In ‘Thirupaachi’, Vijay lands up in Chennai & there unexpectedly he has to face some villains. And the age-old hero-villain clash begins. Vijay Sethupathi is in control of that home & he exploits the kids there for his evil designs. For some reasons, he is forced to go to an observation home/juvenile home as a teacher for 3 months. In ‘Master’, Vijay is a carefree individual who is a popular professor among the college students. Lokesh almost takes us back to these times (while still being relevant to the present). Especially the Atlee & Murugadoss movies began to make us feel nostalgic about the good old Gilli, Thirupaachi, Madura phase of Vijay. In the last few years, Vijay has been doing too much larger than life stories which many of us felt were so cringe. In this article, I will try to explore how Lokesh has significantly altered the nature of a Vijay movie while still retaining all the elements that his stardom demands. But, if we place ‘Master’ in the ‘Vijay movies’ universe & Tamil movies in general, Lokesh has delivered something very brilliant. However, in the next few days, I slowly realised that the movie might be average if it is seen individually. But, except the Vijay Sethupathi moments, the second half was very uninteresting to me.

I went to watch with the hope that the initial feedback was false. The initial feedback about the movie was it is just average. I was able to watch the movie on the 3 rd day. Then, corona happened & after a lonnnnngggg time, the movie finally came out for Pongal. But, it was the terrific album by Anirudh which generated a heavy interest in me. It was not because of Lokesh Kanakaraj or Vijay.

I was eagerly waiting for the ‘Master’ movie since a long time.
