Why
You
Should
Watch
It!
The
expectations
from
The
Villain
were
high.
But
the
film
failed
to
impress
the
viewers.
To
know
why,
you
ought
to
watch
the
movie.
Also,
for
the
first
time
ever,
two
of
the
biggest
stars,
Sudeep
and
Shivrajkumar
came
together
for
a
film.
This
makes

another
reason
to
not
miss
The
Villain.
