Leave it to Thalapathy Vijay to present a film with everything that caters to all kinds of audience. In his third collaboration with Atlee, the filmmaker and actor opted to bring forth a sports drama with impeccable action and emotion. Bigil, Thalapathy Vijay's Diwali gift to fans has been making noise for all the right reasons. The film also stars Nayanthara, Jackie Shroff, Karthik, Yogi Babu and Daniel Balaji in pivotal roles. Having witnessed the first half, I am certain that the movie has a lot more to offer and will be super engaging. Here's what happened in the first half and why we think the film has scope to win hearts in the second half as well.

The movie opens with Michael (Thalapathy Vijay) helping out some college students and standing up against goons and corrupt college officials. After a good fight sequence and a fun few minutes at Nayanthara's 6th wedding (cancelled again), things take a grim turn as Michael and his friend Karthi are attacked by his arch-nemesis. While Michael manages to handle the goons, his friend Karthi gets severely injured. Karthi is the coach of the Indian Women's Football Team who were supposed to head to Delhi for an important league. Sadly, with Karthi's injury, it becomes difficult for him to support his team. The women are obviously miffed with Michael and ask him to leave them be. However, Karthi explains that the only person who can replace him as the coach is Bigil. Bigil Movie Review: Thalapathy Vijay’s Action Drama Is a Mass Entertainer, Say Twitterati.

From then on, there's a nice flashback that explores the story of Rayappan, Michael and the name Bigil. So far the film has fared really well. In terms of direction, action sequences, music and even the performances, everybody has done a fabulous job. Not to mention how Atlee has managed to balance the elements of mass masala with sports drama perfectly! Let's wait and see if the second half does justice to Bigil.
