Vikram

The Tamil-language thriller Vikram has just premiered in theatres, but what do we know about the OTT streaming release of the new movie?

- “Wasted” – 3:03 - “Pathala Pathala” – 3:31 However, there are multiple outlets reporting that the ‘expected’ launch window is for August 2022.

Lokesh Kanagaraj's crime thriller also stars Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi.

He also gets to deliver soliloquies (some of them in English, of course), and the film does come to a halt when he is declaiming, but it also moves on to the other stars in the blood-splattered sky. In a film about the levels of deception, the biggest con job involves Kanagaraj’s ability to retain attention during an overlong and often brutal film. Although designed as a comeback vehicle for Kamal Haasan, who is also the producer, Vikram keeps its fandom in check. Not all of the 173 minutes is earned, especially since the plot can be dashed off on a paper napkin. Fittingly for a film involving drugs, there’s a narcotic quality to many moments. Vikram, a former undercover agent who leads a vigilante group that targets drug traffickers, is used to issuing commands and having them obeyed.

Kamal Haasan's Vikram leaves with an open ending and the scope for a potential sequel. The film, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj uses the talent brilliantly to ...

For instance, you will anticipate what’s coming during the interval block but that will not stop you from experiencing one of the best fan moments in the film. One of the killer action sequences in this film is similar to Kamal’s Vishwaroopam transformation scene. He keeps us guessing what’s next, rewarding us with a surprise at the most unexpected moments and happiness even when we guessed it right. Vikram is a befitting comeback of Kamal Haasan to satiate his fans’ 4-year-long hunger to see him on the big screen. On the other hand, Vijay Sethupathi is remarkable as Santhanam especially in his whistle worthy and quirky introduction scene. But that doesn’t mean there is a dearth of mass moments for his favorite star.

The movie stars Kamal Haasan, Shivani Narayanan, Vijay Sethupathi, and Fahadh Faasil. It also marks the return of Kamal Haasan to the silver screen after four ...

Kamal Haasan plays the role of a retired cop, who is reinstated to take charge. The 67-year-old actor, Kamal Hasaan, has displayed his acting prowess with the power-packed role in the action thriller. The movie stars Kamal Haasan, Shivani Narayanan, Vijay Sethupathi, and Fahadh Faasil. It also marks the return of Kamal Haasan to the silver screen after four years.

Lokesh Kanagaraj's film celebrates Kamal Haasan while falling squarely in the director's universe of warring criminals, the government and the police.

The filmmaking is storyboard, a blaze of glory reserved for each of the principal actors—Kamal, Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi—with Fahadh grabbing the meatiest part. The fanboy touches don’t bog him down and Kamal submits himself completely to the world of a filmmaker after a long time. Maanagaram, Kaithi and Master all had children driving a major plot point and there is a child—a baby, really—limiting the actions of the characters here. Vikram is a sequel to Kaithi (Stephen Raj, the reference to Vetri Vizha’s (1989) Kamal shows up again as do others) and continues and sets up its intricate plot in the same fashion. Master (2021) is the story of a villain who uses juvenile correctional facility as a sling shot to commit and cover his crimes. Kaithi (2019) is a road movie with a prisoner joining hands with a narcotics bureau officer to safely ship poisoned seniors of the police force to safeguard a ton of drugs that the officer’s team seized.

Vikram Box Office Review (Hindi): Starring Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi & Fahadh Faasil, film is high on content but has its limitations.

Of course, miracles have happened, but in this case, it looks very tough and that’s the sad truth. The film has taken a thunderous start in its original Tamil version, however, in Hindi, it’s terribly low. Unfortunately, among Hindi speaking audiences, the film had an overall dull pre-release buzz.

Vikram's first half is a fascinating exercise, marked by surprisingly swift appearances from Kamal Haasan, playing Karnan (and later, Vikram).

And yet, Vikram’s merits lie in how Lokesh refuses to have succumbed to the temptation of making a film that sings paeans for the superstar. Much like the morality of both characters, I’ll have to say it lies somewhere in between, and much like those two men, the film does tilt towards the good. But where the English film, despite being about all the action, was a thorough dissection of humanity, of the sacrifice it takes to do good, of the interdependency of good and evil, Vikram is largely content to capture the carnage. In another, there’s the beautiful idea of a man forced to kill many men in order to be able to feed a baby. You learn that their boss is Sandhanam (Vijay Sethupathi, playing a drug-addled, quirky boss). I liked that Sethupathi experiments with his look and dialogue delivery in this film. Fahadh Faasil gets ample screen time to express himself, and I enjoyed that even his relationship with Gayathrie, as hurried as it is, feels fresh.

'Vikram' starring Kamal Haasan, Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead roles has released in theatres on June 3. The movie is an action thril.

Sharing his look from 'Vikram', actor Suriya thanked Lokesh kanagaraj and said that he loved being on the sets with the director and his whole team. One of the Twitter user requested audience to enjoy the film and the talent the cast and crew has showcased in 'Vikram'. The user wrote, "Apram 20 varusham kazhichu, ellarum varuvaanga... Kamal Haasan's fans have flocked the theatre to watch the film 'Vikram' . The film has been receiving positive reviews and Lokesh Kanagaraj is being critically acclaimed and praised for directing a good movie. The Kamal sir fan in me is super excited❤️" 'Vikram' starring Kamal Haasan, Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead roles has released in theatres on June 3. So here's a small recap to the old film of Kamal Haasan.

Hitlist Review - Kamal Haasan is fabulous. Vijay Sethupathi fleshes out an edgy criminal whose frazzled heart and addled mind push him in startling ...

Amar (Faasil), a policeman who operates in the shadows and is deployed only for top secret missions, is called in to nab a gang of mysterious masked men who are believed to be responsible for the killings. Kamal Haasan packs a punch as an action-oriented character who is capable of being mindful of his advancing years and paternal instincts. It is for the super sleuth Amar to discover the missing pieces and complete the jigsaw puzzle. However, as the pace of the film settles and the flurry of details gives way to steadier plot exposition, it all begins to fall in place and soar. The deal is that, with Kamal Haasan stepping away from the spotlight, the script carves out space for Fahadh Faasil, in the guise a plainclothes cop who specializes in dangerous undercover operations, to make his presence felt. The film has it all - espionage, serial killings, vigilantism, a covert police investigation and a drug bust that unleashes mayhem.

After a good advance booking for day one, film trade analyst Ramesh Bala is confident that Vikram will soon cross the Rs 100 crore mark in Tamil Nadu ...

This is a clear-enough proof that he is currently the country’s best. Sandhanam (Vijay Sethupathi), a dreaded drug lord, is one of the suspects. The film begins with a series of murders and a black ops team, headed by Amar (Fahadh Faasil), is handed the case. For Kamal fans, nostalgia is wrapped beautifully in dialogues as we are reminded of ‘Nayakan’, and many other classics. The first half, which rests on the shoulders of Fahadh, isn’t gripping enough but it’s still a neat build up to the film’s bigger highlights. The technically-superior filmmaker, in his most ambitious project yet, has made a compelling, violent, action film, which is a treat for the fans of the genre.

Kamal Haasan-starrer Vikram had a great first day at the box office. · The film is expected to enter the Rs 100 crore club in Tamil Nadu itself very soon.

Manobala Vijayabalan predicts that the film will secure third place in the list of top opening movies at the TN box office in 2022. While the actual box office figures are awaited, the film’s box office numbers are way more than just promising. The film also stars Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil in lead roles.

Prior to this only Vijay, Ajith and Rajnikanth starrers have collected Rs. 20 crores on opening day in Tamil Nadu and after that, there was a huge gap in ...

The film breached the Rs. 20 crores mark on opening day in Tamil Nadu, making it the only eighth film ever to do so and only the fourth to do it on a non-holiday. Karnataka also fared strongly with Rs. 3.25 crores opening day while Telugu states delivered another Rs. 3 crores. Prior to this only Vijay, Ajith and Rajnikanth starrers have collected Rs. 20 crores in a day in the state and after that, there was a huge gap in the next best openers from Kollywood, with anything barely crossing even Rs. 10 crores. The film has opened strongly overseas as well and there is a good shot at hitting Rs. 50 crores globally for opening day when full numbers are compiled. For now Rs. 85 crores plus All-India weekend is all but certain, with a shot at hitting Rs. 90 crores in three days itself. With Vikram, Kamal Haasan has closed that gap, putting numbers similar to the trio.

Kamal Haasan's latest release Vikram recorded an opening collection of ₹23.5 crore. This is the highest opening day collection for Kamal in Tamil Nadu.

Vikram, which stars Suriya in a cameo, sets up the stage for a franchise in the making. As per trade sources, the film has minted ₹23.50 crore in Tamil Nadu, making it the career-best opening for Kamal Haasan in the state. He returns as former agent Vikram of the coveted Black Squad which used to work for the Indian government.

The first reviews are in for the highly anticipated Vikram movie, so how have critics rated the Kamal Haasan-led action blockbuster?

Though the film starts on a very slow note in the first half, things get into top gear with an action-packed second half and entertain the audience. Mirchi9 give the lowest score from the major outlets in their review of Vikram, noting how the “length, lack of emotional connect and routine climax” are the major drawbacks. There is enough to attract you to the theatres and it is all worth. The writing is fine throughout. “Vikram is a mass entertainer that does not alienate the ones who try to find meat in a film. Vikram needed a few more such moments to have been truly memorable.” – M Suganth, via The Times of India.
