Vikram streaming now is a circular of action and nostalgia intended to enrich the universe-building that Lokesh Kanagaraj executed in Kaithi. With excellent performances by Kamal Haasan, Fahadh Faasil, and Vijay Sethupathi this film again tries to be the next big thing with an array of subplots and fails to provide a proper narrative.
My Experience:
Therefore, watching Vikram was rather intricate. Special features The movie starts with a good acceleration and very good scenes of action that interested me. Nevertheless, as the story developed further, this, like the previous one, puzzled me, and fell apart into a trivial plot. The references to Kamal Haasan’s previous movies were a good laugh but at times it appeared as if the director was merely trying too hard to tell a new tale.
Some scenes were made good by cinematography and music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. However, the action-filled scenes granted, upon leaving the theatre, I got the impression that the movie could have done more as far as the creation of wonderful characters and a prosaic, heart-touching story. All in all, Vikram is a very parallel friendly, and entertaining movie but they defeated my expectations and I was expecting a foolproof movie.

Call it a magnum opus, or larger than life, but Vikram has been worth the wait. A Kamal Haasan film always brings innovation with it, and Vikram aces it in action. Mounted on superlative production values and a breathtaking pace, Vikram doesn't have one dull moment in its 146 minutes of running time
The film starts with a series of murders, including that of Karan (Kamal Haasan) perpetrated by a team of vigilantes that claims to be cleaning up the system by waging a war against the system. Two of the three people murdered were policemen who had captured a large consignment of drugs and hidden the same in an unknown place, and Karan was the foster father of one of them. This is just the beginning. The Chennai Police Commissioner calls upon a crack team of sleuths led by Amar (Fahadh Faasil) to trace down the culprits as they are the best in the business. Amar and team go about systematically and conclude the case with a warning to the Commissioner himself - that Amar knew who murdered one of the two policemen, and that Vikram, the original leader of the Black Squad from the 1980s, taken for dead, is back to life and out on a mission to rid the nation of the drug menace.
Vikram (Kamal Haasan) is in reality an undercover agent leading a team of vigilantes, cleaning up drug mercenaries knowing very well that their current crop of antagonists headed by a local drug lord Chandhan (Vijay Sethupati) are just small fish that must be dealt with. The real big fish Rolex is who their ultimate aim is.
Vikram, helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj is visually spectacular. A taut action adventure, it extracts Kamal Haasan to his fullest potential, but doesn't showcase him in every frame to make sufficient space for Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupati too. In fact, the three men are the core of Vikram, in very different roles that make the movie immensely watchable with a mix of myriad emotions and action at its best. The climax is violent, with the use of an arsenal of firearms and hand to hand combat, setting up a finger licking wait for the potential sequel where Vikram will lock horns with Rolex (Suriya, playing a surprise cameo). Don't wait for Vikram to drop into OTT platforms, for a film like this must only be watched in the theatres.
