    Dragon roars loud, coming against early criticisms and hatred.

    The movie was labelled as "Don 2" after the trailer release, yet the immense maturity and skill of the director does place a tight slap on the face of such allegations.

    While the best part of the movie is casting choices and writing, other aspects like acting, soundtrack and cinematography too come together aptly, adding glory to this beautiful coming-of-age drama.

    The screenplay did manage to evoke the right emotions at the right time, making this a memorable watch.

    The elements added by writing in terms of relationship dynamics is great but, the writing should have rather focused more on a good, engaging screenplay. Still, the output is a passable flick and indeed a good muyarchi!

    Can't believe people are calling the movie "sleeping pill", "boring" and whatnot after the ott release. I know opinions are subjective and people are entitled to their own, but Tamil audience are the worst man. When GOAT, Maharaja and other action ("violent") movies came out, people were complaining of not getting a light hearted, realistic movie in tamil. But when Vaazhai, Lubber pandhu and Kottukaali came out, they complain of not getting proper "masala" movies. I bet if Vaazhai, Lover,…
