Vishwaroopam movie review: what critics say (5)
What critics say Critics are divided: 1 of 5 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 1 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the performances. Criticised: the action.
This is a fill it-shut it-forget it film, whose big budget slickness never overpowers it, and which holds you while it lasts.
A slew of fine supporting performances by Rahul Bose, Jaideep Ahlawat and Shekhar Kapur, among others, adds weight to an already formidable film. Vishwaroop is a must watch.
Read the full reviewI think it's worth watching Vishwaroop just to see Kamal Haasan in form, especially as the effeminate dance teacher.
A lot of it is unabashedly entertaining, although you'll wish the film was shorter and smarter.
Read the full reviewFor a spy thriller that takes bits and pieces from Hollywood hits like True Lies and Indian films like My Name is Khan, Vishwaroop fails to excite you with its dull pace and insipid action sequences.

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 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
