Masilamani (Suriya) and Jet (Premji) are close buddies and small-time thieves. Situation forces them loot smugglers on a boat. On their return, they met with an accident. Following the incident, the hero realises that he has got a supernatural power to see the ghosts. This makes ghosts approach him seeking for favours and Sakthi (Suriya) is one among them. What happens next should be seen on-screen.
Audience Reviews:
Audience have heaped praises on Venkat Prabhu in rich words for his ability to churn out an entertaining "Masss" loaded with all the commercial ingredients. The twists and turns in the story, comedy and background music have been appreciated by the cine-goers. Suriya, as always, steals the show. On the flip side, a section of people have criticised that there are a lot of loopholes in the script and at parts logic goes missing. The CGI work is also not up to the mark.

#Masss Interval: Jolly good fun. Typical @dirvenkatprabhu thriller with a good dose of spook. Colorful visuals, lil twists and red-hot BGM.
All set to watch India's first romantic horror comedy action entertainer - #Masss.
Podraaa vediyaaa!
#Masss: Yuvan has stolen the show with his chilly BGM. Technically strong with vibrant visuals and neat cuts. CG is the worry.
#Masss: The fantasy/horror element adds a lot of spice to the proceedings. Nice packaging by VP, though he doesn't do away with few clichés.

#Masss 1st half done - Interesting. Supernatural elements used in an entertaining way along the story. #Suriya #Yuvan #VP in good form.
#Masss 1st half - Sri Lankan #Suriya makes a stunning entry & rules the latter part of the 1st half. More fun & a gud backstory expected now
#Masss #Piravi song WOW .. So touching. Beautiful concept. Nice emotions.. Neat VFX ..
#Masss 1st half - references to other heroes, mainly #Vijay and also #Vikram and #Ajith. Also #SaRajkumar. Typical #VP jolly touches ;)
#Masss was satisfying with the @dirvenkatprabhu touches, the supernatural treated in a slightly different way& @Suriya_offl in all his glory
#Masss - A spirits-driven commercial cocktail with some purpose, motive and solid emotions. A well-timed #Sixer from @dirvenkatprabhu & co.

#Masss 1st half: Interestingly mounted thriller with ample one liners which tickle the funny bone. @Suriya_offl & @thisisysr nailing it.

#Masss #Interval. Excellent story writing. Hats off to VP for that. But execution could have been much better.
ChristopherKanagaraj Wrote
#Masss @rparthiepan's witty one liners are cool eg) he tooks off thief's coolers and says ' ini yevanum ennatha pudungunenu kekamatan" :)
Haricharan Pudipeddi Wrote
Glad that the horror angle in #Masss is used creatively to give us an entertainer. Has some issues but it sure doesn't disappoint.
Also, can any other Tamil filmmaker make a film with so many twists other than Venkat Prabhu? #Masss is packed with so many twists.
Take Suriya from #RakhtCharitra and put him in a film like #Masss, it would've been a kick ass film. Nevertheless, still liked it
On the contrary, #Masss could've been an excellent thriller sans comedy. But it's understandable why it was made the way it is.

Super duper kickass 1st half.First of it kind genre n totally engaging. Action,comedy,horror,romance n wat not. 2nd half , cant wait. #Masss
Twist at every turn. Thats 1st half of #Masss. @Suriya_offl show all the way. Hope 2nd half will live up to first.
Suriya says #AdhukkumMele. Kick ass entry. #Masss
#Masss - @Suriya_offl show all the way. He is back to his best. Super stylish and performance. Climax typical but over all a SIXER.
#Masss - And @dirvenkatprabhu hits it out of the park. Action thriller with a mixture of horror , comedy and romance. Sure shot hit. 3.5/5.

#Masss: Venkat Prabhu has successfully managed to revive the horror-genre & present it in a refreshing pattern. Afterlife part worked well.
