People expect creativity from a director like Subbaraj and unfortunately he plays it to the galleries. He takes the classic trope of the Baasha format and uses it to his liking to craft Petta and therein is where the problem lies. Unfortunately in his third film, Karthik Subbaraj loses the plot here. But as in any working relationship, one must know the difference between fantasy and fanboying and creativity and well written narrative. The first 20 minutes are obvious as to how much of a fan Subbaraj is of the Superstar. Direction: After making the classic that is Jigarthanda, Karthik Subbaraj is back and got a chance to direct his idol in Rajinikanth. Aadukulam Naren and J Mahendran are wasted in small roles as well. Sasikumar is adequate and so is Malavika Mohanan. Bobby Simha is brutally miscast as a college senior and he is wasted.
#Petta rating movie
The heroines are simply useless as Simran gets a role lasting no more than 10 mins and god knows why Trisha even accepted the movie in the first place as she gets all of 3 scenes and 2 lines the entire film. Besides these 3 actors, every other actor in the film fails to make an impact. He is sincere and honest as always and matches Rajinis charisma in two confrontation scenes in the 2nd half. Vijay Sethupathi gets a decent role and tries to make the most of it. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is exceptional as the cowardly Singaar Singh and plays his role to perfection. The 2nd half brings out a new dimension to this character and makes the audience remember how versatile of an actor he really is and why he has garnered all the success over the years. The swag, the style, the mannerisms, and laugh are all back and it's a feast for Rajini fans throughout the entire movie. Rajinikant is fabulous in his role as Petta and it's tailor made.
