'Vikram' has a lot going for it, starting with Kamal's long awaited return to the cinema industry in big screen, his collaboration with the new-gen film maker Lokesh Kanagaraj, the Anirudh factor , and the participation of major hitters Vijay Sethupathi , Fahadh Faasil, and suriya . is the film deserving of its pre-release hype? The straightforward response is a resounding yes.
The film picks off where ‘Kaithi’ left off, with the drug mafia on the outlook for two missing containers containing drugs worth two lakh crore rupees. The serial murders of two cops and the father of one of them , Karnan are investigated by the secret government organisation directed by Amar(Fahadh Faasil) (Kamal haasan).Amar's investigation leads him to doubt not only Karnan's death, but also his own.
He was a lion in his old age. Kamal Haasan's roar has not faded, and his admirers are treated to a mix of complicated reactions that are subtle at times and powerful at others. Despite the limitations provided by his current physical condition, he performs all of the macho action scenes with ease. Even at this young age, the sequence in which fires a variety of guns from a pistol to cannon with the appropriate amount of effort is enough to demonstrate his quest for excellence . Fahadh faasil , who plays the most important role among the three heroes, is fantastic as the tenacious cop who is always on the job, except for one pivotal moment when he experiences a personal loss. Vijay Sethupathi is an actor who plays santhanam villian character role, is a standout performance by Vijay sethupathi. After a long time , we may be able to observe the work he has put in to a play role without being burdened by his sethupathi-ness.
Santhanam, however , unlike his Bhavani role in Master, is mostly wooden. His actions establish his character , but that doesn't make him powerful.
definitely out of the ordinary for a kamal haasan film. It all starts with the song ‘Pathala Pathala’ , which feels like an afterthought thrown in for a sake of it. The film gets underway after this weirdly placed tune.
And there isn't a single wasted moment in the first half. Lokesh must admire Christopher Nolan as much as he admires Martin scorese. Many scenes are reminiscent to Nolan's film. This one does have a Tenet-like sequence and a Bane-like narration.
And it's a refreshing LCU movie to Kollywood and that's my review and it is worth to watch people go and check it out. Peace.
