Vikram Review
A self-admitted Kamal Haasan fan, Lokesh not just honored his ‘master’, with Vikram – a continuation of sorts to Kamal’s 1986 film of a similar name – he prodded the start of an establishment; one that could keep Kamal active in the future. Vikram permits Kamal to have a fun time, and he’s supported by Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi, who make their presence felt areas of strength with strong performances.
Vikram begins where Lokesh’s Kaithi left off. Months after the enormous drug bust Tamil Nadu police ever pulled, two containers full of drugs went missing in Chennai, and local gangs have to retrieve them at any cost before the crime lord and the leader of the drug mafia Rolex – played by Suriya – makes everybody pay. In the meantime, a group of covered men is on a killing binge, ending the life of a few high-positioning officials, which includes a young official in the narcotics control bureau, played by Kalidas.
Kamal plays Karnan in the film. At the point when his child turns into a survivor of the group, he sets out determined to get payback. What feels like simply one more story of retribution before long transforms into a mission organized by Karnan, who is presented a lot later as agent Vikram – the first person tried by Kamal in the 1986 film.
You must hand it to Lokesh Kanagaraj for bringing back Kamal’s profoundly misjudged agent Vikram character, after thirty years; and utilizing it so really in a story that could never have been told better.
Notwithstanding, the film wavers at places and isn’t reliably captivating, however, it figures out how to combine key characters from Lokesh’s prior film Kaithi and makes way for what could be Tamil film’s greatest franchise really taking shape. Vikram, with nearly a three-hour running time, gives a new generation of audiences a glimpse of Kamal Haasan’s versatility. It was rewarding to see the veteran shine after a long time.
For the majority of the main half, Kamal is no place to be seen, yet he has a strong effect in the scenes he’s present. Fahadh Faasil gets the second most substantial part among the troupe cast, and he’s tremendous. Vijay Sethupathi keeps on sparkling in particular jobs that are the most ideal for his character, and it’s reviving to see Lokesh use him effectively after Master.
Anirudh Ravichander’s music, particularly the background score, assumes an important part in amplifying the overall experience of watching Vikram at the theaters, apart from the terrific action sequences. Suriya’s guest appearance is just the high one needs as you step out of Vikram.
