The film Vikram, starring Kamal Haasan, gave me "Goosebumps." Vikram, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is the first partnership between Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi, and Fahadh Faasil. It's a clever crime thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The Vikram film is the sequel to the 1986 film of the same name, featuring Kamal and Sujitha. Kamal returns in the sequel 36 years after the original film's release. The original was a commercial success, and so has this film. But what's the real reason for it becoming the talk of the town. Or why are people questioning whether this is Kamal Haasan's Best Work till now?
Kamal Haasan and Mahendran produced the film under the banner 'Raaj Kamal Films International.' Anirudh Ravichander composed the soundtrack and film score, while Girish Gangadharan controlled cinematography and Philomin Raj edited the film.
Spoiler Ahead, You Have Been Warned.
This movie starts with the team of masked men releasing terrorist statements claiming responsibility for the series of killings in the city. Officer Jose assembles a group of undercover agents to investigate, and they set out on their search to find the drug dealer. The plot and the five storylines that collided at the end were the most memorable aspects of Vikram in my opinion.?
The cinematography was simply outstanding on an international scale. The action scenes are stunningly shot. Giving you the Full Paisa Vasool experience. The action scenes in the climax will undoubtedly thrill you. It will provide you with the impression that you are witnessing it firsthand.
Vikram's cast includes Kamal Haasan, Fahadh Faasil, and Vijay Sethupathi in lead roles, as well as Chemban Vinod Jose, Kalidas Jayaram, Antony Varghese, Narain, Antony Varghese, and Arjun Das in supporting roles.
The casting of this film was crucial, which is why there has been so much hype surrounding Vikram. Fans are in for a treat that will far exceed their expectations. Fahadh Faasil plays his part so well that he will be able to elicit a wide range of emotions from the audience. Vijay Sethupathi is a well-known actor who is capable of outperforming even the lead characters in a film. He portrays the bad guy, a negative character, with great aplomb.
Now, let's talk about my personal favourite, Kamal Haasan, who is sure to bring back the thrill, suspense, and excitement. He never fails to disappoint. 'Suriya' makes a surprise appearance as a crime boss in the story as well.
The film has been dubbed in Hindi, Telugu, and Malayalam, with the Telugu and Hindi versions being titled Vikram Hitlist.?In contrast to the issue, we have with regional content being dubbed in Hindi or any other language, which is mismatched lipsync. The dubbing is smooth here, so you won't have the same experience. Fans will be able to feel the emotions and follow the plot.
The director has stated that he is a huge Kamal Haasan fan. And stated that Vikram is a 100% Kamal Haasan film. I'm sure hearing this would have piqued his fan's interest even more. As a result, the film became a celebration of the star rather than the plot. Kamal has been unwavering in his devotion to the cinema for over six decades.
Lokesh appears to have taken the actioner subgenre to a new level with Vikram. The director has become well-known for combining action and entertainment. "Vikram" also introduced the concept of a "cinematic universe" to Tamil cinema.
Hollywood films frequently use crossovers, such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Lokesh Kanagaraj experimented with the technique in Vikram by using the style. So, has He established LCU??The director used a crossover from his previous film, Kaithi, to add a unique element, and Kamal Haasan is known for including unique elements in his films.
Three characters from the director's previous film, Kaithi, Narain, Harish Uthaman, and Arjun Das, appear in Vikram. In addition, Suriya makes a brief cameo appearance in the film Vikram. Is this a foreshadowing of her larger and more prominent role in the franchise's third instalment? At this point, it is impossible to comment on anything. Lokesh is renowned for his thrilling films, though.
Vikram is currently streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
