Beast, despite opening to mixed reviews, continues to witness a phenomenal fan turnout in theatres around the world, with family audiences lapping up the film. Vijay is supported in the film by Pooja Hegde, Selvaraghavan, VTV Ganesh, Sathish Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, Aparna Das among others forming the ensemble supporting cast who provide the humor in several sequences. Beast took a stunning opening everywhere and is expected to get a similar response over the weekend as tickets are sold out in advance bookings.

Vijay has once again proven to be an actor who can carry a film on his shoulders effortlessly and Beast is testimony to the fact. Praises are also being showered on Anirudh's songs and the background score, with the AnbAriv duo's action choreography in several fight scenes also receiving praises in theatres. It is to be noted that the film is the third occasion Anirudh has delivered the goods with a Vijay film after memorable songs and scores in Kaththi (2014) and Master (2021). Sun Pictures also has hit the bullseye with Beast and this is the second time the production banner has tasted success with a Vijay-starrer after Sarkar in 2018, which went on to become a money-spinner at the box office.
