Story:

Positives:

Rajinikanth and his characterization

Two stylish songs

Good First Half

Negatives:

Stale Second half

No strong plot

Tamil overdose

Poor climax

Performances:

Superstar Rajinikanth delivers out a decent set of performance in dual shades as Kaali and Petta Veera. He looks energetic throughout the film and is the major highlight of the film. Bobby Simha and Vijay Sethupathy lives up the expectations in their assignments. Nawazuddin Siddhiqui stuns in a crucial role and his performance is a teat for masses. All the other actors have been good in their roles.

Petta lacks an interesting and strong plot. The film stands completely on Rajinikanth’s characterization and his mannerisms. The screenplay and diolagues should have been better. The music and the background score fails to make impact across the film. The cinematography work is good and elevates the film well. The production values have been grand and Karthik Subbaraj delivers a film that impresses to Rajinikanth’s fans strictly.

Verdict:

Petta is one more disappointment from Rajinikanth and the film falls flat because of the poor script and pale narration.

Rating:: 2.5/5
