Vijay Sethupathi’s upcoming comedy film Ace has received encouraging feedback following its first review, with early viewers calling it a thoroughly entertaining experience packed with humor and sharp performances.
Directed by newcomer Arun Subramaniam, Ace features Vijay Sethupathi in a light-hearted role that appears to mark a departure from his recent intense characters. The film is being described as a clean, well-paced comedy that relies on intelligent writing and natural performances rather than slapstick.
According to the first published review, Sethupathi delivers a standout performance, showcasing his signature comic timing and effortless screen presence. Critics note that the actor carries the film with ease, supported by a tight screenplay and a lively ensemble cast.
The review also highlights the film’s balanced tone—managing to evoke consistent laughter while weaving in satirical elements without compromising on storytelling. The direction, pacing, and background score have also been mentioned positively.
On social media, early viewers have called Ace a “pleasant surprise” and “a refreshing break from formulaic cinema.” Fans of Sethupathi are particularly excited to see the actor return to comedy, a genre he has previously excelled in.
Ace is expected to release in theatres later this month, with promotional activities already underway. Industry insiders believe the positive buzz from the first review could give the film a strong opening at the box office.
