Beast movie review: Vijay shines in this mall invasion thriller that’s bogged down by flippant writing.
A few months later, East Coast Mall is under siege by the terrorists. They take many people hostages and demand the release of Umar Farooq. Unfortunately for them, Veera is present in the mall. The movie’s basic plot is how he takes on the terrorists single-handedly and saves the day.
The film opens somewhere near Kashmir where Veeraraghavan (Vijay), a R&AW officer has been prepping for a mission for three months. At the last minute, the Indian government decides to call off the mission, but Veera decides to go ahead as per the original plan, against the orders of his own bosses. He manages to successfully execute the mission, but the outcome leaves him psychologically scarred, forcing him to quit service and return home for good. A few months later, he finds himself in the midst of a hostage situation. He is trapped in a mall with his girlfriend as terrorists demand their leader (who was originally captured by Veera) to be released.
