The Goat – Vijay Thalapathy’s Best Movie?
GOAT Twitter review: Despite some pacing concerns, fans are praising GOAT as one of Vijay’s best performances, with a gripping second half.
The Greatest of All Time, starring Thalapathy Vijay, debuted in theatres on September 5 to tremendous anticipation and jubilation. A large number of fans flocked to movie theatres around the nation to see the movie, and the initial feedback is coming in.
Throughout his tenure, Vijay has executed over 65 successful missions as a field agent and spy. A preview of Vijay’s dual role as a father-son team can be seen. It’s regarded by fans as one of Vijay’s best films. Many are complimenting the movie’s climax and second part. Some, meanwhile, are also criticising it as being rather “mokkai” (boring).
It was dubbed “Vijay’s career best performance” by a fan. Many changes and twists that keep you interested in the second half. You cannot review a film without giving away any plot details, as @archanakalpathi stated. Thus, avoid reading the reviews before seeing the film. The Saravedi Theatre. Things were going well in the first half. Second half, you can’t expect a lot of scenes, as @vp_offl mentioned. Although it is. The phone was not mentioned in the second part of the three-hour film. This is just another #Mangatha for #VenkatPrabhu.”
“#GOATTheMovie #TheGretestOfAllTime” was the sentiment expressed by another. THE BEST✨REVIEW The writing is nice, and Vijay sir does a great job acting. However, his ageing should have been handled more skilfully. Vijayakanth Hello, Vijay sir. Nice introduction. 😊 Sk cameo Ak reference appears to be unwelcome, although it did work in a few scenes 2.5/5.
Manobala Vijaybalan, a film trade analyst, gave it a less negative assessment. “#Goat: BLOATS👎🏻 #TheGreatestOfAllTime❌ The WASTE(st) Of All Time,” he wrote.
GOAT First Day Collection
GOAT box office collection for Day 1 is huge. It makes Rs 43 Crore in India, falls short of Leo’s opening day business. This shows the fan base of Vijay Thalapathy especially when the Bollywood movies are getting worse day by day. The movie had a global premiere in more than 4,000 theatres, which greatly boosted its first-day box office receipts.
With a 76.23% occupancy rate on Day 1, the movie enjoyed an outstanding run in Tamil Nadu. With 85.33% occupancy, the night shows in particular were in high demand. There were sizable attendance for the afternoon and evening performances as well, at 71.48% and 78.36%, respectively. Despite having a comparatively lower attendance, morning shows maintained a respectable 69.74% occupancy rate, suggesting that the movie is performing well in a variety of time slots.
About Goat
Produced by AGS Entertainment’s Kalpathi S Aghoram, Kalpathi S Ganesh, and Kalpathi S Suresh, it is directed by Venkat Prabhu. In the teaser for his “GOAT” movie, Thalapathy Vijay’s action-packed avatar stunned his admirers.
A historical science fiction movie is predicted to be GOAT. Prashanth, Prabhudheva, Sneha, Ajmal Ameer, Vaibhav, Laila, Mohan, Aravind Akash, and Ajay Raj are among the ensemble cast members who adopt the roles of the hero and villain. Thalapathy Vijay was seen in action before this was drama Leo directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.
The 2008 film GOAT opens in Kenya, where we witness the recovery of stolen uranium from a bunch of terrorists led by Omar and Rajiv Menon (Mohan) by a special anti-terrorist squad (SATS). After returning to India triumphant, Gandhi (Vijay) and his pals and team members Kalyan (Prabhu Deva), Sunil (Prashanth), and Shaaam (Ajay) cause chaos in the mission and face criticism from their chief Nazeer (Jayaram) for it. Gandhi’s pregnant wife Anu (Sneha), who is highly sceptical of his activities, gets into difficulty with the bunch of men since they are party animals and thick as thieves.
Chaos in GOAT
When Gandhi is given a mission, he chooses to take Anu and his son Jeevan to Thailand in order to keep them happy. Here’s where things take a grave turn. A gang attacks Gandhi and his family, leaving Anu hospitalised and Jeevan murdered after being abducted. Years later, we find that Gandhi is working from a desk job and is no longer with Anu. However, Sanjay becomes the victim of dread once more. How does Gandhi carry out his duties? Sanjay is a person who? How does the SATS group come to the rescue? Gandhi gets back together with his family? Does it have a happy ending?
First and foremost, director Venkat Prabhu deserves praise for his global narrative, which combines action, humour, drama, and a strong sense of family with lots of twists and homage. It’s pleasant that he gave Thalapathy Vijay a plot that differs greatly from the Tamil actor’s last few appearances. It’s remarkable since Vijay plays two quite distinct characters from one another in these two roles. From Captain Vijayanath, SPB, and Ajith’s Mankatha hook step to his late cousin Bhavatharini and many Vijay films, Venkat Prabhu has packed the movie with homage.
Tribute to Vijay Thalapathy
The director sets up a fantastic intermission block that surprises you in the first half of GOAT, which is quite fascinating. Before the movie ends, there is a tonne of family drama and intense action in a number of missions across the globe. Following the interval, the film begins with a confrontation between Gandhi and Sanjay, with the filmmaker attempting to maintain a rapid pace. Venkat Prabhu makes it clear throughout the movie that he is a huge fan of Vijay, and the film’s conclusion unmistakably confirms this (with allusions to Ghilli, Thirumalai, and other Kollywood productions). This is not to argue that the movie doesn’t have any lags; rather, Vijay’s outstanding performance and the strong ensemble cast let you overlook them.

Vijay’s signature charm, sentiment, action, dancing, and humour are all heavily utilised by the filmmaker, which is guaranteed to appeal to both the audience and his admirers.
Like in his earlier films, Venkat Prabhu has always collaborated with friends and family, and Yuvan Shankar Raja, his cousin, composed the soundtrack for GOAT. The BGM has been masterfully crafted by Yuvan, and the contemporary take on an iconic Ilaiyarajaa song is quite captivating. However, the AI-generated Bhavathirini song, Chinna Chinna Kangal, is incredibly moving and heartfelt. Fans were eager to share their joy on social media, complimenting the movie’s action scenes and poignant parts in particular. Despite conflicting assessments from reviewers, Vijay’s fan base seems to be highly supportive in general. Hashtags like #TheGOAT are trending on Twitter (X), where many people have taken to express their love for the movie.
GOAT is anticipated to keep up its momentum after such a successful launch, which could increase its box office receipts throughout the weekend. The movie might establish itself as one of the biggest releases of the year in Indian theatres if it keeps up its strong performance in the next few days.
For viewers and lovers of Thalapathy Vijay, GOAT is a Venkat Prabhu delight. This Vijay movie is a delightful, wholesome, action-packed entertainment!
