VIKRAM was one of essentially the most anticipated films from the Tamil film trade, and successful the hearts of folks all around the world. Lokesh Kanagaraj directs this film, which stars 67-year-old legend Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil in outstanding roles. Vikram is a religious sequel to Kamal’s 1986 film of the identical identify. Just earlier than the discharge of Vikram, Lokesh requested followers to overview his former film Kaiththi, and one discovers that this film picks up the place that film left off. The Tamil Nadu Narcotics Bureau conducts drug raids across the state when two containers of medicine vanish into skinny air. Sandhanam (Vijay Sethupathi) and the native drug distribution gangs should retrieve the lacking narcotics earlier than the notorious drug boss Rolex (Suriya) finds out.
Meanwhile, the medicine company witnesses the homicide of a number of of its officers, together with Prapanjan (Kalidas Jayaram), by a masked gang that vows struggle on the system. To catch them, police chief Jose (Chemban Vinod Jose) dispatches a particular black ops squad commanded led by Amar (Fahadh Faasil). We meet Karnan (Kamal Haasan), an alcoholic womaniser who seems to be extra fascinated by scuffles than being a good grandpa to his grandchild. It is then revealed that Karnan is truly agent Vikram (from the 1986 film) on a mission to carry down the narcotics cartel. Fahadh virtually takes the image on his shoulders within the first half, which performs out like a racy thriller; the film swings between quite a few eventualities, creating curiosity with a heart-thumping background soundtrack.
Kamal is unquestionably the star right here, a cinema celebrity in 5 Indian languages with a six-decade profession, however Lokesh backs him up with excellent actors in each position. All of the actors listed here are succesful of starring in their very own film. Kamal is again in motion after years, and it makes me proud that the actor embraces his age on film. He can nonetheless battle males single-handedly and you’ll sit and luxuriate in with out questioning something. Fahadh will get to play essentially the most fascinating position, as he modifies all through the film. There is a street that results in his submission to illegal justice, and with an actor of his expertise, it solely will get totally lovely. Vijay Sethupathi reprises his position as a villain and provides a lot to a determine who might have been portrayed.
Suriya’s cameo as Rolex was impactful, regardless of showing for less than 5 minutes. Lokesh started the story in a fascinating and fascinating method. The plot rockets to new heights, and the twists in Kamal’s character depart everybody on the sting. Anirudh Ravichander’s background rating is one other asset. Vikram’s climax lays the bottom for a sequel, which, if made, can be one other casting success for Lokesh. It alludes to at least one of Tamil cinema’s most thrilling actor duel. Tamil film has not had a lot success with sequels, however let’s hope that agent Vikram returns quickly.
