It is third time lucky for us, the viewers, in case of this Vijay-Atlee combo.
Director Atlee presents a decent entertainer which mines the charisma of the star to a large extent.
Bigil also benefits from the fact that the entire movie and the semblance of a story is not entirely buried under the build-up for the star.
In Bigil, Atlee places his star Vijay shining bright at the center of the universe with the plot itself and the subplots merrily orbiting him as minor satellites.
Rahman delivers a rousing anthem and a good score. There is nothing - including the music or performances - that could be counted as superlative in any sense. Still, the entire movie works and doesn't feel like a tedium despite having a run-time of almost three hours.
The fact that this movie remains largely coherent on a whole does not make you cringe despite its run-time is no minor blessing.
A DECENT ENTERTAINER !
RATING - 3/5
