Venkat Prabhu set high expectations with The Greatest of All Time, starring Thalapathy Vijay.
Fans hoped for a gripping experience akin to Mankatha, but The Greatest of All Time disappoints with weak storytelling and reliance on star power.
The use of AI and de-ageing technology feels inconsistent and lacks emotional depth.
The plot of The GOAT is riddled with tired cliches, as Thalapathy Vijay’s character Gandhi, a spy, hides his identity from his wife, leading to predictable marital discord.
The film's logic falters with implausible setups, and supposedly sharp characters make baffling decisions, weakening the narrative.
Venkat Prabhu tries to cover up the film's flaws by leaning on Vijay's stardom and nostalgic references to other stars, but even these fail to elevate the movie.
Ultimately, The Greatest of All Time falls short, offering little beyond fan service.
