Their peaceful middle-class life changes completely with the involvement of a corporate gang.ETimes awarded the film 4 stars out of 5 and wrote, “The best of Blast, though, lies in the little details. For instance, the biggest action twist in the film does not come from Arjun or Preity. And I know who you are thinking, it isn’t from Abhirami either.”The review further added, “Instead, the film hands its biggest action pivot to a fourth person altogether, which makes the setup interesting. From a stunning introduction fight sequence for Preity, the film has an action block every five to ten minutes. Yet, it gets redundant only in very few instances, thanks to predictable yet exciting twists.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
