already has a huge fan following and his film will run successfully in theatres, so no need for a screenplay and things like that. And they make a movie with a few songs and fights.”
