Read the full reviewDespite quite a few underwritten characters, Petta triumphs by bringing back the Superstar of yore
Read the full reviewWhat happens in the end is that Rajinkanth's character comes off as the smartest and most opportunistic one but in a good way. I was somehow not too happy with the end. No, I am not giving any spoiler of the film so don't worry.
Read the full reviewPetta is less of a Karthik Subbaraj film, but it gives Rajini fans their Thalaivar in a way that they have been dying to see him, celebrating the Rajinisms.
Read the full reviewIf there's one thing Karthik Subbaraj's "Petta" really succeeds in achieving, it is that it lets superstar Rajinikanth be himself and have fun on-screen.
Read the full reviewKarthik Subbaraj, in an interview, said that after hearing the script of Petta, Rajinikanth told him that only he could pull off this film. And that's every bit true.

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.
