An upcoming innocent body-builder is tricked into a lethal injection,without his own knowledge, that turns him into a hunchback. What he does when he discovers is the subject matter of this 4-year-in-the-making movie.
Vikram has given his heart and soul throughout the movie and the result is clearly visible. Right from the mammoth of a body build to the trimmed version of that of a model's to the entirely trimmed version of that of a hunchback, his transformation baffles everyone. Vikram will win the Best Hunchback category and also Best Body Build Category alongside the Best Acting Category.When it comes to being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Lingesan (Vikram) is the "Bruce McClane" of Tamil Cinema. When it comes to loosing and gaining weight, Vikram is the "Christian Bale" of Indian Cinema.
In short our I-bro raises for Vikram.
Amy Jackson's lack of inhibition persona perfectly fits the mould of a model. Anyone else would have been just a namesake model. Santhanam, though devoid of a separate comedy track (which I guess is loss in editing) does his best in the last quarter of the movie. Upen Patel, along with the good looks, also has a natural villanous face that will come in handy if he decides to become a full time villain.
Last seen in Dheena, Suresh Gopi is a pleasant surprise (given his absence in trailer and teasers) but his mild persona did not sit along with his stature and before the twist was revealed, I was able to smell a rat.
Released at 189 mins, the editing department would have been put to task and one cant imagine the length of the uncut version.
The S factor in Shankar's movie is missing. The last time , when I felt this emptiness, was with Shivaji-the Boss. Being a Rajni movie absence of S factor was reasoned with Superstar's larger than life image. But this time around, I couldn't find a suitable excuse. Little more trimming would have given a crisper version.
All in all, I is a 3hr Vikram treat. But I cant guarantee that you would like it.
