His relation with his father Rayappan (Vijay) and other equations forms the rest of Whistle. Watch the film to know about the rest of the story.
Positives:
Vijay’s outstanding performance
Grand production values
AR Rahman’s music
Climax episodes
Emotional Drama
Negatives:
Predictable content
Dragged second half
Runtime
Performances:
Vijay steps out with an outstanding performance in three different shades as Rayappan, Micheal and Bigil. The actor carries the entire film on his shoulders and he exhibits various shades. Nayanthara has a meaty role and she shines in the assignment. Kathir and Yogi Babu have been decent in their roles and they performed well. Jackie Shroff played well and he tops the show with his roaring performance. Vivek does a decent job and all the other actors did well.
Whistle has nothing much exciting when it comes to the plot. The screenplay and dialogues are decent. The music and the background score supports the film well and some of the crucial episodes are well elevated. The cinematography work stands out and the production values have been lavish. Every frame looks rich and lavish. Atlee steps out with one more out and out commercial film.
Final Word:
Whistle is a decent film laced with all the needed commercial ingredients. Lengthy runtime is sure a barrier and some of the episodes look dragged. Vijay shines throughout the film.
