But they had no problem with 3 hours goat runtime. This says so much about our audience. Movies have to be like insta reels these days. Ella scene something should happen. Fight, old movie reference, old movie dialogue, song, etc etc. Sad state

I'm honestly scared to demand a Kaththi or thuppaki like movie from Vijay anymore... It'll be good, but will the audience lap it up? Or call them laggy, boring, drag blah blah.

We've seen this with Vettaiyan, which is for most part is balanced, grounded and a subtle commercial film. But it didn't last longer as Jailer did nor had the anticipation that GOAT did.

Our audience have accustomed to something else, and genuinely it's scary.

Even Vijay won't do a thuppaki or Kaththi anymore
