I'll admit it- i loved the original Vikram movie (1986) which was a spy thriller and ahead of its time in Indian cinema. Not surprisingly, I had similar expectations for this movie as I walked in.
Lo and behold, I was hit with a badly done knockoff copy of reservoir dogs/pulp fiction/KGF coupled with crass dialogues, cuss words and poor character development (apart from Kamal's character). This turned out to be a typical mass masala movie involving gangsters, corrupt police officials whom the hero literally mows down using a WW-I era machine gun. I wish I could get back those 3 hours of my life, my money and my dead brain cells.
Needless to say, this is going to be my last kamal movie. If you're a die-hard kamal fan who doesn't care about others think and wants to kill some time watching this in a theater, go for it.
