Umair Sandhu, a member of the Censor Board in the United Kingdom, took to social media to provide the film's first review. He expressed his admiration for the actor's approach and the film's ability to meet all of the standards of a mainstream entertainer on his Instagram stories. The film critic scored Beast four stars and said on Instagram, "Vijay looks really dashing and his performance is superb." In every frame, he is fantastic. Story and script are both engaging. The dialogues are deserving of applause. Nelson's director is straightforward, and he demonstrates that he can handle a production of this magnitude. He also skillfully connects the dots in the story. #Beast is, on the whole, a good thing.
Overall, #Beast is a paisa-vasool action entertainer with flare and enough twists and turns to keep the audience engaged. The film's (sic) extended weekend, exciting action, breathtaking locales, and sophisticated execution will ensure massive box office receipts."
In Beast, Vijay plays a spy who is experienced in numerous defence strategies. The film is set inside a mall in Chennai where guests are held hostage by a group of terrorists, as stated in the teaser. The 'beast,' by the way, is also one of the hostages. The film, directed by Nelson, demonstrates Beast's swag in how he defeats the terrorists and ensures the safety of all the captives.
Because Beast is the first release after Thalapathy Vijay's Master, which single-handedly resurrected the Box Office during the pandemic last year and demonstrated the power of the public and their loyalty to Vijay, the buzz around this picture is bigger than ever.
