Lokesh Kanagaraj put together the spy world of Kanagarhasan's 1986 movie Vikram and his own 2019 movie Kaithi. This is a world full of Vikram's druglords and cop's action. .. It unravels the mysteries of spy movies and provides some of the thrills of action movies, but it does not completely satisfy or leave the adrenaline rush promised by such highly ambitious movies. The film begins with interest when Karnan (Kamal Haasan), the father of the martyred police officer Prapanchan (Karidas Jayaram), is killed. We learn that there are many such killings, and a group of masked men claim responsibility and call it their war against the system. Police chief Jose (Chamban Vinod Jose) brought in a Black Ops team led by Amar (Fahad Facil), who began to delve into Karnan's life. The prime suspect is Sandhanam (Vijay Sethupathi), a terrifying drug trafficker with a large family, looking for shipments of raw materials that could make him the champion. Amar, on the other hand, is confused by many versions of Carnan. Was he an alcoholic father mourning the loss of his son, femininity, or more? More importantly, is he dead or alive?  Vikram works best in the first half, as Amar and his team understand the killings and try to track down the murderers. These parts contain very little  Kamal Haasan, but I always feel his presence, both as a character and as an actor. From Nayakan to Ambesibam, Kamal's works have nodded, and discovering them offers some small thrills. Actors who are in action star mode here will also have a whistle-worthy moment and take a break. And Vijay Sethupathi seems to be playing a ruthless villain, resuming where he was interrupted by the master. But once the easy-to-guess mystery surrounding Karnan is unraveled, the story becomes fairly straightforward. A small bunch of policemen must put their position on the gangster's army. Similar to what you got in prisoners, but not very effective here. In his honor, Roquesh tries to create an emotional undercurrent in the subplot, which includes the babies of Karna and Prapanchan, but it is not touched enough. It also makes the arcs of Amar and Sandhanam predictable. Fahad's Amar has been more or less canceled, but Vijay Setupati is working hard. Narain as Bejoy, the prisoner's honest police officer, is also ignored. Even the widely acclaimed Suriya cameo, which serves as the setup for the next article in Lokesh Kanagaraj Universe, is a bit disappointing. The action scenes are well-choreographed, but you're not in a hurry. However, in action hero movies, the maximum moment of inertia occurs in stunt scenes involving female characters (maids/spies played by Vasanthi). More moments like this were needed for Vikram to be truly memorable.
