Review states that the film “begins on a rather uneven note, and lacks any essence for roughly 40 minutes.” It also states, “There’s a lack of direction, and the adorable girl in charge of her dad makes no difference. Atlee, who previously directed Jawan and Theri, is in charge of the story this time.
The hero assuming a dual role appears to be his preference. He performed similarly with Shah Rukh Khan in Jawan. Oh, another thing he enjoys is the pigeons. He enjoys utilizing them to generate a flutter, quite literally. Copied from Jawan here. There's additionally a social message included for added effect.
