Thalapathy Vijay’s much-anticipated film “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) has finally hit the theatres, sparking excitement among fans. From the early morning shows at 4 AM to the massive online buzz, the film has captivated audiences right from the start.
Ilayathalapathy vs Thalapathy: A Battle of Good and Evil
In Thalapathy Vijay’s “GOAT,” Vijay takes on dual roles, playing both a young and an older character. One is a hero, and the other is a villain, creating a dynamic clash that drives the film. Director Venkat Prabhu has cleverly designed this narrative to showcase why Vijay is a true GOAT (Greatest of All Time) to his fans.
A Global Adventure Begins in Kenya
The film opens in Kenya in 2008, where a special anti-terrorist squad (SATS) is on a mission to recover stolen uranium. The team, led by Gandhi (Vijay), includes Kalyan (Prabhu Deva), Sunil (Prashanth), and Shaaam (Ajay). They successfully complete the mission but face criticism from their chief Nazeer (Jayaram) for the chaos they caused.
Gandhi, a loyal friend and team member, struggles with his personal life. His wife Anu (Sneha) grows suspicious of his activities, leading to tension in their relationship. To make amends, Gandhi plans a family trip to Thailand, but their happiness is short-lived when tragedy strikes.
