Despite engaging Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi’s confrontational sequences and their strong performances, ‘Master’ ends not with a bang but with a whimper. It turns out to be a weak effort from the ‘Khaidi’ director Lokesh.

All in all, Master didn’t live up to the expectations and an easily forgettable film for Vijay in Telugu. Except the advantage of Sankranti season, Master will wipe off soon from theaters and pandemic situation is all likely to halt the revenues. If you.

On the whole, ‘Master’ is more of Vijay’s movie than a director’s film. It has style and swag but nothing else.
Bottom-line: All Style, No Substance.

On the whole, Master does not live up to the hype and ends as a passable action entertainer. All those who go in wanting to see the star hero and villain tug of war will be disappointed. But fans of Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi will have a blast as the hero.
