G.O.A.T Tamil Movie

The Tamil film *G.O.A.T.* (Greatest of All Time) was directed by Venkat Prabhu and starred Thalapathy Vijay, marking his final film before he decided to retire from acting to enter Tamil Nadu politics. The cast also includes Prashanth, Prabhu Deva, Sneha, and Meenakshi Chaudhary, along with strong supporting performances from Yogi Babu and Vaibhav Reddy.

In the film, Vijay plays a double role as Gandhi, a skilled hostage negotiator and undercover agent, as well as his estranged son. The story revolves around their reunion under intense circumstances, as Gandhi embarks on a high-stakes mission involving terrorist plots and a troubled personal history.

Yuvan Shankar Raja served as the music director for this film, and his soundtrack enhanced the action sequences. However, some critics felt that the songs did not fully match the intensity of Vijay's on-screen presence.

With its fan-centric approach, *G.O.A.T.* offers numerous moments that resonate with Vijay's admirers, but it has received mixed reviews for its length and occasional narrative inconsistencies.
