REVIEW
Performance:
Once again, Yash has given fantastic performance and wins the hearts of the viewers. His style and body languages are appreciable. Srinidhi Shetty continues the same and she has got nothing much. Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Rao Ramesh, and Prakash Raj are new additions to the film. Prakash Raj as narrator does good job. Sanjay Dutt looks menacing and powerful in the role of Adheera, and he delivers his best. Raveena Tandon justifies with her role. She is playing an aggressive
person. She as the Prime Minister also has a good track. Rao Ramesh Rao Ramesh as the CBI officer is good, and the rest of the cast are ok
Technical:
The music composer Ravi Basrur gives background score with aplomb But it is too loud in a few scenes. Cinematographer Bhuvan Gowda does superb job. The cinematography work is highlighted. The editing is fine. The production values of Hombale Films are grand. The tragic mother sentiment song
is instantly followed by the duet Rocky and Reena. The action episodes are superb. Rao Ramesh as the CBI officer. The dialogues -Mongoose in Snake and Ladder game, the CEO of India, Powerful people make places powerful, are highlighted.
Analysis: The movie lovers who want to watch a loaded action film with style, heavy duty stunts and dialogues, go and watch Prashanth Neel' KGF : Chapter 2.

Second half Climax Predictable story
Performance:
Vijay has owned the character. His body language is fantastic. He stayed within the character and enthralled mass lovers and fans without stepping out of it. He comes up with an outstanding performance in the film. It’s not an easy feat to match up to the screen presence and aura of Vijay. He is charming and fun in Beast. The director Selva Raghavan turns an actor with Beast. Yogi Babu is fine. Pooja Hegde does not get much screen presence and she is just ok. Her character doesn't add much value to the story. VTV Ganesh, Sathish and a bunch of other comedians, provide laughs to the audiences.

Analysis:
Coming on the work of the director Nelson Dilipkumar, he tries to stick to his storytelling template by introducing characters who aid the hero in the rescue mission just like in his last film Doctor. There is no powerful villain in this film Beast to take on Vijay and make the proceedings interesting.
