GOAT Twitter review: Thalapathy Vijay has dual roles in the movie.

Vijay as a field agent and spy who has carried out over 65 successful operations in his career. The trailer gives a glimpse of Vijay's double role, playing a father-son duo. Fans are calling it one of Vijay's best movies. Many are praising the film's second half and climax. However, a few are also calling it rather 'mokkai' (boring).'
