What could even poor [#Puri]do [#Liger] It's a MASS ENTERTAINER. [August 25, 2022] From trailer to songs, every promotional stuff went viral on social media platforms. Ahead of the big release, the makers did send a loud and clear message about 'No Piracy'.

Director Puri Jagannadh's Liger, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday, is a convoluted sports drama with a lacklustre story.

He is still in the Arjun Reddy mode and it is high time he snaps out of it as it's getting repetitive. The story takes us to the US and then introduces boxing legend Mike Tyson as Mark Henderson. In a promotional interview, the Arjun Reddy actor claimed that Liger is already a 'blockbuster'. Liger's ultimate aim in life is to become a famous MMA fighter. Balamani (Ramya Krishnan) and her son Liger (Vijay Deverakonda), who reside in Karimnagar, move to Mumbai to make it big in the world of MMA. The answer is a big no.

The film has been getting mixed reactions from viewers across India. Agencies A section of the audience also feel that the film may break several records. ( ...

The sports action film Liger, starring Telugu star Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday, is now in theatres, but it seems to have failed to impress critics.

Besides Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday, former world heavyweight champion boxer Mike Tyson is seen making a cameo in the film. Vijay Devakonda starred in the movie ‘Arjun Reddy’ which was later made into Hindi as ‘Kabir Singh’. For all other languages, the film’s theatrical release date is August 25. KRK shared reviews of Telugu movie critics, who too have written off the Dharma Productions-Puri film Liger. This is not a movie for VD to enter the Pan India market. The much-anticipated sports action film Liger, starring Telugu star Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday, is now in theatres but it seems to have failed at striking a chord with the audience and critics. VD tried his best and body transformation is great but his stammering is annoying. “Puri’s biggest strength is the hero characterization and dialogues but in this movie, he went completely over the top and it goes into the cringe zone.

Liger review: The performances are mixed at best. Vijay Deverakonda is measured and earnest. His physical transformation is splendid.

Bullying is the leitmotif of the film. Backdrops range from a pub to a metro rail but the themes remain stuck in one place. The flips and the feet-flying combats don't give a high for the reason that the writing falters incessantly. He makes the susceptible underdog look sweet, although we can't say he is irresistibly so. In 'Liger', though, the writing is rudimentary. The bad guys are reduced to dolts. Vijay Deverakonda is measured and earnest. Forget the emotions for a while. [Vijay Deverakonda](https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/south/exclusive-vijay-deverakonda-wore-slippers-worth-rs-199-liger-trailer-launch-stylist-harmann-reveals-why)) is a natural MMA fighter who stammers a lot. Since the love story is uneven, uneventful and superficial, the only running emotion is the single mother's pride in her son's omnipotent abilities. His physical transformation is splendid. Even the negative characters would feel fresh.

Liger was supposedly shot in Telugu and Hindu simultaneously, but you can clearly make out that the dubbing is out of sync for most characters. Puri appears to have started with the intention of making a sports film but changed his mind midway to make a hotchpotch of romance and gangster genres. I was wondering if Puri would make Vijay wrestle with a crocodile too, but the contribution from the animal kingdom is limited to the cat family. Liger has a shaggy mane and a stutter; he has a father who was killed in a knock-out punch in the ring. I don’t know if Jagapathi Babu was unavailable to wear suits for this film in Las Vegas, but the honour goes to Chunky Panday. The romance between Liger and Taniya is so plastic that it should be classified as an environmental hazard.

Vijay Deverakonda's 'Liger' revolves around an aspiring MMA champion, whose biggest enemy is stutter.Liger. Vijay Devarakonda. Karan Johar. Charmme Kaur.

Honest review of 'Liger' starring Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday. The film is directed by Puri Jagannadh and also stars Mike Tyson in a cameo role.

I’d pick a brainless watch over a misogynistic one any day, so I guess Liger isn’t that bad after all (the bar is so low it’s six feet under the ground). Because the truth is worth it.) Liger is a chaiwalla who loves his country and is brought up by a really strong mother; one that he's very fond of. [Liger](https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/celebrities/liger-song-aafat-ananya-panday-vijay-deverakonda-rape-culture-reactions) (Vijay Deverakonda) is the perfect hero, but he has one seemingly huge flaw. My theory about this film being written by someone stuck in the early 2000s is proving right as the film progresses. Tanya is an influencer, and in a discussion with her friends about increasing engagement, she asks them to come up with “innovative ideas” by thinking of new hashtags, captions, and a bio… So Chunky Panday plays the role of a rich man who sponsors Liger’s trip to Las Vegas so he can compete in the MMA Championship. Mike Tyson might have many regrets in his decades-long career, but I'm sure this makes it to the top 5! It is the story of a man who wants to compete in the World Championship of MMA (Mixed martial arts). Our hero falls in love with a woman who is way too rich and out of his league, and also finds himself in a rivalry with her brother who is set out to kill him. This was the first movie I watched since the lockdown that was an almost full-house and I’d almost forgotten how great it felt. He does this to fulfill his mother’s wish, under the guidance of a very strict coach who specifically asks him to stay away from girls and not lose his focus.

Something is happening in one scene and suddenly the actors break into a glamorous song and dance sequence. The climax brings the much hyped cameo of Mike Tyson playing a fictional character called Mark Henderson and that, I feel, was the only saving grace. How can I not mention about the beautifully choreographed and elaborate song and dance sequences in Liger. For Ananya, I don't know if she was told what she had to do in the film. In terms of performance, no matter how good Vijay looks in every frame and brings his best to the table, the poorly written script with even worse execution terribly fails him. They try to balance it by cleverly placing a reference to Kabir Singh (Arjun Reddy's Hindi remake) and how men are egoistic and can't take no from a girl. With a screenplay so juvenile, story without a head or a tail, direction limited to showing the hero's moves in slo-mo, director Puri Jagannadh's Liger is extremely flawed and below average for the hype it created. The referee has announced the name of the fighter from India as the 'Slumdog from the streets of Mumbai', and the waving tricolour has evoked a sense of patriotism already. Moving on, Liger manages to get under the wings of his MMA coach (Ronit Roy), who lays down the rules clearly and at the top it is staying focussed and away from girls. Also, Vijay has had his share of troubles with Arjun Reddy that was tagged problematic and misogynist but Liger hasn't really learnt a lesson there either.

Playing an MMA (Mixed martial arts) aspirant, VD’s transformation into an untameable fighter is so palpable, it rips the screen apart. Apart from the fighting and dancing skills, both of which are exceptional, VD also sports a trendy stammer for no other reason except to give his character more hurdles on the way to the final victory which is snatched away by the most botched up climax I’ve seen in any cinema.

While it is indeed true that Telugu and Kannada commercial films are dominated by marginalisation and in-your-face contempt for women, and that Hindi cinema, despite its male dominance, offers far more space for realistic representations of women than these two Indian film industries, let’s not get on our high horse and pretend that the Hindi film industry is a paradise in this matter.
