Watch it for: Vijay Sethupathi, Action Scenes, Kamal Hasan Don't expect anything like Kaithi or Maanagaram I will not say I have not become fan of Lokesh Kanagraj's direction after watching Kaithi, Kaithi is built up on sharp performances of average actors ( except Vijay ) and superb direction, story line, filmography, superb background music since 'Master' director started experimenting with established actors, and as with bollywood, when an actor becomes star - his stardom over shadows his character in the movie- south film industry also could not remain unaffected. Unlike Maanagaram and Kaithi, director relied on Stars on both of his latest creations - Master and Vikram. Vikram's story starts with a sharp special agent but keeps jumping to many characters of the movie. The moment you feel now story line is created, a new event or character unsettles everything. Unnecessary references to characters or events of previous movies just reminds how good his direction used to be - viewers exclaims in hall - but it does not sustains. In Kaithi, suspense along with nice BGM at right time and events creates magic, but in Vikram - even beating an unarmed senior police officer has been tried to spice up with extravagant music. Director seems to highly influenced by Denzel Washington of Equalizer where he keeps watching at his hand watch - but in Vikram - don't know how Kamal Hasan's looking repeatedly at his hand watch relates to anything. Also, Mr. Lokesh Kanagraj, seems to be a fan of Dark Knight series so he has used "mask man's" voice to impress the viewers - but by the end of movie there is no mask and not any suspenseful voice. At the ending, as it is trend now a days with all movies and web series - it is said to be brain child by Ekta Kapoor - directors put lots of details for next installment, L. Kanagraj has also tried hard by adding entry of another Super Star of South industry and the whole team of Kaithi. No doubt people are brought to movie halls because of superb marketing. But, ye public hai, very soon public starts responding if they find the 'Gol Gappas' of the street vendor are no more have same tastes.below expectations

Watch it for : 1. Stupendous speed of story telling, director keeps viewers thrilled with strategically introducing new characters while not compromising the roles of previous season characters 2. Acting - definitely Arunodoy Singh, Nidhi Sigh to all side actors has improved their performance. I think it is right to say lead actors to first timer like Snehil Dixit Mehra a.k.a 'BC Aunty' had got a challenging role which they played well. 3. Shooting Locations - Team has chosen to experiment with new locations like Hrishikesh and Belgrade, and it is really cool. Viewers definitely wanted some new scenic experiments which 'Apaharan 1 and 2' has delivered. 4. Filmography and editing - since the first series, you would notice same tone of light effect either it is bar or ganga ghat, cameraman has done terrific work eihter showing character of 6 feet or 'dhaai man', running scene in crowd of Hrishikesh or fighting scene in Belgrade fort. 5. Dialouges - if you understand pecularities of Indian society you will feel dialouges are the spirit of this show - of course you can ignore the 'Gaalis' as you ignore sex in hollywoood movies - you know they are real but at the same time not literal, enjoy them or ignore them - and actor Arunodoy Singh's voiceover has marked a noticeable impact Overall, team has delivered a wonderful drama series.
