Vivegam- Lacks clarity on International thriller

[iravavastav · 4/10 · 6 September 2017]

Vivegam clearly depicts the Director's lack of understanding on the definition of "International Action cinema". This was an mere attempt to make an "international" thriller, with the assumption that a star with a huge fan base would be able to pull it off.

This movie failed to break from their regular show with poor characterization and satisfactory screen play, to conclude miserably failed to connect the audience. Perhaps, Ajith action was amazing which is the saving grace of the movie. Anirudh music was also a plus to the movie.

To conclude, Vivegam is just an "one man show" with action sequences that are rather dull and lifeless.

Zero Logic | Poor dialogues | Poor story | Ajith is the only plus

[saravanan-bng · 4/10 · 24 August 2017]

This movie is strictly for die-hard Ajith sir fans. The movie started off with illogical scenes which could have been avoided. There are many action sequences in the movie. Some of the action sequences were very well crafted kudos to Ajith Sir and the stunt master. The plot is very well predictable and clichéd. The casting was good not great. The antagonist played by Vivek Oberoi was not well carried with the film. The dialogues were very poorly written. With time Tamil Cinema has been emerging and in 2017 no one can digest Lead actor taking down 100 men without getting shot. I hope Siva comes out of his comfort zone and try to make some logical movies.

Pros: -Ajith Sir -Few action scenes are crafted really well -Editing

Cons: -Director Siva -Cliched plot -There are many scenes where Vivek keeps praising Ajith and portrays him as a

demigod. This could have been avoided -Direction was pretty bland. -Illogical scenes -DIalogues -Kajal Agarwal -Climax scene. -Very glossy cinematography.

It could have been better. I am giving this movie 4 /10 and that's only for Ajith sir's hard work. His transformation form Vedalam's bloated tummy look to a fit body is very much appreciated. I am pretty sure Ajith sir will comeback with good scripts. Hope director Siva learns a lesson from this movie.

Disappointing

[adithyanshajukrishna · 5/10 · 26 August 2017]

The movie was supposed to be in an international action style ( almost like Fast and Furious) and it has failed miserably. It was just an awful one man show and not really logical. I personally enjoyed Vedalam, but this was just awful. Especially the slow dialogues and song scenes are just cringe worthy. Ajith has a lot of blind fans, fans who just love the person, his looks and personality, but have no idea of what acting is or the quality of it.They just support his movies blindly. Im someone who prefers a better acting rather than the big name actors. His role and acting in Vedalam was outstanding, but this was just too much. I hope he doesn't go for movies with a plot like this.

seriously....Can anyone make a film like this???

[sujemyl · 2/10 · 7 September 2017]

This is the only film in my entire life, I walked out of the cinema before the Interval. Don't they even watch the film by themselves, before the release? Waste of Ajith's talent and every viewers time. Well done Akshara, only consolation. Scripts are very much dramatic. I don't usually write reviews. I am so fuming with anger, hence I decide to give a piece of my mind. Also heard that it is a box office hit...., you can't be serious.

The worst one yet!

[makaveli-96635 · 1/10 · 25 August 2017]

This is another typical one man taking on hundreds of goons kind of movie. Do not waste your time and money on this piece of waste. Kajal is just a side character with no real importance at all and is just a filler. expected much after the success of Vedalam, but this is a plain mockery ! watch at your own risk

Fair Movie

[rahulnayi · 6/10 · 25 July 2018]

Ajith's this action movie was not as good as I was expecting. Starting 15-20min will be hard for you to stay at your seat becoz of over actions and dialogues. This movie is full of Over Action as other south movies are, Good comedy, Drama, Thriller, Romance, Betrayal. This movie is watchable with your family. This movie Collected 160cr worldwide among the tremendous budget of 130cr with verdict of Below Average.

Worst movie ever

[vaisakp2008 · 1/10 · 1 October 2017]

WHY IS THIS RATED 7 STARS.

I am a die hard fan of Ajith and i could not bare even first five minutes of this movie.

my review in short words. I do not even want to waste my time to review this film.

Cliché. Boring. Shoots at-least a 100 men in 5 seconds and do not event get a scratch. Worst direction. Worst cinematography. Shitty dialogues.

Please do not make movies like this ever. I am begging to everyone who are making dumb films like this.

Ajith's Vivegam is like TOM CRUSIE in Indian cinema

[sivasivabalu · 9/10 · 24 August 2017]

An epic to Tamil film industry. It's kinda feel that are we watching a Tamil film or a international film.The strength and the backbone of the film is none another the mass HERO THALA'AJITH'.The pillars of the film is Dir.SIVA and cinematography by VETRI and Editor RUBEN and Music by ANIRUDH. Each frame came like a bullet and gives you a goosebumps every minute. Emotions of a husband and wife..wow factor worked there.It's like Mangatha PART-2 like the MASS Into,Interval,Climax.25 years of determination yes indeed, I admire and respect. A trademark in his film history and a huge treat for all THALA'AJITH' FANS. AJITH sir have to join in movies like 'JAMES BOND-Film's' 'MISSION IMPOSSIBLE'and 'FAST AND FURIOUS'.

A spoof of 007-AK/A treat for Thala fans

[peterobin2 · 6/10 · 25 August 2017]

I am neither a Thala(Ajith) fan nor Thalapathy(Vijay) fan. I have never watched a Thala movie on Fdfs before. While the movie starts the opening bridge scene gives me a feel of Telugu movie but despite the screenplay and direction everyone in Siva's team has done a stupendous job(except Siva).This movie totally enveloped in a small circle of AK and Vivek Oberoi . The stunts are good but it gives a feel like they were made without a cause. AK is perfect in this film we can't find any mistakes on him. Thala worked hard but we can't eat a food because of hard work of cook if it is not well served. Camera works were the best but the movie didn't have even a single shot scene lasting for 15 seconds . That lightning speed cameras made the movie even worse. If you are a Thala fan like my friends you will like this movie otherwise sorry!.

Terrible predictable movie

[airjordanyk · 1/10 · 19 October 2017]

VIvegam is just another mass type movie but fails on many aspects. Completely illogical action scenes along with terrible screenplay really ruin the movie. Ajith tries his best, but there is only so much an actor can do with a terrible director in charge. Vivek Oberoi's character could have been explored more, but he spends 99% of his time praising his enemy, to the point it's very annoying. Other illogical scenes include white people speaking Tamil, and any scene with Kajal Aggrawal.

The only positive side was the use of VFX, and some of the cinematography. Otherwise, it's a terrible movie. Will not recommend

An international spy, is on a mission to stop a manually handled disaster, and faces many consequences during the mission.

[brucewaynetony · 10/10 · 26 August 2017]

This movie is a perfect spy thriller movie. This movie was given mixed reviews to positive reviews from critics, despite the degradation of the movie from many sides. This movie is a complete family entertainer, with no aggressive or brutal scenes. The protagonist, Ajith Kumar's role in this movie and his hard work for the movie was critically acclaimed. Overall, it is a worth-watching movie, and a complete feast for the fans of the actor, Ajith Kumar !!!

A well cooked meal but not served properly

[gugan94 · 7/10 · 24 August 2017]

The movie is directed by Siruthai Siva and the cast include Ajith Kumar as the protagonist in the movie, Kajal Agarwal in the female lead and Vivek Oberoi as the antagonist. The genre of the movie is international spy thriller, where the movie is based upon Slovenia. The Movie starts off with good spirits but later on the movie slows down a bit because of the emotional contents. It is a radical shift for the director because his previous ventures were based in India and did not have a lot of technical stuffs. Kudos to the director for taking the script to the different level, the team has put a lot of effort in creating this script.Dialogues were a pillar support in the movie but some dialogues did not blend properly with the movie. Stunt Sequences were perfectly captured and the movie has a rich viewing experience thanks to the cinematographer Vetri and his team. Anirudh has blasted the background with his music, it blends during emotions as well as in the other parts. Kajal and Vivek Oberoi have done their best in what they can do. Here comes the one man army of the movie Ajith Kumar, he has put his heart,soul everything for the film. Be it the physical transformation, stunt sequences he gave his 100% for the role. We can see a lot of hard work that he has put in the movie. A one time watchable movie where you can feel a transformed Ajith not only physically but in different aspects. Lets list down the pros and cons of the movie

Pros: Ajith Kumar, Editing, Cinematography, Dialogues, Technology

Cons: Emotional content, Screenplay(2nd Half), Some Dialogues, Voice overs for foreigners.

Only for Ajith fans, not for the general audience

[sakthipara · 1/10 · 7 September 2017]

Even if I'm not an Ajith Kumar fan, my expectations were high for Vivegam since it was advertised as a "Hollywood" level action-thriller movie. But after watching the movie, it is was a huge disappointment for me.

The movie starts with a funny note, yes funny, Ajith Kumar after telling his punch dialogue in Tamil Language (to non-Tamil speaking people !), jumped off a bridge (horrible intro for an 'international spy thriller'). There are lot of loopholes in the script. The romance scenes between Ajith Kumar and Kajal didn't work out, zero chemistry between them, Ajith Kumar looked too old for Kajal. Vivek Oberoi's role was interesting in the first scenes but his repetitive hero glorification became cringe worthy at one point. The interval twist was highly predictable : the villain is none other than Vivek Oberoi (meh !). At least the first half of the movie was watchable but then came the draggy second half and the worst was the climax. At the end of the film, Kajal Agarwal starts to sing like Paravai Muniamma in Dhool to motivate Ajith. As expected, Ajith rips off his shirt and reveals his muscular body, and destroys Vivek Oberoi.

Technically, Vivegam has good Music/BGM, good cinematography, some high-voltage action sequences, Ajith did a great work here, has given his heart to the movie. Unfortunately, the direction/screenplay/story of Siva was bad, very bad. To sum up, this movie is all about (too much) glorifying Ajith. This movie can satisfy Ajith fans but not the general audience.

Disappointing even as a 'fans' movie! [+32%]

[arungeorge13 · 3/10 · 1 October 2017]

There are directors who love to add excessive slow-motion to scenes. And there's Siva. He adds 'fast-motion' to his set-pieces. We don't get to see what's really happening, because the camera moves at lightning speed and so does the hero (all his movies have been about hero- worship with an overdose of family sentiment - this shtick has reached its tiresome saturation. It's 2017, not the 80s anymore!). The break- neck editing style doesn't accentuate the viewing experience either. Even if (some of the) set-pieces in 'Vivegam' are clap-worthy in terms of ideas, this jump-cut method kills the execution almost completely. Except for the hero who owns every frame he's in, we don't even know who's getting beat-up or killed.

Remember what Dicaprio had to go through in 'The Revenant' (the struggle in the cold, wilderness while recovering from injuries)? Well, Siva summarizes all that toil (and more, like doing inverted crunches) in a song where Anirudh screams 'Thalai Viduthalai'. Vivek Oberoi who plays the major antagonist and secret-society agent (I'm not kidding) Aryan, although welcomed initially as a neat addition to the ensemble, persistently keeps heaping praises on his arch- nemesis (who he addresses throughout the movie as 'Nanbaa') Ajay "AK" Kumar (played by none other than Ajith Kumar) a renowned covert (contrasting choice of words, but that's exactly what he is - he makes stealthy moves but he blows places up and shoots everyone he doesn't like) operations specialist, who's betrayed by his own team.

Aren't even the most generic hero-villain sagas more entertaining when the villain is always two steps ahead of the hero? Here, it's the other way round. AK has a solution for everything, and I mean everything. Before an idea even cooks up in Aryan's head, AK's already executing it. "That's AK for you!" - Aryan himself says this like ten times. As if we didn't know. Meh.

Yes, everyone including white Europeans speak Tamil (either via double-layering or directly) which is fine considering we can at least fixate our eyes on the proceedings and not the subtitles. But the accents make the delivery sound unintentionally funny on most occasions. The foreign actors do a very generic job and their dubbing / lip-sync is terrible. Worst, Siva is trying to follow the 'Bond' template but one that's strictly grounded to suit Tamil cinema sensibilities. So the hero doubles as a family man, the best husband around, who at times even fries onions at his wife's (Yazhini, played by Kajal Aggarwal) South Indian restaurant (based in central Europe mind you, yet replete with saree-clad attenders and 'Rajavin Parvai' singing executive chefs) when he isn't frying someone's head on his job.

Technical mumbo-jumbo is spat out from almost every character in the movie - each character in AK's team is given a one-shot intro scene (with an animated pop-up that details their work stats - Gosh, the funniest stuff you'll read. For eg. Skill #3 of the 'Head of Interrogation' - INTERROGATION!). The spelling errors are glaring - STRATERGIST for 'Strategist' (Really?); Mission Coun? Where's the T? How can you trust the instincts of a movie that can't even get its spellings right?

'Vivegam' also has the worst hero-introduction scene in recent times. Subpar visual effects try to convey the fact that our hero, who took his own sweet-time to mumble a few lines in Tamil followed by "Never, ever give up!" to a bunch of military grade officers, had just jumped off a lofty dam - shooting and adjusting his watch on his way down and swimming away to safety. Kajal's character is added just to elevate the character played by Ajith. We have scenes where she keeps reinstating how she is the luckiest wife in the world to have a husband like him, and the quintessential 'passing the inspiration' scene where she goads her husband to kill everyone who betrayed him. Heck, our man bothers to mouth exhausting monologues to the antagonist over the phone even when his wife is struggling in labor. Towards the end, even Aryan seems to have given up - he tells AK exactly what he plans to do and how he's gonna go about it (makes things easy, right?).

Bits and pieces of 'Surviva' are used effectively as BGM, while the rest sound too noisy. The climax set-piece, set in a cave, comes exquisitely wrapped with the "Holy sh*t!" moment. See it to believe it.

Verdict: Alt+Ctrl+Delete!

Total waste

[prabhupprabhup · 2/10 · 9 October 2020]

This is not a movie this is like a trashcan. Because I can't expect this movie in ajith sir. Director siva fully collapsed that script. kajal and ajith pair excellent selection. Especially kajal agarwal climax dialogue song awsome.

a decent action thriller

[mohmads-15801 · 7/10 · 30 August 2017]

Except the first scene were there was some ill-logic stuff. Rest of the movie is a worth watch. Director Siva > by comparing his previous films this one is exceptional were no item songs no skin show no dance number.which are something mandatory in Indian movies. It is impossible to give an international output when you're only 4 films old. But Siva given a very decent output equal to some Hollywood movie standards. But he could have been revealed more about secret society rather than concentrating on betrayal. Still has got a message. DOP > truly international vert"s vision is completely UN imaginable,some shots are really mind blowing, especially bridge scene drone shots, bike chase shots, Thalia's virtually shots were plus. Editing and VFW > since this has an international script were VFW has to be given a place. And obviously the movie is dealing with so many gadgets. They have given a decent VFW visuals. Kudoos cajole > she has given a decent performance as a matured wife and has got something to stick with script rather than being as a typical Indian movie heroines. Kudoos to director Siva for portraying. Vivek Oberoi > like previous Siva movies villain who has no charisma no evil, no power, Vic Oberon nothing exception, it gives you an awkward feel when villain praises hero all the time. It gives you the feel like he is nothing compared to his opponent. Siva could have given more power and meaning to his role. Bgm songs > being a die hard ACTH korma fan. It is really hard to control yourself from giving something exaggerate you're favorite star when you get an opportunity to do so. if i were in ANSI"s place i would"v messed up giving some holistic bpm's and song. And guess what ANSI has stick with the script and given what is needed. Never ever give up song was really international . THE original AK theme came in some portions only and i expected to be through out the movie. But no disappointment at all. Well done ACTH korma > this man is a real hard worker to be genuine. i have seen all his movies from 2000. Particularly his previous movie bedlam were he looks fat and kind of giant looking personally i felt he is no more getting fit here after. But he broke all the myth and bounced back for real. i never thought he would become this fit. Thanks Mr ACTH korma sir, you'v been an inspirational person for n number of people. Like who would"v become fit after going through major surgeries. Hats off truly inspiring. Coming back to his performance. Show steal-er, he comes in 95% of the movie and like who would even take an eye of him when he is on the screen. His hard work is truly exceptional. Those struggles he goes through during Thalia's virtually song is something one should keep in mind that, no matter what you have got to fight back in any circumstances. Negative > bridge scene could have been done logically bike chase : it was a mind blowing ride until when ACTH korma fly's off the bridge > like why do you do that? It has ruined an epic bike chase some over buildup scenes > given a tag spy thriller please consider ACTH korma as an actor like how GM portrayed ACTH korma in Jenna Oriental. Buildup scenes are done and dusted in Indian cinema long ago we want content. Positive > something new to Tamil cinema like never before, visuals, editing,new gadgets, genre.

ACTH korma: i have said enough about him and yeah he is a big plus stunt : stunts were real to be honest romantic portions : in most of the movies apothegm sir really suck at giving romance . But in this movie the chemistry level between ACTH korma and cajole avowal really worked out well. Overall : a decent spy thriller with Indian emotions and has something to talk about husband and wife relationship in this modern era.

The Modern version of Vijayakanth's Narasimha

[Sal1991 · 3/10 · 26 August 2017]

Vivegam is literally a parody of many Spy thrillers. This movie has such an awful outing with a rubbish screenplay flashed with illogical scenes and questions the viewers imagination whatsoever. The actors and technicians who looked genuine and worked hard but the execution of this movie went haywire. Especially the hype it has created before release were completely bombed with the poor outcome.

Story line: In Europe, there is a Counter terrorism squad of 5 friends who plans to stop the 3 Plutonium weapons which is buried in the lands of India. Obviously the well known fact in many Ajith movies and the cliché of Tamil movies, AK's friends betrays him as it is their plan of executing the weapon which is also headed by his close friend Vivek Oberai. The second half becomes like cat & mouse game and ends with similar fashion.

What went wrong?

1. The Story line is very simple but the execution went too ambiguous from the start. 2. The Chasing, investigation & the use of technology like Hacking & tracking is beyond a mess. It looked as easy and as simple as like eating our daily food. 3. Illogical action sequences like the Introduction sequence in the bridge was funny as hell, Fight scene with the Albanian thugs were comical, then the Tunnel scene followed by the train track sequence is out of logic and the redemption of Kajal Aggarwal is such a old fashioned scene. Of course the climax sequence was pure MGRish :P 4. The Fast editing hasn't worked well at all. The power of conveying the story and the emotions towards the audience hasn't gelled well enough. 5. I have never seen a Hero worshiping Villain in any of the film. This curbs the challenge for the hero. Poor stuff. 6. The Astounding heroism shown for AK has also curbed the soul of the movie. From the very first scene of Ak, we can understand there is going to be nothing challenging for him which makes the movie falls flat with low intensity. 7. Songs were poorly choreographed except Kadhalada & Never give up

What worked?

1. Ajith Kumar has done his job. Have seen his lots of efforts has been wasted. Kajal looked decent enough as per her character but screenplay played a mess with her especially with the climax part was like century old trash. Akshara was good with the pivotal role. 2. Cinematography was really promising. It was really pleasant to watch Europe which looked fresh with interesting visuals but also annoyed by its candid shaking stuffs. 3. Bike chasing scene is for Ajith fans but a solid made effort for a Tamil movie. 4. Songs & BGMs were good. Anirudh is the real life saver of this movie. His BGM carried the intensity throughout the end.

On the whole, this was such a poor product from the Writer & Director Mr.Siva. The promise he made us with the teaser and the trailer have proved wrong with the movie's outcome.

I would not recommend this movie to my friends and well wishers. Waste of money and your precious time.

Tamil Movie reaching a new Height

[dakjana · 8/10 · 25 August 2017]

I heard lot of negative comments on this movie so went and watched in Theater with my wife. I think this movie had taken Tamil Movie to next level. Most of the scenes, cinematography,stunts Directions are in a different range competing with Hollywood movie making. Ajith is almost like JASON BOURNE and every time when I watch Jason Bourne series I use to wonder will they ever make Tamil movie like it but SIVA and his camera man proved it along with the stunt master it is possible. Most of the technology terms and secret agencies terminology may not reach the village audience. Anytime when they make such movies I don't expect any great stories and I am OK with it. If Ajith is the HERO for this movie, I can say Director SIVA and Camera man are the Super Heroes and AJITH had given the BEST of his BEST. Good Luck to the hardworking team which went thru lot of hardships in Bulgaria and other East European countries.

I respect the effort made in this movie

[vvijayvk · 7/10 · 7 September 2017]

There is a lot of effort involved in this movie.

Ajith sir had put in a lot of effort and we could recognize some of them in the movie, especially physical efforts are much appreciated.

Negative role actors in the movie is neither terrific nor given a best shot. And always praising ajith sir in the entire movie, could have been worked out differently to move the movie in an interesting way.

It was boring in certainly places especially leads were talking a lengthy dialogue, and kajal mam was a big distraction in an action movie like this, which takes a mind of the audience away from the flow.

The movie is watchable and stunts are amazingly performed by ajith sir.

Entire movie is more predictable.

Too many logical flaws..fights scenes are boring and making to laugh

[samymbox · 1/10 · 31 August 2017]

Too many logical flaws..fights scenes are boring and making to laugh.It's OK to accept VFX for fight scenes..as far as I know this is one and only film VFX used to show hero's physique very bad..Mr Ajith Kumar really has to work hard to keep up his personality or handsomeness. Otherwise he may get pushed into second heroes pool because Cinema not like before.. it's very competitive. His dialogue delivery is not as good as before. Not even tried to convince his own fans. End of the day, it's all going to shake the producers cold money.. I am really really Sorry for the producer of this movie. Mr producer of this movie.. from next venture on wards please put more attention to choose logically convincing and promising story, sensible, knowledgeable director and obviously good actor if not I am really sorry to say this again, you may have to face one more big loss.

IGNORE NEGATIVE REVIEWS. This one is a MUST watch. Why? Pls. go ahead

[vsmvignesh · 10/10 · 30 August 2017]

The reason for saying it is a must watch is because, at least after seeing this movie, the impression on Indian Action movies among the audiences will change. This is one hell of an action ride.

The movie revolves around a SPY agent 'AK' and his quest to stop the people who wants to create artificial earthquakes using Plutonium weapons.

I like this movie not because the genre is new to Indian Cinema. It is because the way they executed it. Apart from some cliché heroism like evading hundreds of bullets, the movie is executed upon a beautiful emotional quotient.

The stunt sequences are too brilliant and the way it was conceived by the writer and executed by him.

Coming to the story part, the writer(and director) Siva has come up with the usual spy story. But instead of exploring the story, he made it a cat and mouse game kinda screenplay. It itches a little bit when we see something that could've been explored better was left to be a thin plot instead.

Pros :

1. Jet Speed Screenplay,

2. Action Sequences,

3. Ajith's Screen Presence

4. Siva's Direction

5. No smoking, drinking, glamour scenes or vulgar dialogues.

6. Screenplay talking about self motivation and positivity.

Cons :

1. CG could've been better.

2. Climax is tooooooo f*****g dramatic.

3. Predictable interval twist.

I came by some reviewers saying it is not logical in some scenes (like the dam scene). I would say, "Folks! This is how spy movies are made. This is how action movies are made. Period!!!" If you can accept people falling from planes with their cars, why would this disturb you? Just because it is an Indian movie?? or because it is not directed by Shankar or Rajamouli?? Change your view people. Take pride when it happens.

Overall: This movie is a treat for Action Movie lovers. It is a WORTHY PopCorn Flick. Go for it!!!

Vivegam Review

[AnishMisra · 6/10 · 10 October 2017]

Vivegam is a film written and directed by Siva. I saw this film basically for one reason: Ajith Kumar. I am a big fan of his. And that's what this film is about. It celebrates Ajith in every way possible.

Plot: Aryan Singha and his teammates decide to track down AK who is presumed dead for the Counter Terrorist Squad.

Story and direction: One word to describe this film, is "Pot-boiler". These are basically films that basically have no kind of story but just are made to mint money and cash on the star's success. Ajith has completed 25 years in films. The makers basically wanted to cash that. Now basically coming to what is good. The locations I guess are great. I can go on talking about that in this film. The chemistry between Ajith and Vivek was good. But they could have built on that much more. Now with the faults of this film. The VFX are terrible. If you can't do good VFX, just don't put it. The action was half good. There is a car chase that was well filmed. But some of the hand to hand combat were terrible. You could just feel wires being hanged around the people performing those stunts. The camera work was also OK. finally, Ajith's body show. I don't think that was needed. I was disappointed by that.

Music: Anirudh has given some great songs in the past. Here in this film, I basically don't think any song will be good to my years. Any time a song came I just felt to reduce the volume.

Performances: Ajith Kumar just nails it every time he is on screen. I don't just know how he does it. Vivek Oberoi was impressive as well. Kajal Aggarwal was OK. Akshara Hassan just looked like a cry baby for the amount of screen time that she got.

Favorite Scene: The scene where Yazhini tells AK she worries of him coming alive considering the type of work he does. This scene strung a chord in me. I could basically feel what the family feels when one of your members is in a dangerous profession.

Verdict: This film is for those who love pot-boilers and Ajith.

I am going with a 6.5/10.

Not worth the watch at all...a complete waste of time

[ladymahesh · 1/10 · 28 August 2017]

I don't usually watch Tamil movies but I was curious to see Akshara Hassan on screen for the first time. In all honesty, she did OK. Her screen time was so limited and I wished she had a bigger role because the other heroine was extremely annoying to watch. Seriously...why did they even cast her. She was completely unnecessary.

Anyway, from the start, the movie was just painful to watch. Ajit Kumar is one of my favorite actors but this just wasn't doing him any justice. Why was he made to utter such unnecessary garbage dialogues throughout the movie? It was making me sick quite honestly.

And a few things to note: 1. If the characters are of foreign nationality, just let them speak their language. What's with the awful voice-overs??

2. The camera shakes a lot at the start of the movie and this is unbearably irritating.

3. I know a lot of Hollywood action flicks tend to have ridiculous stunts and illogical scenes but somersaulting into a freaking dam with an army ready to shoot the crap out of AK just made me curse the people who made this movie.

Nothing but waste of money !!!

[akthar-itzme · 1/10 · 28 August 2017]

Bad film in ajith's carrier. No logic in story, very bad sentimental scenes, worst & horrible fight sequences made the film a black mark.

Ajith's effort has been wasted and also the tamil audience money. Producer will be getting money back but not the chance of siva.

More work has to be done on story & screen play. Nothing will stop the film to go to dusts. Biggest mistake in ajith's life.

Tried Something.. but Failed

[mnjleelai · 1/10 · 26 August 2017]

Tried for a international movie .. good one ... but poor screenplay makes irritate while watching. Used lot of hard work but director wasted that all. Story platform looks like Thandavam Tamil movie. Worst dialogue sequence ever scene . other than hero all all praising only hero even villain praising whole movie, he was villain or some other music instrument of hero we don't know. chemistry of hero and heroin is not at all good. We need to appreciate hero's hard work means y this film instead of this tell him to release only gym video we will appreciate ... overall disappointed..
