Recently, Netizens and critic have expressed their disappointment at the Liger movies ‘weak script’ and ‘screenplay’ and trashed out Puri Jaganaddh’s ‘lazy direction
One of the most anticipated sports movies of all time starring Ananya Pandey and Vijay Deverakonda “Liger” is finally out but it seems to have failed to match the expectations of the audience and critics.
The film, directed by Puri Jagannadh and also Co-produced by him alongside Charmme Kaur and Karan Johar’s Dharma Production, has been getting negative reviews from film critics and fans addressing it as a ‘flop’ movie.
Twitter users have expressed their high disappointment at the film’s ‘weak script’ and ‘screenplay’ and trashed out Puri Jaganaddh’s ‘lazy direction’.
A movie reviewer @urstruelyPeter reviewed Ananya Panday’s acting as a ‘dud’ and called out ‘too many cringe scenes’ in the movie.
Gone case..Not the pan india introduction vijay should get. Other than his screen presence nothing worked,pathetic writing and ananya pandya is a big dud as heroine..too many cringe scenes, so so music overall a bad film. 2/5 #Liger

To be precise, Telugu star Vijay Deverakonda and Bollywood actress Ananya Panday’s pan-India film, Liger has failed to impress cine-goers.
Puri Jagannadh’s directorial, the sports-action film features Vijay as the titular MMA fighter boxer along with Ananya. Besides Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday, former world heavyweight champion boxer Mike Tyson is seen making a cameo in the film.
The Dharma Productions-Puri Jagannadh film has been in the making for three years and faced numerous delays due to the pandemic. The film hits theatres today in all languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.
However, The Hindi version of Liger will premiere only night shows today (August 25) and will have regular shows from Friday (August 26) onward.
For all other languages, the film’s theatrical release date is August 25.
Vijay Deverakonda, Ananya Panday starrer Liger faces boycott calls here’s why
Before its release, Liger had also faced humungous boycott calls by Netizens just like other movies these days. Twitter users had called for the Telugu movie “Liger” to be Boycotted for several reasons but the prominent reason of all being Karan Johar’s Involvement. The trend started after Vijay supported actor Aamir Khan and his latest domestic box office failure, Laal Singh Chaddha.
In conversation with India Today, Vijay said
“When you decide to boycott a film, you are not only affecting Aamir Khan, you are affecting thousands of families who lose work and livelihoods. Aamir Sir is someone who pulls the crowd to the theatres. I am not sure why this boycott call is happening, but for whatever misunderstanding, this is happening, please realize you are not affecting Aamir Khan alone but the economy.”
