Few corporate companies are aiming at creating ripples across the world by using atomic energy and mint money with a device. AK senses these insane activities and wishes to investigate deeper.

Messy story

Cast and Performance :

Ajith is a nodal point of the movie. His stylish looks and action will certainly mesmerize the audience. He excelled in bike rides and action sequences. In the climax, his Six pack body loos is mind-blowing.

Kajal Agarwal took up the character of Ajith’s wife. She did complete justice to her role.

Akshara Hasan has performed a very vital role of Natasha with ease.

Vivek Oberoi has impressed with his villain role. This is the next south Indian film which he had acted after Rakta Charitra. He portrayed the characters of the Secret agent and corrupted officer roles with his unique style.

Technical :

Vivekam has stood up just because of technical values. You would feel as if you are watching a Hollywood film. Action scenes were planned, top class. Action and mass audience will enjoy the feast. Vetri’s cinematography has given life to this film. You will feel the freshness in overseas locations.

Anirudh could have further fine-tuned his music. The story runs at a very great pace. Thanks to the perfect editing. Dialogues of Rajesh are impressive.

Production values have taken the film to a new high.

Director Shiva has been successful in getting a good movie output. He crafted the scenes in between hero and villain have been mind-blowing and leave us amazed. He wrote climax scenes with much care and was able to display on the screen too, Bust at times you may feel lost in the high range logical scenes. Scenes don't stay for more time and keep changing very fast leading the audience to a bit of confusion.

Analysis :

Overall Vivekam will certainly quench the thirst of the action-loving audience. For the mass audience, Vivekam will create a feeling of watching a Hollywood film. So it is up to you to decide if you like to watch a pucca action and mass entertainer for this Vinayaka Chavithi.
