Lal Salaam X reviews: Fans think Rajinikanth’s film has an ‘impactful message’
Aishwarya Rajinikanth’s directorial Lal Salaam, starring Rajinikanth, Vishnu Vishal and others, hit screens this Friday. The film is a sports drama that sees Kapil Dev in a key role.

‘Kudos to Aishwarya’
Lal Salaam – A must watch for Rajinikanth 's impactful special appearance and for the message. The climax was the best part of the film. I feel casting could've been a lot better and the editing, as well.

‘A noble message’
Superstar has done more than a cameo. Story is strong enough but the execution is poor. Rahman's bgm was neat but songs were not impressive. Neat performance from all the cast. Fairly engaging.
Below Average! pic.twitter.com/VpDXPglre2

One fan pointed out that while the film had some flaws, it was backed by a noble message, writing, “#LalSalaam Blockbuster.. book ur tickets, has its flaws in 1st half but punchy second half, terrific dialogues throughout, Thalaivar fabulous from both Vishnu and Vikranth climax la semma.. very very noble message.. much needed… WINNER #LalSalaamReview.

Another opined, “Delightful @rajinikanth. If you sync with his ideology, you’ll clap/cry, and love #LalSalaam. If you lean towards left or right, you’ll stutter, and struggle. @ash_rajinikanth, not just a Sanghi, even a left-leaning won’t do this role. On dot perfect my man, always! #LalSalaamFDFS. (sic)”
‘Poor execution’
#LalSaalam-2️⃣.2️⃣5️⃣/5️⃣ (Routine story with Routine template execution!Too many points with going back and forth in 1st half is too confusing on wat director wants to convey,2nd half goes with predictable narration!All Characters are poorly written not even one creates any impact!) pic.twitter.com/qVFLae0xnp

“#LalSalaam. +Ves, Social message content, #Thalaivar Special Appearance, Dialogues, #ARRahman songs especially #Anbalane #Deva voice was magical,” wrote a fan, adding, “-Ves. The non-linear narration & Editing was a little off. OVERALL WORTH A WATCH FOR THE MESSAGE CONVEYED. Kudos @ash_rajinikanth. (sic)”

While some fans believed Aishwarya should’ve written Rajinikanth’s role better, others believed she did a good job. One fan opined, “When you rope in a Star like Rajni you should have some powerful character written or at least one impactful scene! Both are big disappointments here! 2 fights for Rajni not even one click! They could have roped in any other artist for this role. #LalSalaam. (sic)”
However, another fan believed Rajinikanth had an impactful role, writing, “This is not a cameo movie. Sambavam by @ash_rajinikanth. Superb acting by @TheVishnuVishal & @vikranth_offl and the whole team. @arrahman scores big time. #lalsalaam #thalaivar #rajinikanth. (sic)”
