Vivegam Review

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.
