Kaushik LM: #SangaThamizhan - Fans of #MakkalSelvan #VijaySethupathi would like him in the film. It's an effortless #masshero outing for him. He safely has fun here without trying any of his usual experiments and risks.
@vijayfilmaker shows again that he is a hero's director.
#SangaThamizhan - Attractive Tamil ponnu #NivethaPethuraj comes in the 2nd half and she looks gorgeous as the homely village belle.
But it's a very abrupt ending for her character ; the #SandakariNeethan song is also not present in the film!
#SangaThamizhan - @vijayfilmaker proves that he is a #STR #Simbu loyalist. He keeps an enjoyable little Thotti Jeya tribute, with @sooriofficial; STR fans alert
In general, it's a subtle #Soori that we see. #Vijaysethupathi has fun giving buildup to Soori and pulling his leg
#SangaThamizhan 2nd half - Works better than the 1st. The village portions are fairly engaging
#VijaySethupathi delivers the tried & tested mass moments convincingly with his swag.
@vijayfilmaker sticks to his strengths and dishes out a watchable commercial entertainer. Timepass
#SangaThamizhan interval: Regular mass template commercial formula padam, with a promising interval bang.
#Makkalselvan #Vijaysethupathi looks gethu & colorful
Bright & beautiful @RaashiKhanna
Peppy #Kamala & melodious #Azhagu - nice songs
Also has a public social issue angle
Rajasekar: #SangaThamizhan first half - Follows the regular mass masala entertainer template. @VijaySethuOffl 's dialogue delivery is a plus in this tried and tested zone. @RaashiKhanna's portion is quite enjoyable.
#SangaThamizhan is a typical commercial entertainer with an underlying social angle.
@VijaySethuOffl effortlessly carries his role, his combination with the subtle 'hero'
@sooriofficial looks fresh. Watchable template mass masala.
#SangaThamizhan - the film reminds us #Kaththi, #Mersal, and a few other mass entertainers. Both the heroines
@RaashiKhanna and #NivethaPethuraj have done a good job for a hero glorifying mass entertainer.
Christopher Kanagaraj: #SangaThamizhan - Vijay Sethupathi's next level attempt to a mass hero, works to an extent. RaashiKhanna & Nivetha both did gud. Weak Villains. Decent BGM & songs. Film follows regular old age commercial template with a school level twist. Nothing new, but not so bore. Above Avg!
Ramesh Bala: #SangaThamizhan 1st Half : A Fun Mass Masala Entertainer..
@VijaySethuOffl, @RaashiKhanna and @sooriofficial make it worth a watch so far..
