Vikram movie review: what critics say (16)

What critics say Critics are mostly positive with reservations: 4 of 12 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 1 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the performances and the action.

News18 · Gautaman

Sadly, the narrative loses much of its zing after a point, and the element of thrill and mystery gets lost in inane dramatics.

Vikram’s first half is a fascinating exercise, marked by surprisingly swift appearances from Kamal Haasan, playing Karnan (and later, Vikram).

The Hindu · Srivatsan S

The new ‘Vikram’ disappoints the fans of the 1986 original and could have been a standalone film with Fahadh Faasil carrying on the legacy of the agent like in the James Bond films

The technically-superior filmmaker, in his most ambitious project yet, has made a compelling, violent, action film, which is a treat for the fans of the genre.

With ample whistle podu moments, Vikram is a macho blockbuster that shouldn't be missed, applauds Divya Nair.

Kamal Haasan's Vikram leaves with an open ending and the scope for a potential sequel. The film, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj uses the talent brilliantly to create a great film with amazing action sequences.

The action scenes, while solidly choreographed, never leave us with a rush. There are a couple of cool shots, like a zoom out and zoom in which Karnan and Amar switch places, but after after a point, the stunts leave us unmoved.

Overall, with the writing and performances holding the film high for most parts, the music and cinematography only makes the experience better for us.

Vikram review: Kamal Haasan’s film marks the beginning of Tamil cinema’s biggest franchise. Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi make their presence felt with strong performances.

India Today · Janani

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Vikram, starring Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil, has several whistle-worthy moments. But, the plot becomes too generic after a point.

Vikram is a mass entertainer that does not alienate the ones who try to find meat in a film. There is enough to attract you to the theatres and it is all worth. Go book your tickets.

Filminformation · Komal Nahta

Lokesh Kanagaraj has written a story and screenplay which are devoid of novelty. At the end of the day, it is a vendetta drama. The pace is slow at places, when it, therefore, gets boring.

The Indian Express · Manoj Kumar R

Even by his own standards, his latest film Saamy Square is an utterly ludicrous attempt that exposes his unwillingness to finetune his filmmaking skills with changing times.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
