Beast is a 2022 Indian Tamil-language action comedy film[5] written and directed by Nelson and produced by Sun Pictures. The film stars Vijay and Pooja Hegde, while Selvaraghavan, Shine Tom Chacko, Yogi Babu and Redin Kingsley play supporting roles. It revolves around an ex-RAW agent's crusade to rescue people held hostage in a shopping mall by terrorists.

The production rights of Vijay's 65th film as lead actor, which was tentatively titled Thalapathy 65, were acquired by Sun Pictures in early January 2020, and the film was set to be written and directed by AR Murugadoss. However, the producers ousted Murugadoss from the film in October 2020, after he refused to cut his renumeration. Nelson was later hired, and wrote a new script for the film.

With an official announcement during December 2020, the film began principal photography in April 2021, and wrapped that December. It was shot across various locations in Chennai, including a specially designed set resembling that of a shopping mall where most of the film was shot, whilst sporadic schedules took place in Delhi and Georgia. The music was composed by Anirudh, cinematography was handled by Manoj Paramahamsa, editing by R. Nirmal and production design supervised by D. R. K. Kiran, respectively.

Beast was released in theatres on 13 April 2022 before KGF: Chapter 2 which released on 14 April 2022. The film received mixed reviews from critics with praise towards the cast performances, soundtrack, background score and stylized action sequences but criticism for its uneven writing, direction and dark humor[6]

Plot

Veera Raghavan, an Indian RAW agent is assigned to capture the terrorist Umar Farooq. While he successfully manages to do so, a missile shot by him to prevent Farooq's escape injures and kills a civilian child, traumatising Veera, who quits RAW.

Months later, Veera is still reeling from the after-effects of the child's death. He meets Preethi at a wedding, and they fall in love. Preethi convinces him to join her company 'Dominic & Soldiers,' a failing security service. Meanwhile, the Tamil Nadu government gets intel that a major terrorist event is planned in Chennai.

Along with Preethi and her boss, Veera visits the East Coast mall, their last client. Veera observes a series of suspicious activities in the mall and deduces that someone else has taken over it. He is proven right, as terrorists dressed as Santa Claus open fire and hijack the mall. Veera, Preethi, and a few others hide unharmed inside an unopened restaurant.

The Government, led by Althaf Hussain, an ex-associate of Veera, try to negotiate with the terrorists, who demand the release of Umar Farooq. Althaf comes to know that Veera is also trapped inside the mall, and he manages to establish contact with him. Althaf tries to convince Veera to help them. Veera, initially hesitant, gets convinced when he realises that the terrorists are here for Umar Farooq. He kills one of the terrorists, captures another one alive, and brings him to their hideout. He manages to infiltrate the terrorists and eliminates a few of them.

The Home Minister, who is in league with the terrorists, gets them to stage the execution of his wife and daughter, who are also in the the mall, on live TV. The government succumbs to this and agrees to release Farooq. Enraged, Veera retaliates and kidnaps the home minister's wife and daughter and, pretending to be a Bangladeshi militant to confuse the terrorists, threatens to kill them if Farooq is released.

The leader of the terrorists, Umar Saif, senses his impending defeat and seemingly gives up, only to slip among the crowd pretending to be a hostage. He soon figures out Veera's real identity and forces him and his aides to give up and captures all of them. With the help of the Home Minister's daughter, Veera managers to escape, and he eliminates all the terrorists while making sure the hostages escape to safety. The Home Minister is arrested for his involvement with the terrorists.

Meanwhile, amid all the negotiation, Umar Farooq was let go. A few months later, Veera finds and captures him in Pakistan and after surviving a long air chase, manages to bring him back to India to have him arrested. Veera, Preethi and the rest of his crew celebrate their escapades in Goa.

Cast

Additionally, director Nelson, music composer Anirudh and choreographer Jani appear in cameo appearances as themselves in the song "Jolly O Gymkhana".

Production

Development

In January 2020, during the production of Master (2021), Vijay reportedly signed for his next project backed by Kalanithi Maran's Sun Pictures, collaborating with them after Vettaikaran (2009), Sura (2010) and Sarkar (2018).[8][9] While Magizh Thirumeni,[10] S. Shankar,[11] Sudha Kongara,[12] Pandiraj,[13] R. Ajay Gnanamuthu and Vetrimaaran were initially reported to direct the film,[14] in March 2020, a source claimed that AR Murugadoss had planned to direct Vijay in the tentatively titled Thalapathy 65 (Vijay's 65th film as lead actor).[15] The project was reported to enter production by late April 2020, which did not happen.[16] S. Thaman was finalised to compose the music in May 2020, in what would have been his first collaboration with Vijay.[17] In August 2020, Tamannaah was approached to be the lead actress, collaborating with Vijay after ten years since Sura.[18] The script was reported to have Vijay in dual roles.[19]

Murugadoss narrated the final script to Vijay in early August 2020.[20] Following his approval, the team reported in mid-August 2020 that Thalapathy 65 will enter production soon,[21] with an official announcement on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi (22 August 2020), which did not happen.[22] In an interview, Murugadoss stated that the script was not a sequel to any of his previous films, but an original one.[23] The team further brought the stunt choreographer duo Anbariv on board, which marked their first collaboration with Vijay,[24] and screenwriter R. Selvaraj also joined the project in August 2020.[25] Manoj Paramahamsa was announced as the cinematographer in September 2020.[26]

Vijay was initially said to receive ₹100 crore as a remuneration for the project, but due to the financial constraints owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, he decided to waive off 30% from his salary, thus getting ₹70 crore as remuneration.[27] Maran insisted Murugadoss to reduce his salary post the failure of his previous directorial, Darbar (2020).[28] But as Murugadoss refused his demands, Sun Pictures ousted him from the project in October 2020.[29][30] The producers later planned to bring either S. J. Suryah, Nelson or Magizh Thirumeni on board to direct the project, with Nelson being insisted by composer Anirudh, who worked with Vijay in Master, to direct the film.[31][32]

Pre-production

"Beast was written with Vijay sir in mind. We know his stature and what he can do well. I took up an idea that needed all that. And then I tried to do something different within that. It was convincing to sir and it also worked for me. So I didn't purposefully change something for him. Only he can do this film."

 – Nelson, in an interview with film critic Baradwaj Rangan[33]

On 10 December 2020, Sun Pictures announced that Thalapathy 65 will be directed by Nelson,[34][35] and Anirudh was also brought on board to score music;[36] this project marks his third collaboration with Vijay and Nelson after their respective films, Kaththi (2014), Kolamaavu Kokila (2018) and Doctor (2021).[37] Manoj and Anbariv who were part of Murugadoss' proposed project with Vijay were retained for this film.[38] R. Nirmal, who worked with Nelson in Kolamaavu Kokila and Doctor was announced as the film editor, while D. R. K. Kiran handled the production design for this film.[39] Anbariv said that the film would have "extraordinary" stunt sequences similar to those in K.G.F: Chapter 1 (2018).[40]

Nelson had parallelly worked on the film's script along with the post-production works of Doctor as the final script was to be drafted.[41] During that period, he simultaneously began location scouting for the film and shared a few pictures from Russia through his Instagram page.[42] Vijay was reported to play a "sharp and humorous" character.[43] While the film was launched under the tentative title Thalapathy 65, the film's title Beast was announced on 21 June 2021,[44][45] on the eve of Vijay's birthday.[46]

In October 2021, Sivakarthikeyan, who worked in Nelson's Doctor, revealed the plot during the film's promotions, saying that the film is centred on gold-smuggling.[47][48] However, a Diwali edition published in November by the magazine Ananda Vikatan revealed that the story is a sub-plot; the main plot revolves around an invasion taking place in a shopping mall, where terrorists hold a bunch of shoppers hostage, and how the protagonist saves them.[49][50] Most of the events take place in the mall. While primarily in the action genre, the film also features elements of black comedy and synchronised comical characters, usually seen in the director's films.[51][52] Nelson described Beast as "60 percent action and 40 percent humour", while acknowledging Pokkiri (2007) as an influence on the film.[5]

Casting

Pooja Hegde was cast as the lead actress, making her return to Tamil cinema after Mugamoodi (2012).

Vijay portrays Veera Raghavan, a RAW agent.[53] Nelson compared him to the characters James Bond and John Wick.[5] In January 2021, Pooja Hegde was reported to be the lead actress,[54] and hinted her inclusion in an interview in February 2021.[55] Her inclusion was confirmed by Sun Pictures on 24 March 2021.[56] The film marks her return to Tamil cinema after a decade, following her debut in the film industry with Mugamoodi (2012).[57] Hegde allotted 50 days for Beast,[58] and a remuneration of ₹3.5 crore was offered to her.[59] After reports emerged that the team was planning to cast a second female lead,[60] they denied this, stating there was no room for more leading actors in the film and the script did not demand for it.[61] Hegde said the film properly combines the filmmaking style of Nelson, and the acting style of Vijay.[62] Nelson said he wanted an actress who could match Vijay's height and decided on Hedge, then fresh off from the success of the Telugu film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo (2020).[63]

In March 2021, VTV Ganesh and Kavin were announced as being a part of the cast after being present in the launch event.[64] Kavin denied being part of the cast,[65] but said three months later that he was working as an assistant director.[66] Malayalam actress Aparna Das confirmed her presence in the project in April.[67] In May 2021, Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko was approached for a prominent role in the film, making his Tamil debut.[68][69] Yogi Babu confirmed his presence in the project in June, collaborating with Vijay for the fifth time after Velayudham (2011), Mersal (2017), Sarkar (2018) and Bigil (2019).[70] On 7 August 2021, Sun Pictures announced that Selvaraghavan would be acting in the film.[71][72] Lilliput and Ankur Ajit Vikal were also announced as a part of the cast on the same day.[73] Nelson said he wanted a relatively new face for a certain role, and Selvaraghavan immediately accepted when approached.[63] The film is Selvaraghavan's debut as an actor.[74]

Choreographer-cum-actor Sathish Krishnan joined the film's cast during the second schedule.[75] The film was reported to have three antagonists.[76] On 25 August, Smruthi, Janani Durga, Madhuri Watts and Hasini Pavithra were cast in undisclosed roles.[77] On 1 October, Ananda Vikatan reported that Shaji Chen would play an important role in the film.[78] In mid-October, it was reported that Sujatha Babu, who works as television reporter in Sun News channel, will be seen as Vijay's mother in the film.[79] Redin Kingsley, a regular in Nelson's films, joined in the same month.[80] On 28 November, Nelson released a behind-the-scenes still confirming the involvements of singer-songwriter Bjorn Surrao, Sunil Reddy and Shiva Arvind in the film, all three of whom worked in the director's previous film Doctor.[81]

Filming

Part of the film was shot at Tbilisi, Georgia[82]

A test shoot for Thalapathy 65, held on 10 February 2021 at the office of Sun TV Network in Chennai.[83] On 31 March 2021, the film was launched at Sun TV Studios,[84] with a formal puja ceremony.[85] However, Hegde was not present at the launch, due to her busy schedules.[86] After the 2021 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election,[87][88] Vijay and Nelson headed to Georgia for the film's shooting schedule on 7 April 2021.[89][90][82] Sun Pictures released a post from the shooting location on 9 April, revealing that the film entered production.[91] The team shot 30% of the film in Georgia and rest of the shoot in Chennai, because of restrictions due to the second wave of the pandemic.[92] Vijay returned to Chennai on 26 April, after filming in Georgia for 15 days,[93] where an introductory song and few action sequences were shot.[94]

For the second schedule, a huge shopping mall was replicated at the EVP Film City in Chennai since malls were shut in Tamil Nadu owing to COVID-19 restrictions.[95] However, Vijay asked the team to suspend production due to the rise in COVID-19 cases and the state-wide lockdown prevailing in Tamil Nadu.[96][97] The song shoot of the film was scheduled for shoot on mid-May 2021 was also stalled after Hegde was diagnosed with COVID-19.[98] Filming resumed in July 2021,[99] with the second schedule lasting for 20 days.[100] A sequence was filmed at East Coast Road, where Valimai was being shot and a huge set was constructed at the location.[101] Reports also claimed that shooting of the film progressed at Intercontinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort.[102] The team moved to Gokulam Studios for filming major sequences.[103][104] The film's third schedule began in Chennai on 2 August 2021 and went for more than three weeks.[105][106]

The entire schedule was completed on 23 August 2021,[107] and the team continued to shoot the recurring sequences at Gokulam Studios on 1 September 2021,[108][109] before planning to shoot few sequences in Delhi as a part of the fourth schedule.[110] A song sequence being picturised on Vijay and Hegde, choreographed by Jani Master, was shot during the schedule.[111][112] The fourth schedule began in Delhi on 20 September.[113][114] In this schedule, an action sequence choreographed by Anbariv, was shot for five to seven days.[115] The next schedule began in Chennai after 28 September.[116] By late October, reportedly over 70% of filming was complete, and the film is scheduled to wrap up by late-December.[117]

For the climax action sequences, the team planned to shoot the film in Russia,[118] which was later dropped due to the increase of COVID-19 cases in that country.[119] Instead, the team decided to go to Georgia again for the final schedule, to shoot a scene involving a younger version of Vijay's character.[51] According to reports, the team will recreate Kashmir and shoot army based scenes in this schedule.[120] Manoj Paramahamsa purchased a new Tiltamax rig for the shoot in Georgia,[121] which also had an hands-on Red Komodo 6K,[120] and later a RED V-raptor camera was brought so as to shoot the action sequences in high resolution.[122] Thus, Beast became the first Indian film to be shot using RED V-raptor camera.[120] Hegde returned to Chennai to shoot for the film in November 2021.[123] But due to heavy rains in Chennai, the sets were flooded although none of the cast members were hurt.[124] It has been also reported that the interiors in the sets were not damaged due to floods.[124] Filming wrapped on 11 December 2021.[125][126] Vijay also finished dubbing for his character the same month.[127] The team later reunited for patchwork filming.[128]

Reception

Critical response

Beast received mixed reviews from critics.[142][143] Soundarya Athimuthu of The Quint rated the film 3.5/5 stars, saying, "Beast is neither Nelson's film nor Vijay's film. It's good but not the best combination, where Nelson tries to cater more to the Vijay fans and Vijay tries to fit into Nelson's wacky world."[144] Ashameera Aiyappan of Firstpost rated the film 3/5 stars and wrote "Vijay is surrounded by eccentric and flamboyantly funny characters, but as cliches pile up, the irreverent jokes aren't enough to keep this beast alive".[145] Divya Nair of Rediff.com rated the film 3/5 stars and wrote, "Leave logic behind, sit back and watch Vijay do the impossible".[146]

M. Suganth of The Times of India rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote "The director seems to have banked entirely on his star to carry the film, but with a script that hardly offers him anything to work with, even Vijay can only do so much with his star power.[147] Janani K of India Today rated 2.5/5 and wrote "It is Vijay's show all the way and he headlines this clichéd thriller".[148]

Manoj Kumar R. of The Indian Express rated the film 2.5/5 and termed it as "an unapologetic crowd-pleaser and a solid service to Vijay's core fanbase".[149] Umesh Punwani of Koimoi rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote "These roles have become a cake-walk for Vijay, and the problem is we've seen cake-walk too many times now".[150] Srinivasa Ramanujam of The Hindu stated, "Beast is a dull and tedious affair".[151] Sowmya Rajendran of The News Minute rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Nelson tries to be imaginative and break out of cliches but he keeps using the oldest tricks in the book whenever he runs out of ideas".[152] Vivek M V of Deccan Herald rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote "The film's major plot points are silly. Towards the end, the feeling of watching an outdated, one-man show film is inevitable".[153] Haricharan Pudipeddi of Hindustan Times stated, "This Vijay and Pooja Hegde film is a Die Hard-inspired thriller but suffers due to weak writing".[154]

Box office

Beast on its opening day collected ₹26.40 crore from Tamil Nadu, ₹7.83 crore from Hyderabad and Telangana, ₹7.15 crore from Karnataka, ₹6.28 crore from Kerala, ₹1.32 crore from North India and ₹28.2 crore($3.1 million) from outside India to take its worldwide opening day gross to ₹88.67 crore.[155]
