Liger Movie Review

Performance: Vijay Deverakonda's body transformation is pretty visible on the screen. Vijay Deverakonda does justice to his role beyond expectations. Deverakonda nails his character and his dialogues are simnply commendable. One needs to have done a lot of practice to perform and it is evident that Deverakonda has worked hard to pull it off effortlessly. Vijay Deverakonda needs to brush up his dancing skills though. Ananya Panday's character has no scope for performance in Liger. Ramya Krishna does a fine job in the film. Mike Tyson's character has a lot of weightage in the film, but Puri Jagannadh hasn't used him fully. Rohit Roy, Vishnu Reddy, Get Up Srinu among others are okay in their respective roles.

What's hot:

Vijay Deverakonda's performance in Liger makes it a worthy watch despite the routine drama of mother sentiment. The mother and son scenes are worth watching. 

What's not:
Editing, screenplay, and music are not up to the mark. 

Verdict: Liger is predictable and lacks a tight screenplay

Liger Rating: 2.5/5
