The movie is pretty bad. Lackluster animation, poor voice lip syncing, the lack of colorful characters and atmosphere. There are redeeming qualities though. Even though the animation wasn't great there were some parts that really looked good. So when it suddenly becomes good for a short time and then switch back to being poor you could really see the difference. The costumes did look pretty good. The animation on it along with the vibrant and colorful look was pretty impressive. I don't understand why they couldn't have done the same for the background environment. It just looked so empty and dull. Only during the song sequences did it change to more colorful and appealing to the eyes. I know the budget was limited but I feel like they could have done lot better than this with 125 crore.
Even though the graphics didn't impress much but the facial motion capture was pretty good up to a certain point. It wasn't really that grand but it did what it was supposed to do. However it was only really evident in certain people. Not sure what was going on there. It didn't really feel like a motion caption at work on Rajini but it was evident on Nasar.
Fine let's forget about the technical aspect of it; the story and the screenplay was a really big let down. It was not engaging at all. I could guess every scene before it happened. Every scene has been done before in other masala movies but in different settings. No real character development or character arcs. Some characters just come and go. What's the point of Sarath's character and the whole side plot with him. That went nowhere. We don't even see him after that little scene. Although I gotta say, that was a one badass princess but unfortunately she did nothing else after that first fight. she became just a little plot convenience afterward.
I am sorry for being so negative but I really wanted this movie to be good. That's what frustrates me. I hope they don't give up on these type of movies after this though. They just need to find a way to improve on this and maybe focus on the characters and story as much as they focus on the technical parts of it.
