The biggest problem with Kadaram Kondan was the content was only worth 30-45 mins of screen time at max, with most of it coming in the second half. With this level of content, Rajesh M Selva would have had better chances with a short film. This wafer thin storyline led to the following negative aspects:
1. A big chunk of the movie comprised of stunts, fights, Vikram's style and slow motion shots and the romance track between Abi Hassan and Akshara Hassan.
2. Since the main story had to be told in the second half, the first half had many dragged out scenes which really didn't add too much value to the eventual story.
3. With Vikram being one of the central characters around whom the story revolves in the second half, there wasn't enough depth in his characterisation.
There were a few positives in the movie too like the visuals (Thaarame Thaarame song visuals in particular), Ghibran's BGM, Vikram's screen presence. But without a proper story, none of these can save a movie.
If you want to catch Vikram on screen, MAYBE you can give this a shot. Else, it's worthy to give this a miss and wait for its release in any of the digital platforms.
