What a waste of my time!!!

Good concept, poorly executed.

Better Late Then Never

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Movie : Vishwaroop (U/A)Rating : 4.5/5Kamal Haasan is an excellent actor, we know that. He's a good writer, we know that too. He's a good director as well, we even know that. And for those who don't know, we recommend watching VISHWAROOP. Once you will watch it, you will not be able to forget it. It's an unforgettable, thrilling and adventurous action film that can't be described easily in words.First things first. VISHWAROOP is not a dubbed film from south. It's a straight Bollywood film. Therefore, original Hindi cinema lovers can definitely watch it without thinking much. It's a story about crime, hatred, and what all leads to a war. Right from the beginning frame, Kamal Haasan wins you over as a writer and a director. His creativity angle in the story makes it at par with world cinema. Since it's an action thriller full of suspense and surprises, it won't be good to disclose anything about the story of the film. It's better to watch it on your own to realize how great this film is. The story and screenplay both are amazing, and you wonder how come an actor can write such an interesting story with an even engaging screenplay. The visual effects are very nice and the camera work is top notch. Especially, the scenes of war and the fight sequences look amazing and you wish to just react in surprise. And yes, the action sequences are excellently choreographed and executed, and they look a treat to watch.Kamal Haasan finally comes with a Hindi film after a long time. He is the soul of the film. The way he acts and reacts, gives the film an extra boost. Pooja Kumar thankfully has an important role unlike all heroines and she plays it well. Same for Andrea Jeremiah, who too has an impressive part and plays it well,till the end. Rahul Bose as the antagonist is menacing in several sequences. The other cast too leaves the desired impact.The music is surprisingly excellent. The background score and all songs deserve a 100% rating. The title track is the best one. And the best part is that the editing is also very good, the songs do appear only when needed. There are several scenes that deserve special mention. Many time freeze sequences are filmed very well, and they add to the curiosity and tension of the scene. Very well played, indeed!On the whole, VISHWAROOP is an unforgettable experience that deserves to be watched and loved by all audiences. It's a kind of film never seen before and it has got all the stuff to entertain and enthrall you. What then? Just go, and watch!

This movie is just Kamal's Vishwaroopam.To sum it all in one word,you can't . There are just too many amazing things in this movie.First, I would like to say or everyone will say that the cinematography is mind- blowing.They took shots with stunning angles. I have no words to describe it. Coming to the scenery, the shots in New York were done well and the fighting scenes were very very good.The not-notable VFX in this movie absolutely amazing. The Afghanistan part was awesome as you can't see any flaws.The story is not simple to understand as watch closely to really understand the flow of the story.Remember this, small words matter or not you'll be asking yourself why did so many things happen. Anyway, this movie will definitely be remembered and praised for a long time to come . This is a very bold and brave attempt from an Indian director.Hats off to Kamal sir for taking Tamil cinema to the next level , which is the level that will touch a persons brilliance . Final verdict, This is a must watch and a 'Truly Masterclass' movie...

First of all I have to admit that my expectations were quite high due to IMDb's rating. I mean: 9.3/10 from 27000 users! Who wouldn't fall for that? Hence - the disappointment.Script. Sure, there are some nice ideas but they are poorly executed, leaving you with the aftertaste of underdevelopment. And then there is the rest of the script - full of clichés, absurd situations, stitches and patches, all in an attempt to stress on some dramatic scene about a person you don't care about. A lot of characters with no background whatsoever. Putting them in a dramatic emotional scenes without the necessary personal depth is just wrong. Now, in general this problem could be partially masked by theActing. Fat chance! I understand that Kamal Hassan has a lot of experience and therefore a self-esteem to perform anything. And that's about all there is - an old man with an ego big enough to give life to otherwise weak character. I suddenly laughed somewhere in the middle of this movie, when I remembered that he actually wrote and directed his own act. That was the perfect example of why director, writer and actor should be all different people. As for the rest of the cast, it would've been much better if the viewer just didn't see the most of them at all. The ridiculous and absurd scenes have turned out to be somewhat funny when played by stiff and emotionally challenged individuals. In all fairness I'd like to point out the good performance Andrea Jeremiah gave as Ashmita. Well, the bar was not set... anywhere.The sound is very well done as expected from an Indian movie. The music is well placed and paced at the right moments, enhancing the effects the director was looking for. About the dialog - in general I'm not a fan of this Indian mix of English and Hindi since I never know when they will switch from English to something else and I will need to look at the subtitles searching for the middle of a sentence. Other than that, the actors use the right language in the right situation/country.The visuals' quality is spread between poor and average. Well, some of them are somewhat good but since it's 2013 and "The Matrix" was 14 years ago I was not awed by them...I'd like to spare you some negativity and skip the shooting scenes altogether. The fighting scene was only one and lasted for about 20 seconds but check this out - repeated immediately after in slower motion. Don't you love it when a guy with a gun is walking towards an unarmed man right until he is at a convenient short distance.Well, I get it - the Indians are proud nation and like their own work. Still, this rating really made me doubt the accuracy of IMDb. So the scores of this Action/Crime/Thriller would really be:Story: 5/10 Script: 2/10Acting: 3/10 Lead: 5/10Music: 8/10 Sounds: 7/10 Dialogue: 5/10Camera: 6/10 Visuals: 3/10Action: 4/10 Crime: 4/10 Thriller: 3/10Overall: 5.5/10When you are rated 9.3/10 but only deliver 5.5/10 - that is how to fail the expectations.

Vishwaroop (Hindi Version) was spectacular , spellbinding and engrossing.Vishwanathan is a Kathak dance teacher leading a normal happy married life. However , his life turns topsy-turvy when he and wife are captured by Muslim terrorist leader Omar.Directed , acted and produced by himself , Kamal Hassan goes one step further to create a admirable character of Vishwaroop. Forget about the controversies surrounding the film as it had no objectionable scenes which portrays Muslim community in bad light, the movie was made with sheer effort and hard work and it really pays off. Right from the beginning, the films boast some great performances , good-old action scenes with stunning visuals and powerful storyline. The movie dips little bit in the end but picks up and delivers properly. Vishwaroop is an interesting thriller which has some great action sequences and cinematography of international standard. Hats off to Kamal Hassan for treating us with his ambitious project. Very good 4/5
