The buildup and marketing to Lokesh Kanagaraj's Kamal Hassan starrer "Vikram" has been nothing short of all-encompassing, driven primarily by the fact that the 36-year old young director is yet to direct a sub-par movie, with "Maanagaram (2017)", "Kaithi (2019)" and "Master (2021)", all having been well-received by audiences. And the precocious storyteller delivers, with a mazy yet continuously engaging crime saga with resounding mass elevation sequences and enough emotional hooks to keep the audience invested.

3-time National Award winner for Best Actor Kamal Hassan stars as a grieving father heartbroken at the loss of his son, who was a policeman investigating the burgeoning drug mafia in Chennai and who had, before his mysterious murder, uncovered a staggering cache of illegal drugs the syndicate safeguarded . Enter Fahadh Faasil, a black ops specialist charged with unraveling the mystery around the carnage unleashed by the cartel as a result. Vijay Sethupathi stars as the head honcho of the vicious and vengeful mafia operation and is first shown to the audience in one of the most intricately weaved, deliciously bonkers intro sequences for an antagonist in recent memory.

It is testament to Lokesh Kanagaraj's directorial genius that he manages to give his three lead actors enough room to develop their characters and build a connect with the viewers. If it is Sethupathi's quirky eccentricities that catch the eye, Fahadh's intensity weaves a subplot of its own while Kamal excels in the emotional sequences. Lokesh Kanagaraj had told us to rewatch his classic "Kaithi (2019)" before we went to theaters to watch "Vikram" and with good reason, with the two movies being intricately connected and seemingly leading up to an extensive LKU-A mouth-watering Lokesh Kanagaraj Universe! A fantastic cameo from superstar Suriya is the cherry on the cake, with the actor looking the most stylish and massy he has in years!

The director's penchant for crime thrillers, retro music and biryani continues to hold good for "Vikram" with Anirudh Ravichander's music rendering a soaring sheen to the narrative being built. The callbacks and references to old Kamal classics blend smoothly with the storytelling and are never jarring or contrived. The actor's phenomenal voice modulation and expressive eyes elevate even simple sequences to another level, especially his interactions with his toddler grandson.

Master stunt choreographer duo Anbariv continue the same rich vein of form they displayed in the KGF franchise, but this time sacrificing the larger canvas for more close-quarters, hand-to-hand combat in tight spaces. Girish Gangadharan's cinematographer is other-worldly as usual, soaking up the bone-crunching action in all its glory. Editor Philomin Raj also deserves praise for ensuring that a movie with a seemingly daunting 3 hour run-time is never boring at any stretch.

While you might see many of the plot's twists coming, the visual grammar, treatment and picturization takes your breath away, nevertheless. "Vikram" is yet another endeavor from a superstar fanboy that pays rich dividends, along the lines of Prithviraj's Mohanlal tribute "Lucifer (2019)", Karthik Subbaraj's Rajnikanth-starrer "Pettah (2019)" as well as Amal Neerad's ode to Mammootty, "Bheeshma Parvam (2022)". Highly recommended! Long live the Lokesh Kanagaraj universe!

Not Kamal Haasan Not Fahad Fazil Not Vijay Sethupathi Not Surya Lokesh is the Real Hero

Utilised the Cast perfectly ... BGM, Theatre Experience was lit 🔥

Very engaging screenplay and overall great performances by all stars. A lot of fan moments to enjoy. Looking forward to future installments of the Vikram series. Congratulations to Lokesh and team.

#Vikram - Fire Fire Fire 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Best cinematic experience l've ever had in recent times ,action packed second half deserves multiple watch! @ikamalhaasan , Fafa, @VijaySethuOffl& @Suriya_offl- what a treat to watch all these powerful performers in one film 🙏 @Dir_Lokesh.

Excellent story, well-knit and full of exciting climaxes, performances are to die for, music and action choreography are both striking.

KH- charming, strong, ageless and confident as ever, couldn't take my eyes off that man.

He is a WOW!

VS- a unique performer and each of his work is like a case study. That auto rickshaw scene was Ssssuperb!

FF- fierce and hideous, he evolves with every role with an unbeatable impact on his audience.

Oh, that housemaid delivered a mind blowing performance. She was so cool 👏👏👏

All Three KamalHassan, FahadFaasil, VJSethupathi Dominates & Drives the Whole movie, which they kept us on Edge of the Seat. Best & Continuous Action & Violence Sequences Made in Recent times Better than KGF < Vikram. Loki's Writing Screenplay Direction Makes us shocks - Twists - Goosebumps - Repeat. Waiting for his Multiverse Connections. Anirudh Extraordinary, Stunning, HollywoodRange BGM😳 was unbelievable. Young Anirudh was Proud of TamilCinema & Gem for IndianIndustries. ActionPacked Must watch Thriller Totally Made for Theatre experience.

From last few years south Indian PAN movies are surprising us with their content and Kamal sir is legend. This movie has so may south superstar and movie is action thriller and story gives you thrill.

Go for this movie if you are fan of action thriller movie.

Watched it solely because of the reviews, but senseless violence from beginning to end, without any sense.

Copied key themes from equaliser, project power and many Hollywood movies to end up as a projection of majority of movie goers today. Call a spade a spade, submit your honest reviews in future..

Only problem is there might be a second part coming..

KH is back with a bang in this action movie. The action scenes are raw and chilling. Every character has brilliant characteristics and are used brilliantly to the screenplay. Fahad Fazil has a good emotional part. Do watch if you like raw action movies!!

This is a movie which Indian cinema should respect ..nothing gonna stand between Vikram ...best no words. Kamal as a lion ..sethupathi a elephant and Fahad as a tiger and finally Surya hahahha and anirudh and Loki awesome.

This was literally out of imagination. We can say that this was one steps further to KGF -2.

I don't know where South Indian Industries are going, but the way they move, it's going to be tough for KOREAN FILM INDUSTRY & HOLLYWOOD INDUSTRY.

This is the must-watch movie to feel the theater experience.

After a long waited Vikram finally hit the theatres . Loki nailed the screenplay. No more words about universal Hero kamal hasaan he is one of the legendry actor in Indian industry. Fahadh fassil and Vijay sethupathy lived the character.

At last Vikram will be profitable venture for Tamil industry. Even though the film released in pan India for Tamil it will be a block bluster .

Forget about suriya and ani (wow) that's it.

Waiting for vikram 2

Loki one request need karthi in part 2 without him it will be a half plated meals.

The greatest challenge for Lokesh Kanagaraj, as a filmmaker, wasn't just to offer several hoot-worthy moments for fans of Kamal Hassan, but to come up with a first-of-its-kind pure action film featuring a trio of actors who are known for their spectacular performances. His packaging totally delivers, with a fantastic outing for all the guys involved. Plotwise speaking, Vikram is basically The Batman set in Chennai. A serial killer is on the loose, and a special ops team is tasked with finding the culprit. While that's just one way of putting it across, Vikram is a lot beyond that. It's also about a father avenging his son's death, and a massive drug bust; it's also about gangsters, special agents, and rogue cops - Lokesh's universe-building skills are excellent!

I'm SO GLAD Lokesh chose these actors to play their respective roles. Vijay Sethupathi's antagonist act is even more menacing than the one in Master, and when he's high, he's next-level. Fahadh Faasil essentially holds the proceedings together in the first half, in a solid feat that keeps getting better. As for Hassan, this is a film where the director just lets him run amok, going absolutely wild in the set-pieces. Speaking of the set-pieces (choreographed by Anbariv), these are some of the most well-crafted and staged works you'll see in an Indian film in a good while. DOP Girish Gangadharan captures all the pyro-filled beauty of the action, while also using close-ups to pick up the subtler expressions of the dashing trio.

And there is no Vikram without Anirudh Ravichander, whose remarkable music and background score elevate the film to greater heights. The riff-filled theme music is one that'll stay on my playlist for a pretty long time. The editing by Philomin Raj ensures a certain pace to the film's events, even when it shows signs of slowing down. Suriya's late entry sparks even more delight when he's playing a full-blown baddie, with chances of him squaring off against Dilli (from Kaithi) all the more possible now. Yes, (re)watch Kaithi before seeing Vikram for an enhanced universe-building experience.

All I could hear for the past few days is that Vikram is such an awesome movie and all. So naturally, I had so much expectations. I have to say I wasn't satisfied. But I wasn't disappointed either.

The action sequences are well shot. Kamal, Fahad, Chemban Vinod(the police officer) nailed their roles. Anirudh does a great job with the background score and songs.

Keep your expectations low and you'll be in for a treat.

A best PAN INDIAN flim from tamilnadu RRR ---> Rocked Kgf ---->killed Vikram --->wrecked #Loki universe ...!

#Fanboy moment.

There are dozens of reviews on this site claiming that "Vikram" is the next best thing since sliced bread, so, you're probably wondering is there any truth to those claims. Is Vikram really a movie that could globally be viewed as masterpiece?

Not really. Becase, even though "Vikram" has an interesting and quick start and keeps up the pace for the rest of its runtime, it's still an Indian movie through and through. You will struggle with keeping up with countless characters the movie throws in your face and when the action starts, you won't have any doubts what is the country of origin of this movie. People are sent flying by punches of main characters and absurd and over the top moves are constantly being pulled off.

I also cannot understand the amazement with Kamal Haasan. Yes, he acts good, but I fail to see who saw a man in his late 60s and thought he would be a good fit for a lead in the action movie, going all John Wick on his enemies while looking like he's going to have to sit down because his back is hurting. Both storywise and factually, he is a grandpa on a revenge mission and if you don't suspend your disbelief, you will have a hard time believing he is capable of doing the things he can be seen doing in the movie.

Still, "Vikram" is entertaining enough and has good directing and style which shine outside of action scenes and in those moments "Vikram" really feels like something decent. Music is also great.

But then the action starts and, yeah, it quickly becomes impossible to treat this movie seriously. Overall, I give "Vikram" a 7/10! It's a good, entertaining movie, but nothing more than that and far from a masterpiece a lot of people on this site are trying to convince you it is.

Vikram is one of the most interesting and anticipating movie for everyone because of the massive star cast. After Pushpa, RRR and KGF Chapter 2, Vikram is released to roar. The film is a complete commercial paisa wasool movie.

First half of the movie is fantastic. Fahadh Faasil is the best young actor in today's time according to me. He has done a superb job. Vijay Setupathy is a gem of an actor. I loved his entry scene here. No other actor can pull up this entry scene as he has done it. Other star cast is also very much suitable and provide a good support. First half belongs to FaFa and Vijay.

While, the second half is a treat for Kamal Haasan fans. Ulaga Nayagan- Kamal Haasan is extremely good in the post interval portion. You will be surprised to see him firing constantly from the giant machine gun. That scene is on another level.

Though, one may find first half awesome and second half a bit stretched. I found that there are some surprises in the later half, but there are a few blunders too. But just a few. Like I didn't get the scene of child re-breathing.

Special mention to the actress who played the role of a maid. She is superb.

Lokesh's direction is improving gradually. This film will be considered his finest directorial product. He has done a fine job, without getting caught by the idea of too much slow-motion, which many people hate including me, and which were too much in KGF. Though, this film is different from RRR and KGF, it can be compared with Pushpa. As part 2 is coming here too. People are going to love Surya as the bad guy in part two. Just a glimpse of him in the end was terrific.

Anirudhha has done his job superbly once again. The title theme music is on my mind while I'm writing this. Extraordinary music with a catchy tune is what Anirudhha offers to you!

On the whole, a must watch movie in theaters. This is how a good commercial south indian movie looks like. A good movie with stellar performances.

Filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj uses the talent of actors Fahadh Faasil, Vijay Sethupathi and Kamal Haasan brilliantly in his latest venture Vikram.

Vikram is a befitting comeback of Kamal Haasan to satiate his fans' 4-year-long hunger to see him on the big screen. The title Vikram is borrowed from the actor's own film which released in 1986. However, the story is set in director Lokesh Kanagaraj's cinematic universe wherein he has interlinked characters from his previous directorial Kaithi and the old Vikram. The music of the film is composed by Anirudh Ravichander and the dialogues are written by Rathna Kumar along with the director.

Lokesh Kanagaraj has loaded Vikram with a battalion of characters but he has ensured that all of them have their due scope to perform, even though some might have lesser screen time including 'Ulaga Naayagan'.

This simply shows his prowess as a writer who values his story over simply paying the fanboy tributes to his guru Kamal Haasan for the sake of it. But that doesn't mean there is a dearth of mass moments for his favorite star. Every time Kamal makes his entry, the background music with Anirudh's voice - 'Once upon a time, there lived a ghost' - feels electrifying, quite literally.

Vikram truly comes alive post the adrenaline-filled interval scene. Action is Lokesh's forte and the second-half has impressive stunts (stunt directors are Anbariv masters) and a superior camera work by Girish Gangadharan.

Watching Kamal Haasan, who is apparently 67 years old but certainly doesn't look that way on screen in this all new action avatar takes one back in time to the early days of the actor's career - younger and dapper.

The film is in a way an ode to the veteran actor with umpteen number of references from his older films like Kuruthipunal, Panchatanthiram, and Nayakan. Dark humour to detailing, all departments of Vikram have worked in unison to render a massive salute to the exemplary filmography of the legendary Kamal Haasan.

On the other hand, Vijay Sethupathi is remarkable as Santhanam especially in his whistle worthy and quirky introduction scene. Though it was refreshing to see him try out something new shedding off his usual Sethupathi-ness, his tight-lipped dialogue delivery instead of coming across as an interesting characterization was only a major distraction.

However, Fahadh Faasil steals the show with an all round performance exhibiting passion, love and revenge at perfect levels.

Kamal Haasan is, as has been emphasized already, fabulous. Vijay Sethupathi fleshes out an edgy criminal whose frazzled heart and addled mind push him in startling directions. Fahadh Faasil sails through his role with such aplomb that one can never have enough of him. How tantalizing is the prospect that the consummate show-stealer will be back to reprise the role - repeatedly hopefully - as the Lokesh Kanagaraj universe expands and moves into the future!

This is one of the best movie i have ever watched so far. Those who are posting negative comments, not sure what's their terms of good movie. Terrific acting, out standing direction. I don't have words to describe. Its a MUST Watch movie without any doubt.
