WARNING-Trigger-Alert: The below review consists of statements which shares disturbing content that includes topics such as violence, blood-shed, physical abuse etc. “In the extremely competitive thick forest, I repeat, that the lion, tiger and leopard have won audiences with their performances which seems to be challenging each other.” Packing the first 30 minutes with huge blocks of perplexing data was kind of an overloading visual play, which was quite difficult to process. As and when you start to waver, or try to clasp the events that unfold, that s when these three legends attempt to give you the hang of it, until the fast pace settles down in an understandable track, in such a hypnotic way that gets you addicted and you cannot tear your eyes off them. This movie is a rapid racer script, sprinkled with intermittent goosebump moments. To ease off the high pressure, steam & tension, the light hearted humorous moments gives the audience, a much-needed break.
There are so many shocking twists & implausible turns in this crime-drenched plot which brands “Vikram” so intriguing & electrifying to watch. I don’t want to reveal anything because I felt that being one among the audience who thoroughly enjoyed the look, feel & make of this movie, selfishly desire that the person reading this should also experience that joy, as their very own to relish. I personally saw some people among the audiences, wherein their jaw literally dropped, or people covering their eyes/mouths to escape shock. The flabbergasted cinematography by Girish Gangadharan (myself a big fan of him) literally made the plot move swiftly with sundry startling directions that were shot so gorgeously, so mesmerizing, adding the picture-perfect colour to the bloated amount of grisliness. Thank you, sir, for manufacturing some blood-spattered gory scenes into dullness, because if I saw those in it’s true light it’s definitely going to be hard time forgetting it. I felt that the cinematic barging violence was a bit too strong, bringing out the continuous repertoire of explosions (my heart burst), chases (my heart raced), gunfights, fire blasts (my eyes flamed in their light), screaming bullets (my ears were ringing), hyper-heroic acts, horrendous stunt scenes, made my head spin, dizzy with adrenaline, I was staring in disgust and had jerky moments with all the surprise attack bloodshed, fleshy bloody scenes which I don’t want to see again, it would undeniably make my flesh crawl. I experienced a different type of horror and I feel “The Ghost” had done its job so well. I wouldn’t say that the movie is devoid of it ‘s flaws, here and there you may feel inky bits of boredom, that’s because it was too overwhelming for the mind to watch. Kamal Hassan: Long wait - 4 years, Mr. Nice Guy, after a long break, he s back in business! He who knows the tricks of the trade, knows what he wants, knows what to telecast, has flashed his flairs yet again with his “Andavar” act. Words fail me when I think of the hard work that he has put forth, considering his delicate aging body for the success of this movie. KH is fab, he’s fickle, he’s funny, he’s sensitive, yet so unpredictably manly in everything that he does, moves his lips to talk, the movie ‘s got all of these tough-to-get emotions rolling.
