GOAT Movie Review
GOAT Movie traces the journey of Gandhi, played by Vijay, a retired RAW agent whose areas of expertise included espionage and hostage negotiation. The baggage of his past caught up with him, and he is forced to return to active duty and make amends for certain decisions he had made in his younger days. The sci-fi element instilled into the film added to the action-filled plot. In the movie, Vijay plays a double role-Gandhi and Jeeva-giving fans their money’s worth of his on-screen charm.
As the movie hit the theatres today, GOAT Movie reviews are coming in as floods on social media. Fans have made special mentions about the performance of Vijay, who brings energy and emotional depth in the role, delivering dialogues that are captivating enough to hold one spellbound. Although a few critics have mentioned that the movie relied too much on twists and character development, the first half has been termed engaging and full of unexpected surprises.
The release of the GOAT Movie saw fans celebrating in copious amounts as die-hard fans lined up in front of theatres as early as 4 am in the morning to catch its first show. The premiere screenings across Tamil Nadu turned out to be festive as fans celebrated in praise of Vijay’s charisma and larger-than-life persona.
Advance Bookings and Box Office Projection of GOAT Movie
This was evident in the advance booking of GOAT, as it netted Rs 19 crore already before the release in advance booking. Of this, Tamil Nadu alone accounted for over Rs 12 crore. The overseas booking is promising, too, as the film became the first South Indian feature to get on London’s Leicester Square Screen.
The prospects at the box office are not any less encouraging. If Kamal Haasan’s “Indian 2” set a bar by collecting Rs. 26 crore on the first day, trade analysts predict that GOAT will go ahead and collect nothing less than Rs. 40 crore on its first day. Vijay’s last outing was Leo in 2023, which was a blockbuster that amassed Rs. 148.5 crore worldwide on the first day, hence raising expectations for GOAT.
With high stakes both in and out of the theatre, GOAT has systematically positioned itself as one of the grandest releases of 2024. Merging star power courtesy of Vijay, an envious ensemble cast, a engaging plot line, and a humongous production budget, the film is bound to be a treat for both action and sci-fi fans. If first reactions are anything to go by, GOAT may just live up to its title — Greatest of All Time
