VikramVedha Review By Cinemapuram Team


















VIKRAM VEDHA - An intelligent COP-GANGSTER battle. Very few films by creating such a huge hype live up to its expectations, but here VikramVedha totally exceeds our expectations and makes us watch the film in awe with a power packed screenplay. Pushkkar-Gayathri will reach heights after this strong writing and film making.

Super good gangster flick of Kollywood. Movie scores with picture perfect cast. This cat n mouse game entertains with intelligence. Maddy - VijaySethupathy chemistry simply terrific. Each scene they appear together is pure mass.

To begin with, Vikram Vedha is a movie that redefines the age old cop versus criminal cliché drama, by delivering it on a completely new palette. Huge gutsy and waiting game played by director duo Pushkar and Gayathri are coming back to the big screen after a solid hiatus close to a decade after "Va Quarter Cutting". Vikram Vedha personifies their strong comeback in the best way possible which wouldn’t have been possible without the non-egoistic lead cast essayed by Vijay Sethupathi and  Madhavan.

Not only is the film entertaining from start to finish, it’s equally engaging and it succeeds in testing the intellect of audiences unlike any recent film in Kollywood.

Madhavan performs such a kickass role with ease and it just shows he is not a "Chocolate Boy" anymore. Maddy - Vikram's attitude mind blowing characterisation. Vijay Sethupathi on the other hand just blows us away with his deadly and menacing performance. This man surely has swagness up his sleeve and unleashes it, making the audiences go crazy. He has more scope in the script than Maddy. The rest of the cast Shraddha Srinath has a good part to play, while Varalakshmi Sarathkumar gets to be a pivot to the film by being Kathir's love interest, watch out for her left-hand mannerism.

On the technical side, PS Vinod’s camera and his lighting create the intensity and mood for the neo- noir genre the film deals in, backed with amazing music and background score by Sam CS, especially the BGM of "Karrupu Vellai" cut by editor Richard Kevin is a treat on the big screen.

The dialogues are thrown all over to the audience posing relevant questions about good and evil and the choices one makes in our lives. The reverse chronology screenplay and attention to the minutest detail increases the pulse till the very end until the killer payoff at the climax.

NEGATIVES - Second half little bit slow in its screenplay but this film is beyond all that and it is a classic take of stellar filmmaking.

Cinemapuram's VERDICT - STUNNING !! Brilliantly written and exemplary performances make #VikramVedha a MUST WATCH !!!
