GOAT movie review: Vijay starrer and Venkat Prabhu directorial, GOAT has finally hit theatres, generating massive buzz. As one of Vijay’s last two films, it carries high expectations, with fans eager to see if the film lives up to the hype. So, does it? Let’s find out.

The plot of GOAT

The film, as teased in its trailer, revolves around Gandhi (Vijay), a key figure in an Anti-Terrorism Specialist team that includes Kalyan (Prabhu Deva), Sunil (Prashanth), Nasir (Jayaram), and Ajmal. Their former colleague Menon (Mohan) has been labeled a traitor for aiding terrorists. The movie begins with Gandhi’s squad completing a mission in Kenya, resulting in the death of Menon’s family, including his son. Surviving the attack, Menon vows revenge and targets Gandhi using his other son, also played by Vijay.

The first half of the movie blends action, comedy, and family emotions, setting the stage for the second half, where a thrilling father-son conflict takes center stage.

A masterfully crafted action thriller

While the core storyline may seem like a standard revenge plot, director Venkat Prabhu skillfully elevates it into a captivating action thriller. Known for his unique storytelling style, Prabhu infuses GOAT with plenty of adrenaline-pumping "mass" moments, keeping viewers hooked from start to finish.

Prabhu doesn’t rely on leaving twists up to the audience to figure out but instead reveals them at just the right time, turning each into a crowd-pleasing moment. This approach keeps the film’s momentum high while adding excitement to every twist.

Music, Action, and final verdict

The Goat successfully delivers a combination of high-energy action, emotional drama, and crowd-pleasing moments, making it a true celebration for Vijay’s fans. As one of his final films, it stands as a fitting tribute to the star’s career, making it a must-watch for die-hard Thalapathy fans.
