After three years, Kamal Haasan is back with a bang with Vikram. He has collaborated with Lokesh Kanagaraj of Kaithi and Master fame. In the cast, there are other big names like Vijay Sethupathi and Fahad Faasil who will be doing key roles.
Shivani Narayan, Narain, Arjun Das, Harish Uthaman, Kalidas Jayaram, Shanvi Srivastava, Aruldoss and many others in the cast. The film has Anirudh Ravichander's music. A few songs, including Kamal Haasan's "Pathala Pathala" number, have struck a chord with the listeners.
The movie has Philomin Raj's editing and Girish Ganghadharan's cinematography.
Vikram Story:
It is a high-octane action film where a special investigator is assigned a case of serial Killings. As the investigation proceeds, he finds the case is not what it seems to be and leading down this path is only going to end in a war between everyone involved.
Kamal Haasan will be seen as AK Vikram, a government agent commander, Fahadh Faasil as police officer Amar and Vijay Sethupathi as Santhanam, an evil gangster with a golden tooth.
Vikram is assigned to save the life of a high ranking government official who has been kidnapped by two siblings, in which one is a gangster and the other a politician. Will he succeed in his mission and if yes how he accomplishes it forms the crux of the story.
Hype:
The movie has generated a lot of hype. Not just in Tamil, the film is releasing in Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi languages. Hence, there is a big expectation from cine-goers across the country and mainly in South India. Will the movie live up to the expectations? Check out what netizens say about Kamal Haasan-starrer:

#FahadhFaasil has the best role after #Ulaganayagan He is almost the hero.. He drives the 1st Half.. Kamal drives the 2nd half..
#Fafa Mass.. He will be celebrated everywhere..
@VijaySethuOffl Totally different acting style.. He holds his own.. Tharam..

#Ulaganayagan @ikamalhaasan Verithanam from interval block to climax..
The Lion is Back Bigtime!
@Suriya_offl Totally unexpected characterization.. Vera Maari.. Vera Maari..
Prashanth Rangaswamy: #Vikram Interval - Last time I heard this roar for an interval block was for Baahubali2 .
The stage, the acceleration - they have etched every micro second of the script.
#Vikram interval - Transition of Tamil cinema to international quality cinema. True tribute to
@ikamalhaasan sir. Celebrations here.
Siddarth Srinivas: #Vikram: Special mention to
@girishganges for the interval block sequence - the camera moves like spreading butter on a slice of bread. Wow!
#Vikram: Good things aside, the film does have some dry air in between which is felt due to the 3-hour runtime and lack of strong emotions. There is a lot of excitement surrounding the universe of the film, which is the main reason why it'll draw and excite audiences in theatres!
The most exciting moment in #Vikram didn't feature any big star, it just came out of nowhere and surprised us all
The man
@anirudhofficial never fails to deliver - a trippy and innovative score that makes the film double as exciting as what it is. Be it the investigative portions, the action or even that super innovative brothel theme, Ani breathes fire into the proceedings!
The best part of the film is saved for last -
@Suriya_offl's extraordinary cameo is a huge energy bomb and it comes with his ultimate swag, villainy and unique styling. Can't wait to see what
@Dir_Lokesh does with this franchise next, mainly with Suriya
Fahadh Faasil turned out to be the pick of the cast for me - on the money right from scene one with his looks, expressions and dialogue delivery. A huge boost to the film on the whole, as opposed to what I felt with VJS.
Ulaganayagan
@ikamalhaasan is back in style, in just the way we want to see him. The low screen space for him in the first half takes a proper u-turn and goes all guns blazing in the second half. Great to see him in such spellbinding form
Verithanam. A smartly set-up action thriller that provides highs at regular intervals and ends with an absolute firecracker.
@Dir_Lokesh has pulled off a phenomenon, an entertaining and engaging franchise booster that's gonna give more gold. Don't miss it!
Interval: Intriguing. Fahadh Faasil rules the roost in this long drawn-out yet interesting first half. The suspense is held together very well and the tempo raises at a solid pace and peaks at the interval point
@anirudhofficial on fire as usual!
Rajasekar: #Vikram - Can't wait for the Faceoff between
@ikamalhaasan and @Suriya_offl ( what a fiery look for him in the film ) in #Vikram3 . His few minutes cameo gives more high to this biggie. Miss this one in theatres at your own risk
#Vikram - FaFa gets more screen time among all the actors , his characterisation is one of the best in the film. Great of
@ikamalhaasan to accept a film that has detailed characterisations& screen time for
@VijaySethuOffl & Fafa!
@Dir_Lokesh fan boy Sambhavam for KH in 2nd half
#Vikram - Fire Fire Fire . Best cinematic experience l've ever had in recent times ,action packed second half deserves multiple watch!
@ikamalhaasan , Fafa, @VijaySethuOffl
& @Suriya_offl
- what a treat to watch all these powerful performers in one film
@Dir_Lokesh #Vikram is our own DC action flick ,
@Dir_Lokesh also subtly pays tribute the #TDKR . Loving how Lokesh brings in a superhero angle with a unique power for
@VijaySethuOffl in both #Master and now #Vikram !
@anirudhofficial is a magician
#Vikram - What an interval bang! Verithanam elevation for Ulaganayagan
@ikamalhaasan. He handled the multistarrer film with ease! Superb characterizations for
@VijaySethuOffl and #FahadhFaasil! In Tarantino and Martin Scorsese zone!
He == @Dir_Lokesh, waiting for the second half as the intermission elevation is the best moment in the film so far #Vikram
Kaushik LM: One word review: #Vikram BLOCKBUSTER 2nd half kickass theatrical entertainment!
#Vikram : Nice little roles for
@SGayathrie (pleasant surprise),
@itsNarain from the #Kaithi world & goodold veteran Santhanabharathi
The baby boy & its sentiment with KH is a cute presence throughout the film
Will repeat the film soon & experience its world even more closely
#Vikram - #MakkalSelvan
@VijaySethuOffl's burly look, body language, walking style & mannerisms - super. But his unique dialog delivery for this character isn't clear; it sounded too hurried.
His intro sequence - attagasam
The beauty of
@Suriya_offl
's explosive introduction in the climax of #Vikram is that whether
@Dir_Lokesh makes #Kaithi2 or #Vikram3, #Suriya will be there as the formidable antagonist
MASTERSTROKE by #Lokesh with this cameo
Udhay: #Vikram superthx to ulaganayakan @ikamalhaasan sir @Dir_Lokesh @VijaySethuOffl @anirudhofficial
#Fahad @turmericmediaTM and the whole team for this movie experience ! Sure blockbuster !
Sivakarthikeyan:#Vikram
@ikamalhaasan sir's outing after 4 years! This is going to be another feather in his cap Best wishes to
@Dir_Lokesh @anirudhofficial @VijaySethuOffl #FahadhFaasil and the entire team for a massive success ❤️
