I
wasn’t sure to write a review on the interesting action crime thriller Vikram
Vedha, because many have given great reviews about the Tamil feature film, but
like to note down few things that impressed me. The title itself would give
clue that the movie is based on the concept of Vikramadithyan Vedhalam ghost
story, where Vedhalam ask questions hugging from the back of Vikrama, the king
to quest answer through the stories he narrate.
Vikram Vedha
has Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi and it isn’t a regular cop movie but a very
interesting and different level of play between an encounter specialist and
notorious gangster. First thing I felt watching the opening scene (shooting
between police and gangsters) was Gautham Menon’s movie, though I know it was Pushkar-Gayathri’s
combo (who made Auto and Va Q cutting) the action sequence were such casual
that no one could expect at such a venture.
The name Vedha
continued to travel for some time into the movie creating hype and sounding demon,
were all broke into particles the way Vijay Sethupathi entered the scene in his
own idle style of walk. What applaud from the audience! He appears in front of
cops and escapes, revealing a story with questions to let Vikram answer through
his investigation and at the end of each story Vedha escapes leaving a clue to
glue on seat.
The balance
between the Madhavan and Sethupathi had been handled well and they played an
excellent teeter-totter entertaining the people. Madhavan on his side exhibits
great body language and his rough tone is apt.to the role of cop and Sethupathi,
as young and mid-age did effortlessly the job of gangster and those watched his
movies could understand what I mean the effortless i.e. natural acting.
Though not so
parallel to the male dominate subject, the female characters of the movie do
speak even it’s for few scenes. Shraddha Srinath and Varalakshmi have raised
their voice and hand as well protecting their rights and liberty as
advocate and love affair of Kathir (of Kirumi fame) who played Vedha’s brother.
Shraddha is a wonderful choice for the wife of an encounter specialist, acted
pretty and though working again him their not let down relationship was
impressive.
Through Vikram
Vedha, Pushkar and Gayathri (the director duo) has touched an extremely high
level and also raised the expectation which I’m sure going to give them more
pressure to retain the success, although I don’t believe well done movies are the
best. Alike everyone else and being concerned on the interesting screenplay,
the songs and music doesn’t take attention and the BGM also resembled Miruthan.
Vikram Vedha - a nice suspense movie to watch in theatres and it’s a blockbuster already.

I'm a big fan of crime/action movies as long as they are done right and it sounds like this one is done well enough to capture your attention. I don't like when it's just a bunch of violence. I want a good plot. From what you're describing, it sounds like that's what this movie does.
Enjoy the rest of your week!

sounds interesting
I too watched the movie. Second part is going to be there!
Hello Jeevan!:) Ha ha!!! You saw a Hoopoe by the side of one of your roads, just like me. I wonder if there is a reason why they tend to favour the verges of roads and not fields!!! You know, I don't like scary movies, and don't watch anything with violence,...it keeps me awake at night. I'm sure this is a good film though, for those people who are braver than me!:)
Though I can't watch the movie because of language barrier, but I was a huge fan of Vikram Betal show that used to come decades back.
I am sure this will be a fun too (and already is).
Good review. Crime movies keep me in suspense. Have a fabulous day!
