My cobra review:
I will start with the positives
1. ARR:
The songs were, as usual amazing especially "Thumbi thumbi thullalo"..oh God and srinidhi shetty's dance really no words to say. Superb choreography and other songs also composed very well. What I feel is, he has kept many unwanted BGMs at scenes which can be reduced.
2. Vikram:
Vikram in a dual role. I think he has nailed the performance and I know he and kamal hassan sir is the only dedicated actor in tamil industry, who gives full dedication to his career. In this movie, he has made many disguising roles by planning to kill the VVIPs around the world. The maths-genius character getting a disorder called "Hallucination" has many mistakes. Hallucination is nothing but, they can bring the characters those who are all died, I think his mother character miya George would be enough. But, why they bought anandraj, kathir-small boy, mirnalini ravi and the maths professor. It seems to be bit heavy Hallucination for vikram. On another side, the hacker character also played well but scoring was too low.
3. Meenakshi Govindarajan:
She has given her best to her character and the way she explained the case to Irfan pathan bought this character to audience. A maths-genius who solves all the issues and helps the police team. Really she has made a good job l. Hope she gets more movie opportunities.
4. Irfan pathan:
I was thinking like a fahadh fasil in Vikram movie by investigating the case. But at the climax he was insulted by all. Really a legendary bowler for Indian team, might have got more importance to character but failed at climax.
5. Srinidhi shetty:
Gorgeous woman. She also acted very well and gave her importance to the character. Pleading and waiting for her love from vikram.
6. Roshan Matthews:
He has also acted very well as character "Rishi". A complete negative role trying to kill the twins.
7. Negatives:
The story has little lags and that college portion is unwanted. Why they have kept those scenes I can't understand Really. Or they would have kept like what Vikram did during the college. Unnecessarily, because of accident both the victim(sarjano khalid) and mirnalini ravi got felt to love. No connection to this storyline. Because of this the movie went slower to 3 hours. Also unwanted BGMs at places, it can be avoided.
Overall, a one-time watchable film.
Rating = 3/5
