Though one half of the audience is amazed by Vijay's power-packed performance, the other half is criticising director Nelson Dilipkumar for the wafer-thin plot and lack of direction in the Tamil film.

'Beast' is the third directorial of Nelson Dilipkumar, credited as Nelson in films. He is known for combining action with dark comedy in his movies. His last two films 'Kolamaavu Kokila' and 'Doctor' were critically acclaimed, though this time it seems that Nelson has missed his mark.
