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.

especially sujatha's dialogues was very poignant in fact this was his first venture in dialogues and the film script was also written in form of a novel in a tamil weekly. In the novel's prologue sujatha has given credit to kamalhassan ( producer, actor and co writer) for his inputs.I think this is the only one novel which was done for film and later came as a novel normally it will be the viceversa. Vikram was the first important film from south India in terms of science fiction rather than magical. After this film kamal and sujatha joined and worked for many other films like Indian, marudhanayagan etc... and sujatha was a active member in kamal's discussion team and ironically kamal's speech about sujatha after death quoted that "one cannot judge sujatha's creative skills by seeing his work in films "
Vikram!.. The Catchy Title Theme, New Electronic Gadgets, Salamia, Salamaian Language were all the things which made this film stand unique among the 80s films.
Made at a high budget of that time, The Film had a Horse Pace first-half followed by a Camel Pace Second Half.
Kamal Haasan potrayed Agent Vikram with a classy and cool touch. Whereas the highlight was the role played by Sathyaraj and Janagaraj. They literally nailed it with their sarcasm and funny gestures respectively. The best thing about this film is the stunts which were done in real by Haasan. Director Rajasekhar has done a great work. The Cinematography of the Title song were beauty in the sight. Maestro Ilaiyaraaja gave a timeless classic album and a beautiful background score.
Overall this 80s thriller never fails to entertain you..

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.

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 !......
