VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

sanjayppc Vikram was one of the ambitious film projects of kamal, who collaborated with writer Sujatha. This was the last film in which Satyaraj acted as villain.He had started acting as hero then & was reluctant. But kamal insisted that he act as the villain with the assurance that he would later produce a film with him as hero. That film was "Kadamai Kanniyam kattupadu".Vikram had a good cast, lovely locales, melodious songs, gorgeous heroines & a smart & handsome kamal as a cop, yet it failed at the box office.The reason was that that the usual masala elements were missing. Also, after a riveting first half, the film went haywire in the 2nd half when the story moved to Salamia (imaginary country). Janakaraj's antics were annoying & also the pace of the film slackened a bit.The trailer was in the theatres for a few months before its release raising great expectations, specially amongst kamal fans.Over the years, it has gone on to become a classic & shown repeatedly on TV.

Haribabu Pasupathy Yes we should say this is a Sci-Fi movie of that time (80's).ICBM is a dream for India on that time, the Computers with Tamil text was nearly impossible. Science fiction does speaks the "not so far future" too.The way the movie goes, the opening RPG shot, Sathyaraj's intro, Sujatha's dialogs, the comedy scene's at Salamia are well taken. The innocent politician.We well know that the scene's are from different H/W movies, but the way Kamal presented the movie for Tamil audience is nice. Every one in the movie did there role perfectly.This is the Second Sci-fi after M.G.R's Kalaiarasi.9/10- because for non originality.

bragadish-r especially sujatha's dialogues was very poignant in fact this was his first venture in dialogues and the film script was also written in form of a novel in a tamil weekly. In the novel's prologue sujatha has given credit to kamalhassan ( producer, actor and co writer) for his inputs.I think this is the only one novel which was done for film and later came as a novel normally it will be the viceversa. Vikram was the first important film from south India in terms of science fiction rather than magical. After this film kamal and sujatha joined and worked for many other films like Indian, marudhanayagan etc... and sujatha was a active member in kamal's discussion team and ironically kamal's speech about sujatha after death quoted that "one cannot judge sujatha's creative skills by seeing his work in films "

Krishna R I agree with you. Vikram is a really enjoyable movie. A big budget extravaganza which borrows heavily from many Bond movies. Kamal Hassan plays an undercover cop, assigned to track down an international smuggler who hijacked a nuclear missile. After his wife gets shot by a sniper, he swears revenge on her killers and this leads him to an imaginary country, Salamia. Salamia is shown as a kingdom ruled by Amjad Khan. He is a typical emperor wearing robes and jewels and has an army of his own. His beautiful daughter, played by the gorgeous Dimple Kapadia, falls in love with Kamal. The song pictured on Kamal and Dimple, 'Meendum Meendum Va', is one of the most melodious of Ilayaraja. Throughout the movie, the locales are exotic and well pictured.Upon release, Vikram was panned by critics. It was termed one of Kamal's bad movies. But financially, Vikram was a success and had a good run throughout. The songs became classics and even the baddie Sathyaraj became a sought-after hero, after Vikram. The stunt director Dharma was affixed the title 'Vikram' and came to be known as 'Vikram' Dharma.
