Vivegam (2017) Online

This is the only film in my entire life, I walked out of the cinema before the Interval. Don't they even watch the film by themselves, before the release? Waste of Ajith's talent and every viewers time. Well done Akshara, only consolation. Scripts are very much dramatic. I don't usually write reviews. I am so fuming with anger, hence I decide to give a piece of my mind. Also heard that it is a box office hit...., you can't be serious.

This is another typical one man taking on hundreds of goons kind of movie. Do not waste your time and money on this piece of waste. Kajal is just a side character with no real importance at all and is just a filler. expected much after the success of Vedalam, but this is a plain mockery ! watch at your own risk

This movie is strictly for die-hard Ajith sir fans. The movie started off with illogical scenes which could have been avoided. There are many action sequences in the movie. Some of the action sequences were very well crafted kudos to Ajith Sir and the stunt master. The plot is very well predictable and clichéd. The casting was good not great. The antagonist played by Vivek Oberoi was not well carried with the film. The dialogues were very poorly written. With time Tamil Cinema has been emerging and in 2017 no one can digest Lead actor taking down 100 men without getting shot. I hope Siva comes out of his comfort zone and try to make some logical movies.

Pros: -Ajith Sir -Few action scenes are crafted really well -Editing

Cons: -Director Siva -Cliched plot -There are many scenes where Vivek keeps praising Ajith and portrays him as a

demigod. This could have been avoided -Direction was pretty bland. -Illogical scenes -DIalogues -Kajal Agarwal -Climax scene. -Very glossy cinematography.

It could have been better. I am giving this movie 4 /10 and that's only for Ajith sir's hard work. His transformation form Vedalam's bloated tummy look to a fit body is very much appreciated. I am pretty sure Ajith sir will comeback with good scripts. Hope director Siva learns a lesson from this movie.

WHY IS THIS RATED 7 STARS.

I am a die hard fan of Ajith and i could not bare even first five minutes of this movie.

my review in short words. I do not even want to waste my time to review this film.

Cliché. Boring. Shoots at-least a 100 men in 5 seconds and do not event get a scratch. Worst direction. Worst cinematography. Shitty dialogues.

Please do not make movies like this ever. I am begging to everyone who are making dumb films like this.

Vivegam clearly depicts the Director's lack of understanding on the definition of "International Action cinema". This was an mere attempt to make an "international" thriller, with the assumption that a star with a huge fan base would be able to pull it off.

This movie failed to break from their regular show with poor characterization and satisfactory screen play, to conclude miserably failed to connect the audience. Perhaps, Ajith action was amazing which is the saving grace of the movie. Anirudh music was also a plus to the movie.

To conclude, Vivegam is just an "one man show" with action sequences that are rather dull and lifeless.

Vivegam is literally a parody of many Spy thrillers. This movie has such an awful outing with a rubbish screenplay flashed with illogical scenes and questions the viewers imagination whatsoever. The actors and technicians who looked genuine and worked hard but the execution of this movie went haywire. Especially the hype it has created before release were completely bombed with the poor outcome.

Story line: In Europe, there is a Counter terrorism squad of 5 friends who plans to stop the 3 Plutonium weapons which is buried in the lands of India. Obviously the well known fact in many Ajith movies and the cliché of Tamil movies, AK's friends betrays him as it is their plan of executing the weapon which is also headed by his close friend Vivek Oberai. The second half becomes like cat & mouse game and ends with similar fashion.

What went wrong?

1. The Story line is very simple but the execution went too ambiguous from the start. 2. The Chasing, investigation & the use of technology like Hacking & tracking is beyond a mess. It looked as easy and as simple as like eating our daily food. 3. Illogical action sequences like the Introduction sequence in the bridge was funny as hell, Fight scene with the Albanian thugs were comical, then the Tunnel scene followed by the train track sequence is out of logic and the redemption of Kajal Aggarwal is such a old fashioned scene. Of course the climax sequence was pure MGRish :P 4. The Fast editing hasn't worked well at all. The power of conveying the story and the emotions towards the audience hasn't gelled well enough. 5. I have never seen a Hero worshiping Villain in any of the film. This curbs the challenge for the hero. Poor stuff. 6. The Astounding heroism shown for AK has also curbed the soul of the movie. From the very first scene of Ak, we can understand there is going to be nothing challenging for him which makes the movie falls flat with low intensity. 7. Songs were poorly choreographed except Kadhalada & Never give up

What worked?

1. Ajith Kumar has done his job. Have seen his lots of efforts has been wasted. Kajal looked decent enough as per her character but screenplay played a mess with her especially with the climax part was like century old trash. Akshara was good with the pivotal role. 2. Cinematography was really promising. It was really pleasant to watch Europe which looked fresh with interesting visuals but also annoyed by its candid shaking stuffs. 3. Bike chasing scene is for Ajith fans but a solid made effort for a Tamil movie. 4. Songs & BGMs were good. Anirudh is the real life saver of this movie. His BGM carried the intensity throughout the end.

On the whole, this was such a poor product from the Writer & Director Mr.Siva. The promise he made us with the teaser and the trailer have proved wrong with the movie's outcome.

I would not recommend this movie to my friends and well wishers. Waste of money and your precious time.

Surprised I'm alive after watching the movie. Couldn't sit through the movie, but oh! I paid 300rs for this and can't waste my money! Stupid of me! This is one of the worst movies ever made. And not just on Tamil. Worst movie of all the languages that exist. A good effort by the actor I guess, but nothing new. But wouldn't recommend it. There are many other good movies of Ajith and this one is definitely not worth your money or time. The movie doesn't even make any sense at some places.

The movie was supposed to be in an international action style ( almost like Fast and Furious) and it has failed miserably. It was just an awful one man show and not really logical. I personally enjoyed Vedalam, but this was just awful. Especially the slow dialogues and song scenes are just cringe worthy. Ajith has a lot of blind fans, fans who just love the person, his looks and personality, but have no idea of what acting is or the quality of it.They just support his movies blindly. Im someone who prefers a better acting rather than the big name actors. His role and acting in Vedalam was outstanding, but this was just too much. I hope he doesn't go for movies with a plot like this.

Bad film in ajith's carrier. No logic in story, very bad sentimental scenes, worst & horrible fight sequences made the film a black mark.

Ajith's effort has been wasted and also the tamil audience money. Producer will be getting money back but not the chance of siva.

More work has to be done on story & screen play. Nothing will stop the film to go to dusts. Biggest mistake in ajith's life.

Even if I'm not an Ajith Kumar fan, my expectations were high for Vivegam since it was advertised as a "Hollywood" level action-thriller movie. But after watching the movie, it is was a huge disappointment for me.

The movie starts with a funny note, yes funny, Ajith Kumar after telling his punch dialogue in Tamil Language (to non-Tamil speaking people !), jumped off a bridge (horrible intro for an 'international spy thriller'). There are lot of loopholes in the script. The romance scenes between Ajith Kumar and Kajal didn't work out, zero chemistry between them, Ajith Kumar looked too old for Kajal. Vivek Oberoi's role was interesting in the first scenes but his repetitive hero glorification became cringe worthy at one point. The interval twist was highly predictable : the villain is none other than Vivek Oberoi (meh !). At least the first half of the movie was watchable but then came the draggy second half and the worst was the climax. At the end of the film, Kajal Agarwal starts to sing like Paravai Muniamma in Dhool to motivate Ajith. As expected, Ajith rips off his shirt and reveals his muscular body, and destroys Vivek Oberoi.

Technically, Vivegam has good Music/BGM, good cinematography, some high-voltage action sequences, Ajith did a great work here, has given his heart to the movie. Unfortunately, the direction/screenplay/story of Siva was bad, very bad. To sum up, this movie is all about (too much) glorifying Ajith. This movie can satisfy Ajith fans but not the general audience.

I don't usually watch Tamil movies but I was curious to see Akshara Hassan on screen for the first time. In all honesty, she did OK. Her screen time was so limited and I wished she had a bigger role because the other heroine was extremely annoying to watch. Seriously...why did they even cast her. She was completely unnecessary.

Anyway, from the start, the movie was just painful to watch. Ajit Kumar is one of my favorite actors but this just wasn't doing him any justice. Why was he made to utter such unnecessary garbage dialogues throughout the movie? It was making me sick quite honestly.

And a few things to note: 1. If the characters are of foreign nationality, just let them speak their language. What's with the awful voice-overs??

2. The camera shakes a lot at the start of the movie and this is unbearably irritating.

3. I know a lot of Hollywood action flicks tend to have ridiculous stunts and illogical scenes but somersaulting into a freaking dam with an army ready to shoot the crap out of AK just made me curse the people who made this movie.

A movie that does not live up to the expectation and hype.A big budget action gimmick that caters for hardcore ajith kumar fans and action film geeks.The movie has a weak plot with decent interval block followed by a weaker climax.The movie deliver nothing but disappointment,Logical flaws and clichés considering the story line.Good visuals, Anirudhs racy background score and lead actors screen presence makes the general audience sit through the film.If you are a fan of hardcore logic less action sequence may be the film will satisfy you.Yet another below average movie from Siva-Ajith combo.

Tried for a international movie .. good one ... but poor screenplay makes irritate while watching. Used lot of hard work but director wasted that all. Story platform looks like Thandavam Tamil movie. Worst dialogue sequence ever scene . other than hero all all praising only hero even villain praising whole movie, he was villain or some other music instrument of hero we don't know. chemistry of hero and heroin is not at all good. We need to appreciate hero's hard work means y this film instead of this tell him to release only gym video we will appreciate ... overall disappointed..

Only hardcore ajith fans can enjoy this movie. For regular users this is not a movie to watch as there are many scenes where you may feel this movie is dragging and going in a pointless direction right from the start. Lot of loopholes in the script. Poor introduction scene for the actor without any logic whatsoever and the graphics effect does not live up to it's reputation. There appears to be no chemistry between the hero and heroine and in most scenes it looks like an affection between a brother and sister if not dad and daughter. Villain role in this movie does not appear very strong and he appears to be keeping on giving build up for hero which makes the villain just a dummy piece right from the start. Apart from quite a few scenes, this movie is a big let down and its a movie which the regular viewers (non-ajith fans) should give a miss.

An epic to Tamil film industry. It's kinda feel that are we watching a Tamil film or a international film.The strength and the backbone of the film is none another the mass HERO THALA'AJITH'.The pillars of the film is Dir.SIVA and cinematography by VETRI and Editor RUBEN and Music by ANIRUDH. Each frame came like a bullet and gives you a goosebumps every minute. Emotions of a husband and wife..wow factor worked there.It's like Mangatha PART-2 like the MASS Into,Interval,Climax.25 years of determination yes indeed, I admire and respect. A trademark in his film history and a huge treat for all THALA'AJITH' FANS. AJITH sir have to join in movies like 'JAMES BOND-Film's' 'MISSION IMPOSSIBLE'and 'FAST AND FURIOUS'.

Well. I won't spoil anything Let me keep it short and simple Good and tremendous effort by the actor And top notch cinematography But too much loophoes and missing plot Poor work in script And could have shortened the dialogue cause Seemed too theatrical Not worst but disappointing

Mr. Ajith has performed a fabulous role of giving whatever the director has asked him to do, the efforts of this man is really commendable without any doubts (I am a huge fan of "thala") but the screenplay and story-line lacks any weight at all. Bringing too much sentiment dialogues in a spy thriller is truly the biggest mistake of the movie. I sincerely wish that the movie recovers the investment but I do not want to watch Ajith Sir with Director Siva hereafter ! On the whole this could have been much more interesting movie if Mr. Ajith had done with any other Director except Siva.

The reason for saying it is a must watch is because, at least after seeing this movie, the impression on Indian Action movies among the audiences will change. This is one hell of an action ride.

The movie revolves around a SPY agent 'AK' and his quest to stop the people who wants to create artificial earthquakes using Plutonium weapons.

I like this movie not because the genre is new to Indian Cinema. It is because the way they executed it. Apart from some cliché heroism like evading hundreds of bullets, the movie is executed upon a beautiful emotional quotient.

The stunt sequences are too brilliant and the way it was conceived by the writer and executed by him.

Coming to the story part, the writer(and director) Siva has come up with the usual spy story. But instead of exploring the story, he made it a cat and mouse game kinda screenplay. It itches a little bit when we see something that could've been explored better was left to be a thin plot instead.

Pros :

1. Jet Speed Screenplay,

2. Action Sequences,

3. Ajith's Screen Presence

4. Siva's Direction

5. No smoking, drinking, glamour scenes or vulgar dialogues.

6. Screenplay talking about self motivation and positivity.

Cons :

1. CG could've been better.

2. Climax is tooooooo f*****g dramatic.

3. Predictable interval twist.

I came by some reviewers saying it is not logical in some scenes (like the dam scene). I would say, "Folks! This is how spy movies are made. This is how action movies are made. Period!!!" If you can accept people falling from planes with their cars, why would this disturb you? Just because it is an Indian movie?? or because it is not directed by Shankar or Rajamouli?? Change your view people. Take pride when it happens.

Overall: This movie is a treat for Action Movie lovers. It is a WORTHY PopCorn Flick. Go for it!!!

This movie is a perfect spy thriller movie. This movie was given mixed reviews to positive reviews from critics, despite the degradation of the movie from many sides. This movie is a complete family entertainer, with no aggressive or brutal scenes. The protagonist, Ajith Kumar's role in this movie and his hard work for the movie was critically acclaimed. Overall, it is a worth-watching movie, and a complete feast for the fans of the actor, Ajith Kumar !!!

Too many logical flaws..fights scenes are boring and making to laugh.It's OK to accept VFX for fight scenes..as far as I know this is one and only film VFX used to show hero's physique very bad..Mr Ajith Kumar really has to work hard to keep up his personality or handsomeness. Otherwise he may get pushed into second heroes pool because Cinema not like before.. it's very competitive. His dialogue delivery is not as good as before. Not even tried to convince his own fans. End of the day, it's all going to shake the producers cold money.. I am really really Sorry for the producer of this movie. Mr producer of this movie.. from next venture on wards please put more attention to choose logically convincing and promising story, sensible, knowledgeable director and obviously good actor if not I am really sorry to say this again, you may have to face one more big loss.

One of the best mocie i would seen ever in south cinema super duper good dialogues and the story is also plus point of a movie you are understand the story how the technology use and missused i thjs days in the world 9/10

Vivegam (2017): When you're in a mass-hero film, two important aspects are prerequisite. One: Whether it has a panoply of mass scenes to make your theatre experience... deafening. And two, whether it caters to the star's fans.If the movie is a typical commercial film,we may allow that but when the movie is hyped as a spy thriller with grandeur scale and costly production values,we seriously expect a decent experience.Did Vivegam achieve it? Plot: Ajay Kumar (AK) is an agent working for a counter terrorism agency. The agency is in Serbia. He is wanted by 80 countries and many agencies as he is suspected to have gone rogue, misusing his power.His former friends in the agency headed by Aryan (Vivek Oberoi) are now hunting for him. In turn, Ajith Kumar is after people who betrayed him when he was on a mission to track Natasha (Akshara).How AK finds his betrayers and also saves his wife Yazhini (Kajal) is the rest of the story.

My Review: Five minutes into the movie,the opening scene itself clarifies that the so-hyped spy film is just another fan-mela film with unnecessary build-up shots and loud music.

Consider Ajith's introduction scene. An army officer locks a weapons deal with a terrorist organisation. When he's cautioned about the Counter Terrorist Squad, the general says, "Even the wind needs my permission to enter into my territory." Ideally, you would expect Ajith Kumar to show up. But the wind gently ruffles Ajith's salt-and-pepper hair.There are lot of fan moments in the film and scene after scene makes this movie look like a Fan-Made trailer sorta thing.

Director Siva and Ajith, in their third consecutive collaboration, go all out to present a film on an international scale and going by the standards they've set, it's truly remarkable. The attempt is ambitious and the team's effort is commendable, but what's the point of all this hard work when it is not backed by an engaging story. Despite going international, in terms of scale and vision, Siva's filmmaking style is still loud and over-the-top mostly. It defeats the whole purpose of giving the story an international touch.

Except for ridiculous opening scene,rest of the action scenes are handled good but have lot of illogical factors.The pre-interval portion, especially the stretch that leads to Akshara Haasan's introduction, is easily the film's best sequence. It builds the tension effectively and is followed by a breathtaking chase sequence on the streets of Serbia.

Ajith in the role of an agent is in top form. He has done some high-octane action sequences terrifically. Indeed it is his show all the way.Ajith's physical transformation deserves special praise, and he has worked really hard, despite shooting in extreme climatic conditions. He carries the film on his shoulders and turns in a never seen before kind of performance.

Music is bad and Cinematographer must have undergone severe pain following the directors messy vision.

So,Vivegam may look grand because of foreign locations and action scenes but it is just a typical mass-masala film.Watch it only for Ajith and action scenes.

My Rating 5.5/10

Two years of wait is over finally ;) Cinematography, Art Work, Editing, Action sequences, Emotions between Husband and wife, Music (including bgm) are the big advantage to this venture of Thala Ajith and Siva. Most importantly, the amount of efforts put in by Thala for the movie is command-able. Akshara's role could have been given a little more time given the weight-age of her character in the narration. Credits to the director for believing in Kajal's acting ability given her screen presence in the movie elsewhere, the heroines just look beautiful in mass action movies. The story-line is very predictable towards the end of first half, even though Thala has done a command-able job and his charisma is just mesmerizing yet again. It would have been even better, if Vivek Oberoi's role had got more fire power in the second half in particular and the suspense was carried throughout for at least 2 hrs of run time ;) Overall a Visual Treat

VIvegam is just another mass type movie but fails on many aspects. Completely illogical action scenes along with terrible screenplay really ruin the movie. Ajith tries his best, but there is only so much an actor can do with a terrible director in charge. Vivek Oberoi's character could have been explored more, but he spends 99% of his time praising his enemy, to the point it's very annoying. Other illogical scenes include white people speaking Tamil, and any scene with Kajal Aggrawal.

The only positive side was the use of VFX, and some of the cinematography. Otherwise, it's a terrible movie. Will not recommend

Worth because of #Thala Ajithkumar has struggled a lot. A new try in the kollywood. Dir siva should frame a story with logics
