Review of film MASTER |
Unlike director Lokesh Kanagaraj`s previous hits with actor Vijay, like the nail-biter Maanagaram or the pacy thriller like Kaithi, his latest offering MASTER is the funniest, enjoyable and good-looking movie that actor Vijay has done after a long time. Lokesh had promised a Vijay film which would be very different from movies that Vijay usually does. And yes, he delivered on the promise. After a long gap, Vijay has played a nuanced character with qualities that don`t comply with the definition of a “complete man”. He plays John Durairaj, an unruly professor at a popular college in Chennai. He is adored by students, and that makes him enemy no 1 of the old guard in the management. He is a professor of psychology, who teaches focus as a subject. A quality that he lacks in his life. His greatest flaw is he has no focus, and he doesn`t pay heed to what people tell him. He hears but never listens. He doesn`t do what he preaches. He`s deeply flawed. And that is what makes MASTER stand out from recent Vijay movies. Lokesh Kanagaraj, who has co-written the film with Rathna Kumar and Pon Parthibhan, also knows by heart the best moves of Vijay. And he has supplied a generous amount of moments that would meet the approval of hardcore Vijay fans.
