Critic Reviews
Master (2021) Review: Professor vs Gangster, Pandemic-Era Voltage
★★★½☆
Lokesh Kanagaraj pits Thalapathy Vijay against Vijay Sethupathi in a juvenile-home crime saga — the theatrical event that kept Tamil mass cinema loud during the pandemic.
Strongly recommended for the star clash — baggy as a crime film, electric as an event.
