Bigil movie review: Vijay shines in Atlee's adrenaline pumping commercial entertainer tailor-made for the actor's fans

Firstpost  

Vijay’s Bigil, directed by Atlee, is an adrenaline pumping mass entertainer, with a message on women empowerment and football used as a motivational tool. The story follows the basic sports template film, about a disgraced coach Miachel Rayappan pulling together a football team of women that lack motivation and drive to do the impossible. Bigil is basically a commerical film that tries to fit in Vijay’s superstar image, and Atlee does a decent job with tailor made fan moments. Bigil is one of Vijay’s best films in recent times and he has shined in a difficult dual role, especially as the old man Rayappan with a stammer and gruffness in his voice.
