Vikram Vedha

The style of movie which i was expecting for a long long time in the indian film industry... The mindgame of the highest range explored in the pakkaa local style.. The amazing narration with the background of Vikram Vetal Stories is very interesting, Madhavan's acting is very matured and Vijay Setupathy took his acting to the next level by his film... In some extent - Race 3 and this film are of same type. But in race 3. the twists are without even 1 paisa logic and this film - outstanding twists with overoutstanding logics and stories !!!! The best action and thriller movie i have seen till date....

Vikram Vedha is a story happens between a criminal and a cop who is trying with his all might to catch him. The story line or script from just outset looks ordinary. But it certainly have some twists and turns with some degree of unpredictability. So the story is not really boring. People might be able to guess what is happening in the middle of the film but the granular revealings will keep the audience with suspense. Film has a 8+ ratings but it is not worth that . When we compare with different genre of 8+ films in Hollywood and Bollywood this film is overrated in that front. Because this does not bring that additional uniqueness in the story as well as acting. Majority of the Kollywood might like this spicy formula of hero and villain hence this will surely have a higher rating by the same audience. Madhavan is a good actor but Vijay Sethupathi who plays the criminal clearly out score Madhavan. Villain is doing the hard yards in this story and he has to keep a right balance between not becoming the Madhavan type hero but becoming a hero in his own right. He has done a fantastic job with his character. This film is suitable when you are ready for a action but not too 'action' bored movie.

One of the best thing happened to Kollywood after Thani Oruvan. Same punch but a great plot. Vikram and Vedha were absolutely phenomenal and casting was super cool. The main talking point of this movie is the direction. You can see some minute directorial brilliance through out the movie. Some of them were really cool. 1) When Vedha approached the police station to surrender . While walking he threw some snacks to the police dog out there. That scene was so cool which proclaims the Vedha's intention "Yeah. I am gonna give you some thing to boost up your little mind Police dog". That's exactly what he did to Madhavan on the following scenes. 2) We can notice Madhavan's Mentaility through his T shirts. Which was white on the beginning and became grey later. There are many simple scenes throughout this movie. That's what so cool about this movie. It will make you re watch the movie again and again. My rating : 9/10

After a very long time This effort is a Bench Mark. Superbly crafted and Presented.Hats off to the Team behind this Amazing Master creation. Classic touches are Screen Play,Casting,Art Direction , Costume, Camera ,Lights....And BG Score. The Team has thoroughly worked on all the possible areas to make this Film a Master creation. The Direction Team (Gayathri ,Pushkar) The first was a KO punch with "Oram Po!" and later "Va Quarter Cutting" I would say this is a new way to handle Indian Cinema with Intelligence and Logics. Worth the money and a real Action packed thrill ride ...!Its so nice to see a Lead cast with Nose Ring Bold and Beautiful.

There's a hint of purposeful suspense in the proceedings that lead to some of the most amusing scenes in Vikram Vedha. Yet the overlong, plotholes-ridden screenplay wreaks havoc to what would have been an otherwise tight watch. This neo-noir thriller about righteousness has two people at the center of its conflict - a hard cop and a similarly hard gangster - both of whom believe that what they have done (killed people) and are doing (killing more people) is justified. It is when their philosophies chafe against each other that they realize that they may not be actually right. Watching Vikram Vedha unfold as the gangster (Vijay Sethupathi) takes his adversary (Madhavan) back to his life through three stories is highly engaging, but somewhere in the middle in an attempt to look intelligent it slips and falls on the ground flat. The convoluted story then gasps for breath so as to further surprise its expecting audience - one twist after another. The huge number of characters - who dance in the screen thanks to the non-linear narrative - help Vikram Vedha don the hat of a master thriller, but when you disassemble it down to the nail, it ends up looking like those cop-gangster stories that you have seen countless times in Tamil and Malayalam cinema. What it does differently is talk about ethics and legitimacy in the fields of law breaking and enforcement. Vikram Vedha scores more points because of the fantastic performances by Sethupathi and Medhavan, but as a film, it's just about one notch higher than average. TN.

Summary :- Just an over hyped boring movie. Definitely not worth giving 2 hours. Too much dramatization. Average story. Characters lack depth, too much special effects rather then intense acting. Don't know how do people rate it more then 4?
