Master movie review: what critics say (14)
What critics say Critics are mostly positive with reservations: 3 of 11 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more.
As much as I like both Vijays, I think the movie itself didn’t live up to the hype. It was a decent movie but there was much they could have improved on.
Read the full reviewUltimately, Master is a different Vijay film as well as a different Lokesh film. Thalapathy just keeps growing from strength to strength while Lokesh leaves his mark in the mass hero genre too.
Read the full reviewThere are ample amounts of Thalapathy moments and it is uplifted by him to a large extent. But as a complete film, you may or may not be satisfied.
Read the full reviewThe films biggest failing, though, is that of Lokesh Kanagaraj. A filmmaker who had a unique voice €” in both Managaram (2017) and Kaithi (2019) €” finds himself meddled in a volatile hero-vehicle.
Read the full reviewMany of the star events in Master are cleverer than in your average mass film and do cause adrenaline surges — but what do they come at the expense of?
Read the full reviewThe drama that unfolded before the release of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Master is meatier than the almost three-hour-long Pongal nightmare.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
