Thalapathy Vijay’s much-anticipated film of the year, “The Greatest of All Time (GOAT),” directed by the acclaimed Venkat Prabhu, hit theaters worldwide on September 5. The collaboration between Vijay and Prabhu had fans eagerly awaiting the release, and the film opened to record-breaking advance bookings. Critics have given the movie decent reviews, and Thalapathy fans are thrilled with Vijay’s double-action roles. The film has already grossed about ₹43 Crore in India from its release in two languages. The long festival weekend is expected to boost the film’s momentum, although occupancy rates outside Tamil Nadu dipped on the second day.
In “GOAT,” Vijay plays Gandhi, a successful member of the Special Anti-Terrorist Squad (SATS), known for his missions in Kenya under the leadership of Menon (Mohan). While in Bangkok, Gandhi learns of his son Jeevan’s (also played by Vijay) death, only to be shocked years later when he finds Jeevan alive in Russia. Upon their return home, a series of unusual events force Gandhi to uncover the truth behind Jeevan’s mysterious disappearance and reappearance.
Unfortunately, “GOAT” has fallen victim to piracy shortly after its theatrical release. The entire content of this sci-fi action-thriller was copied and distributed online through various illegal websites. These pirated links, which allow users to watch and download the movie for free, have spread rapidly across social media and other platforms, significantly impacting the film’s box office performance.
