Watch Vishwaroopam For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Absolutely Fantastic

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

A film with all parameters being pitch perfect and that what makes it more than watchable one alongside there is just a song in the start that is irritating but that doesn't hamper it...Kamal Hassan is the heart of the whole movie and his performance is top class followed by Rahul Bose who reminded me of Thakshak, his first negative role, though he was menacing and his look was enough to either laugh and get scared...Another person worth mentioning is Jaideep Ahlawat who played the role of Salim and must say he has a bright future ahead as he had done some roles after this movie like Aakrosh, Gangs of Wasseypur, Gabbar is Back, Raazi etc where his acting talent is evitable...Screenplay is gripping and keep u involved throughout and direction is excellent...Mobidity and bloodshed is there which may not appeal to the female section that might come as the biggest flaw and it's a totally serious movie with lack of entertainment value which nowadays is the demand and once not seen then the audience dejects it... A fare not to be missed for action lovers and Kamal Hassan's fans...A sure shot winner and don't care whether worked on the box office or not but it did hit me fully and I expect a film like this to create such an impression...

There was absolutely nothing against Islam / Muslims. The hero itself is a Muslim. In fact, it denotes that it is not religion itself, it is human beings that is being good or bad. Unfortunately sometimes religion is being used for sadistic purposes. If we really believe in God / religion, then we need to love others / respect others and cannot cause harm to life. Hope every one understand this. Kudos Kamal Haasan. Great attempt at Quality Cinema coming from India

The reviews rated this highly so I watched this but it was one of the most disappointing "thrillers". Reviewers seem to be ga ga about Kamala Hasan and yes, the movie is different in its style. The narration is repeatedly interrupted by flashbacks that hurt the pace of the story. The first half is particularly slow and doesn't really build towards anything. It is true that unlike the usual Hindi movie, there are no perfect characters here but the movie falls mostly flat as the plot is revealed and a transition is made from mystery to thriller/action. Songs mostly distract without even the standard bollywood masala value. Baby and Phantom did a far better job and even less perfect thrillers like Holiday and December 16 do a better job of keeping you riveted.

I have been a die hard fan of Kamal Haasan all my life, not just for his skills related to cinema, but because of his principles and philosophies related to life as well. Had been waiting for the movie ever since I watched a short teaser clip released by KH during an award ceremony 1-2 years ago. The trailers promised a very racy action thriller against a backdrop related to international terrorism. Yes. Interesting. Did the movie live upto the hype and my expectations? Ah. Pretty much.Writing this detailed review from a neutral POV and not writing this as a fan boy.Cast+Characterisation: The cast has several popular names as well as few new ones. KH needs no introduction. He has mastered every role that he has played so far. He does his job as an actor extraordinarily. Rahul Bose and Jaideep Ahlawat too were very good. Couldn't find any flaws in their acting. The characterization of Rahul is very interesting. I see Pooja as a surprise package. She is new to the industry and wasn't expecting much. However, she has managed to put up a very decent show and KH being the writer has done a great job framing her character. Andrea's role doesn't have much to do in this movie. Maybe she would have an important role in the sequel. All others have done a decent job. However, I feel that the American actors who have played minor roles as FBI officers etc have done a below average job. Overall: 8/10 Story: A very simple story related to terrorism at the global level and yet another movie depicting Newton's third law. The story has a phase which is thought provoking. There are many parts that take the viewers to the unknown side of terrorists' lives. It is evident that KH has done a lot of research before making this movie. 8.5/10Direction: The direction is impeccable. Amazing job done. KH has exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. The great uses of metaphors and motifs sets him at a level much above today's Indian directors. This man is a genius. A perfect 10/10Screenplay + Narration etc: This is one area where the movie fails at certain instances, especially during the second half. The screenplay and narration gets pretty slow mid way. However, it gets back to a good form towards the end of second half. The climax was not liked by many people. It lacked the masala and action that you generally see in typical Indian movies or any movie for that matter. However, the climax was a very smart one. 7/10Music: The biggest drawback of this movie. Expectations were pretty high given the fact that music has been done by SEL. The background score is very good in the first half hour or so and there is proper use of silence. But, midway first half, there is overuse of silence and the BGM is pretty bad and this continues till the end. Yes, there are certain instances where the BGM is pretty good. But, overall, the music is very very bad. Given the fact that good BGM can complement the screenplay very well, I would say that it is the music which made the narration seem boring at times. 5/10Use of technology + making: Probably the best making that Indian movies have ever seen. The quality of the cinematography etc etc is on par with that of Hollywood movies. VFX is the biggest plus point in this movie after KH. Madhusudanan has done an amazing job. The movie seems very grand on the big screen and it is very evident that KH is one person that India must rely on if it wants to takes it's movies to the next level, especially in terms of making and use of technology. 9.5/10Final rating: 8/10I have watched all movies of KH and especially love the ones that he has directed or written the story for. Even after Vishwaroopam for over a ten times (Yes! I have :) ), I still feel that this is not his best. Virumaandi is much superior to this movie. And, Hey Ram stands out as KH's best work even today and Vishwaroopam fails to replace it.Controversy? I felt sad seeing my idol tell the media reporters that he is ready to leave the country. All the related incidents were completely unfortunate and it is obvious that the protests were driven by political forces. There is nothing against Muslim, rather this man has supported the goodwill of most Muslims in this movie.
