Thalapathy
Vijay's
film
Master,
also
starring
Vijay
Sethupathi,
is
the
first
major
theatrical
release
of
2021
in
Tamil
cinema.
Master
released
in
theatres
today
(January
13),
ahead
of
the
festive
occasion
of
Pongal.
FilmiBeat
film
critic
Shreshtha
Chaudhury
is
watching
Master
in
a
theatre
right
now,
and
she
can't
get
over
the
high-voltage
energy
in
the
film.
Here's
what
she
has
to
say
about
Master
in
its
first
half.
"In
the
first
half
of
Master,
Thalapathy
Vijay
and
Vijay
Sethupathi's
high-voltage
energy
and
screen
presence
leave
you
wanting
for
more.
The
power-packed
action
sequences,
the
gripping
storyline
and
the
intense
performances
make
you
root
for
Master!"
We
are
sure
the
audiences
are
going
crazy
watching
this
film,
with
the
box
office
of
Master
looking
strong
even
in
these
times,
when
most
films
are
being
released
digitally
on
over-the-top
(OTT)
platforms
before
their
theatrical
release.
In
Master,
Thalapathy
as
John
Durairaj
aka
JD
plays
the
role
of
a
young
professor,
who
is
addicted
to
alcohol
and
is
sent
to
a
juvenile
home,
to
teach
children
for
a
couple
of
months.
His
clash
with
a
deadly
gangster
(Vijay
Sethupathi)
is
the
crux
of
the
film,
as
the
latter,
who
owns
the
juvenile
home
uses
children
for
illegal
activities.
Vijay
and
Vijay
Sethupathi's
impeccable
acting
chops
and
whistle
worthy
dialogues
along
with
high-octane
action
sequences
are
some
of
the
major
highlights
of
Master.
Notably,
the
makers
of
the
film
are
expecting
to
mint
a
net
collection
of
Rs
40
crore+
from
its
Day
1
theatrical
run.
