Petta Quick Movie Review: Superstar Rajinikanth is Back and We are Having Fun Watching Him

Can Karthik Subbaraj successfully make Rajinikanth return to his mass masala roots? Petta is releasing today with high hopes from Thalaiva fans that it would make Rajinikanth back as the blockbuster hero. His previous movies like Kavali, Kaala and 2.0. may have been hits but true Rajini fans know that the Boss can deliver bigger blockbusters with ease. Can Petta be that? And helping both Rajinikanth and Subbaraj here is an enviable supporting cast. We are watching Petta right now and we are having a great time enjoying the first half. Petta Trailer: 5 Reasons Why The New Promo Has Made Us Super-Hyped For This Rajinikanth Pongal 2019 Release!.

"Kaali comes to a college in a hill station as their temporary hostel warden. First, he gets rid of all the ragging hooligans from the hostel, before making things right for the students there, from their food to discipline. He also helps a young couple in their romance while also having his own love story with the girl's mother. However, it is easy to deduce that he has a dark history, and soon we realise that it has a connection to one of the students there. And also with two mobsters that are now settled in Uttar Pradesh. Petta: A Stylish Rajinikanth is Pure Marana Mass In This New Promo Video.

The first half of Petta is really long, but Karthik Subbaraj has peppered the narrative with enough mass, fun moments that you really don't get bored. He has made fine use of Rajinikanth's superstar persona giving us many moments to cheer. It has been some time that I saw Rajinikanth looking to have fun with his role, Kaala coming a close second before it went all political. The rest of the cast, including Vijay Sethupathi, Bobby Simha and Simran Bagga, are okay in being relegated to the sidelines as they let Thalaiva do his inimitable swagger, though they have their moments. The interval point arrives when we are finally going to see what Kaali's history is and what it has got to do with. Nawazuddin Siddiqui's ailing gangster, Singaar Singh."
