The buzz on Twitter highlights a range of opinions.
Forum Keralam praised the film, stating, “#GOAT – A Superb Entertainer from Venkat Prabhu! A decent first half sets the stage for a gripping second half, packed with twists and surprises! Ilayathalapathy Vijay steals the show with his superb performance! Another BLOCKBUSTER loading for Thalapathy.” This review reflects the enthusiasm surrounding Vijay’s performance and the film’s engaging narrative.

Another user commented, “Neat first half followed by outstanding second half BLOCKBUSTER #TheGreatestOfAllTime,” echoing the positive reception of the film’s latter half.
However, not all feedback was glowing. One review noted, “Strictly average. They need to trim the 2nd half by at least 20mins. Vijay did fantastic. BGM is a letdown. That being said, Vijay star power may take this movie to a profitable venture.” This highlights some criticism regarding the film’s pacing and background score.
A different perspective came from another user: “Super the last twist in the climax didn’t like it. Except for those 2 minutes, all scenes are super. BGM is nice. Cameos liked.”
Film analyst AB George offered a balanced view: “#GOAT — A decent first half followed by a good latter half and a decent climax. On the positive side, THALAPATHY is superb and has enough high moments, twists, and cameos. On the other hand, the climax, VFX & BGM could have been better. The length is another issue. Overall, it’s a ‘watchable commercial entertainer’ from VP and the team. Another BLOCKBUSTER LOADING for THALAPATHY.”
Overall, GOAT is receiving mixed yet positive reviews from audiences in Kerala, with Vijay’s performance and the film’s entertainment value being the main highlights.
