Due to the coronavirus pandemic, several films releases across industries had to be postponed. The delay happened owing to the shoots stalled or production delay or due to theatres being closed down in the wake of the outbreak. The entertainment industry had a huge hit in 2020. Many filmmakers and producers then decided to release their movies on OTT platforms so that there’s no further loss.

Theatrical Release – Master was initially scheduled to be released in theatres on April 9, 2020. The makers had to postpone the release date due to the lockdown imposed in the wake of coronavirus pandemic. The film, produced under the banner of XB Film Creators, is now all set to be released in theatres on January 13, 2021, a perfect Pongal treat.

Movie Review - Lokesh Kanagaraj's latest, Master, is an unusual movie. It gives a good backstory to the villain, played by Vijay Sethupathi, even dedicating the first fifteen minutes of the film for the same. What's more, Sethupathi's Bhavani is also shown to be a religious person in a secular way, wearing amulets of three different religions, 'cos as he claims, he isn't sure which God can come to his help. On the other hand, the hero, Thalapathy Vijay's JD is a persistent alcoholic. He doesn't come with a backstory, which is anyway explained through one throwaway line and acts often irresponsible. In that way, Master is definitely an unusual movie for its genre.
