YouTube Public Review
Tamil YouTube channels such as Makkal Talks have posted street-level audience reviews. The public feedback is split:
-
Some viewers call Diesel “a solid Diwali action film” with gritty visuals and realistic smuggling scenes.
-
Others find it “draggy in the middle” and say “the screenplay could have been tighter.”
-
The video titled “PUBLIC REVIEW | DIESEL MOVIE REVIEW” includes theatre-goers praising Harish Kalyan’s performance and background score, but most rate the movie around 2.5 to 3 out of 5
A Watchable Diwali Action Flick
In summary, Diesel earns points for ambition, performance, and music, but loses momentum due to a weak second half and pacing issues. If you’re a fan of gritty action and Harish Kalyan’s on-screen energy, it’s a one-time watch.
