With Dhill (2001), Vikram balanced his reputation as a fine actor with huge commercial success as well.
His act as Chiyaan also saw the Tamil film industry place great hope in him as the man to inherit Kamal Haasan’s mantle of the next great actor-star in Tamil cinema. Vikram’s performance took the Tamil industry by storm and at the relatively late age of 33 he was finally a star. The film ends in tragedy when the girl kills herself and Chiyaan returns to the mental asylum from where he had escaped just for her. In the film, Vikram played Chiyaan, a college rowdy who falls for a simple Brahmin girl. Sethu was a breakthrough film for both director Bala and Vikram. Once he decided to enter films, he struggled for almost 10 years doing roles in Tamil, Malayalam and and Telugu films and even worked as a dubbing artist before he finally hit the big time with Sethu. He then followed up his college degree by starting his MBA but failed to finish the course. : Rajapattai, Vikram, Deeksha Seth, Mithra Kurian, K.‘Chiyaan’ Vikram is regarded of the finest actors in mainstream Tamil cinema today as his performances in films like Sethu (1999), Kasi (2002), Saamy (2003), Anniyan (2005) and I (2015) testify.īorn Vikram Kennedy in Paramakudi in Ramanthapuram District in Tamil Nadu on April 17, 1966, he did his schooling from Montfort School, Yercaud before doing his BA in English Literature from Loyola College, Chennai. Verdict: Rajapattai for Vikram’s fans and action lovers To sum it all, Rajapattai is popcorn in its flavor satisfying Vikram’s fans totally. The characterization of Pradeep Rawat lacks the fizz and Vikram scoring over him is a one sided match. Vikram bringing in a complete stranger Vishwanath home just after listening to his 2 minute story does not fit in properly. The placement of the much publicized laddu laddu number with Reemma Sen and Shriya Saran after the climax when most of the audience populace has started walking out is quite perplexing. The initial action scene at the temple, although choreographed well is a tad lengthy and could have been pruned. Anal Arasu’s hard work and Vikram and the co-artist’s dedication is praiseworthy, some of the shots being highly risky. “Kashtangalai ishtapattu seyyaravan daan inda Anal Murugan’ and ‘Avamaanam paarthaa award vaanga mudiyumaa?’ Bhaskar Sakthi’s sharp dialogues render the necessary punch be it humor or otherwise.Īs the film‘s protagonist is a stunt man, action sequences are aplenty in Rajapattai. The ‘CBI’ questioning of Pradeep Rawat by different Vikrams is an example and so is the scene when Vikram’s friends keep the baddies at bay on Vishwanath’s wife’s death anniversary. Levity is enjoyable in Rajapattai and is situational. Kasi Viswanathan should be credited for delivering a crisp product of just 2 hours and 7 minutes. Madhie’s camera angles especially in action sequences warrant mention. Yuvan’s music is just ordinary sans Podi Paiyyan Polave and other refrains don’t make a mark. Pradeep Rawat and Thambi Ramiah have delivered a neatly crafted performance. In the supporting cast, Sana, the new find is effective and Arul Das as the comical villain evokes laughter. Rajapattai is going to fetch this octogenarian numerous fans from young population who would crave for such companions to buttress their love life.ĭeeksha Seth is vacuous and is a downer in terms of looks and performance. Veteran director K Vishwanath is a cute delight with his youthful ideas on love and wooing. The Villadhi Villain number where Vikram comes in different get ups has the audience in raptures. It is a dovetailing of performance from this National Award winner who charms the audience with his theatrics. It is a carnival for Vikram’s fans and you wonder is there any facet of emoting that this actor has not ventured in. Suseendiran has used the story of Seenu who has also co-directed the film. Rajapattai could not have aimed at a better timing as the arc of the film is land mafia and land grabbing, the most topical one right now. Taking a detour from his established image, Suseendiran attempts at whole length commercial potboiler that has all the necessary ingredients of a mass masala product. After receiving Hosannas for his brilliant performance in Deiva Thirumagal, Cheeyan Vikram teams up with director Suseendiran who is known for his credentials in realistic flicks, for PVP productions Rajapattai.
