Vikram

A cheesy masala version of James Bond with a touch of Indiana Jones. The film also made sure to copy all the bad aspects of those films with the good. The ridiculousness of the whole movie is hilarious so it won't be boring. And for the Tamil industry of that time, this was such a massive production that props should be given to Kamal Haasan to pull it off like this, even though it's aged poorly.

Satyaraj's megalomaniac villain role is definitely the most entertaining part of the movie. Even though I have seen a lot of Malayalam movies of Lissy, it's the first time I'm watching her where she has so much to do in a film and now feel like she was very underutilized by both the industries.

It's the first time I'm watching a young Dimple Kapadia and I didn't know how hot she was. She was mesmerizing and to think, I only thought of her as the conservative mother role she's been doing in the recent years!

Kamal Haasan said in a recent interview that he had an idea which was deemed too much for this movie, which is adapted into the new Vikram movie. I can't imagine anything more over the top than what is already in this movie.

It's also a bit uncanny how much of this movie mirrors the iconic aspects of Assassins Creed stealth,

Yes we should say this is a Sci-Fi movie of that time (80's).

ICBM is a dream for India on that time, the Computers with Tamil text was nearly impossible. Science fiction does speaks the "not so far future" too.

The way the movie goes, the opening RPG shot, Sathyaraj's intro, Sujatha's dialogs, the comedy scene's at Salamia are well taken. The innocent politician.

We well know that the scene's are from different H/W movies, but the way Kamal presented the movie for Tamil audience is nice. Every one in the movie did there role perfectly.

This is the Second Sci-fi after M.G.R's Kalaiarasi.

9/10- because for non originality.

This was a typical Kamal Haasan Movie, that will get less appreciation when it is released but will get more applause later on. Kamal haasan has carried the movie on his shoulders and he has sung the title song too.

A Sci-fi movie with missiles, different languages, camels and deserts and head shots. Songs are composed by Ilayaraja and are very soothing and are of different genres. Locations and dialogues are crisp and clean and gives you a good suspense movie feel.

Lissy and Dimple kapadia sizzles in this movie and there are a couple of Lip-locks too.

This movie is one of my all time favorites in Tamil Films ! ! Saw this movie way back in '86 during my schooldays and since then, have seen it nearly 15- 16 times till now.. Even a month before (on Jun 1, 2006), me and my friend went to this film when it was screened in a theatre (Manis) near Hope College, Coimbatore..

The beauty with this film is it's quality. U can't imagine to have this factor in tamil films taken during the '80s (Except, of course in Kamal movies at that time). This movie has excellently been filmed . Add to that four beautiful song numbers and fantastic fight sequences. U'll get Vikram ! ! !

Kamal has written this movie along with Sujatha. Sujatha's stories always have that fantasy factor hided within . They both combine together to give this superb exhibition of adventure.

Also, the songs are just great to hear (and watch ). The title song "Vikram" reminds one about the title sequences in Bond movies. This song provides a nice intro to what lies in store in the movie . . Also, 'vanithamani', 'En jodi manjackuruvi' and 'Meendum vaa' are beautifully taken..

One has to appreciate Late. Mr.Rajasekar for directing such a movie. He is the apt director for such a film. Has some great films behind his name (Padikkadhavan, Maaveeran etc..). He has successfully handled movie greats like kamal, Amjad khan and Dimple..

Also, I can't forget the villain 'SugirdhaRaja' played by the Comic Sathyaraj. He always has provided superb support to kamal as villain in most of his films at that period (like Sattam en kaiyil, Jappanil kalyanaraman, Kaaki sattai etc.. to name a few).. Here too , he has handled the character effectively, and at times, has scored more than Kamal himself..

Totally, this is a great treat to watch and remains as a blockbuster and a trend setter ! ! ! (My only regret with this film is that a sequel has not been taken till date) ! ! !

Vikram was one of the most ambitious project on 1980s . Kamal and Sujatha's collaboration tried to deliver a good Sci-Fi action thriller at that time . Making style was good . First half was intresting , but Second half was bit struggling to take story forward . Kamal gave a marvelous performance . Sathyaraj as antagonist gave a show stealing performance , his characterisation and mannerism was impressive . I really liked the way the designed the fictional Country Salamia . Songs were just mind blowing , especially Vikram title song , even it's visuals were stunning . Ilaiyaraaja ayya 🛐 . We should really appreciate cinematography , especially some of the action sequence were well captured . Overall eventhough it's old movie and underwhelming 2nd half , it never fails to entertain and impress .

Vikraaaaaaam !......
