Be it ‘Koffee With Karan’ or the Mumbai local, South star Vijay Deverakonda and star kid Ananya Panday have been making their appearances everywhere to promote their film ‘Liger’.
The Indian sports action film wherein American boxer Mike Tyson also makes an appearance along with Vijay is directed by Puri Jagannadh and produced by Dharma Productions. The film sure managed to create a lot of hype which raised the expectations of moviegoers.
Well, the pan-India film was released today in Telugu and Tamil with the Hindi version going up tomorrow. And people who watched the movie on the first day have also tweeted their reviews online.
Seems like ‘Liger’ opened to massive criticism from Vijay fans and cinema lovers who called it a wasted opportunity.
Puri shows all his creativity while creating female characters through whom he can channel his sexism. An infantile female-lead who is jarring and a mother who mouths every shitty opinion of the filmmaker on women. Puri has always been crass, here, he is lazy as well.

Sorry @TheDeverakonda – All your hard work in to dustbin. Your stammering on screen did not work at all .
Move away from Bollywood , do proper Telugu movies , it will automatically become pan Indian projects ! #Liger

Puris 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. Tysons character is ridiculous.
This is not a movie for VD to enter the Pan India market. Bad Choice #Liger

#Liger (Telugu|2022) – THEATRE.
Other than VD’s physical transformation, film has no plus. Horrible perf from Ananya. No villain character (Puri is d villain). 1st Hlf s atleast Bearable, 2nd Hlf is total crap. Forced Mike Tyson Climax sticks out. Full of Outdated scenes. WORST! pic.twitter.com/mFM4CZZhxW

Some films make you happy by how they end. Some others, when they end. #Liger

#liger is definitely a bad movie .
But what made its a unbearable torture film for me is the acting of #AnanyaPandey .
Please avoid casting bollywood actress in telugu films 🙏🤮@Charmmeofficial @purijagan @TheDeverakonda @PuriConnects pic.twitter.com/FXmp565Rpy— J (@jayyybigwin) August 25, 2022
Disastrous second half. @purijagan has completely lost it. Not a single enjoyable scene. Same 2rps attitude from VD throughout the movie. So happy for you mam @Charmmeofficial 😍😍 party hard in the cave. #Liger https://t.co/efq27S9vDW

#Liger is a cross between lion and tiger produced in zoos. It is larger than both but impotent.

#Liger is one of the worst films from #VijayDevarakonda & @purijagan !
1/2 songs were good…
Rest all are real torture for the audience!
cast performance 😭🙏🏻 fights didn't make any impact at all! Lazy making, no proper story or script..!Below Average!

While the movie opened to mixed responses, it’s always good to watch it and judge for yourself.
