Kabir’s direction is very good as usual but spoiled by some unnecessary songs and below average acting by Karthik.
Now I am convinced that all the heavy praises he was getting were either funded by him or his benefactors because please such bad acting cannot have such polarizing opinions.And also literally every reviewer was mentioning how he being an outsider should be supported. I mean what kind of emotional blackmail is this? It’s not even subtle anymore. Why is it my responsibility as an audience to lift up any bad actor, insider or outsider notwithstanding ?
Of course it isn't your responsibility 
(and feeling emotional blackmail is already a bad preparation to watch a movie, I think).
The some reviews I read, not once Kartik had been mentioned as an outsider (but I didn't refer to twitter reviews).
I'm sure that my perception of Kartik's acting will very much differ from yours...given the little I saw until now. Strange how perceptions are so different.
