Kamal Hassan’s biggest-ever film Viswaroopam, which has been delayed
for one or the other reason, has seen the light of day in foreign
countries but not in Tamil Nadu and other Southern states as the High
Court has stayed the release after several Muslim groups raised
objection.
After a gap of three years, Kamal Hassan is back with Viswaroopam,
which is written, directed and produced by himself. The film was
supposed to be directed by Selvaraghavan but as the director walked out
of the film due to other commitments, Kamal took the responsibility of
directing the film. The film is simultaneously made in Tamil, Telugu and
Hindi.
Story:
The movie starts in America. Viswanath (Kamal Hassan), who will be
seen as Kathak trainer, is surrounded by girls and one among them is
Andrea Jeremiah. This makes Dr Nirupama (Pooja Kumar) to doubt on her
hubby’s character and hires a detective, who gets killed by Al-Qaeda
group. The Al-Qaeda is planning to plant a Nuclear Bomb in New York and
Kamal Hassan is well-aware of it. How? He has a past where he has a
connection with the terrorist group, which is headed by Omar (Rahul
Bose).
Will the terrorist organisation succeed in their mission? What role
does Kamal play? Is he a terrorist or an undercover agent? To know all
these, you should watch the film. The story of the film begins on a slow
note but it is gripping. The first half is entirely shot in the US, and
keeps you engaged and generate a lot of curiosity. When it comes to
second half, the narration is dragging at parts but gets interesting
with Kamal Hassan’s past getting revealed
Performances :
The man, who has done countless experimental roles and called as the
modern-day Stanislavsky of Tamil cinema, is brilliant. Be it in his
avatar of Kathak dancer with feminine qualities, or in the role of a
terrorist, he proves again why he is the best when it comes to acting.
He looks terrific in the Jihadi warrior getup.Once again Kamal Hassan
has delivered a realistic and a classy performance and it will be
delight for the audience to watch an
actor like him on the big screen.
Pooja Kumar is a new find and she looks promising. She is sexy and adds glam quotient to the film.
Andrea Jeremiah has not got a big role and her role is not well described.
Shekhar Kapur did a decent job and Bollywood actor Rahul Bose is good
as a baddie. His dubbing could have been much better. Jaideep Ahlawat,
Nassar and Zarina Wahab have done their job.
Technical Aspects:
The director has come up with an interesting storyline and while the
presentation was rich, the narrative was engaging. The dialogues were
neat and sensible. Of all technical aspects, Sanu Varghese’s
cinematography stands tall, as he has done a brilliant job.
He has wonderfully captured some of the rarest locales of
Afghanistan. Shankar Ehsaan Loy’s two songs are good and background
score is excellent. Especially, it is a treat to watch the Jet Fighter
scenes on Auro 3D sound format. However, Mahesh Narayanan’s editing
would have been better had he reduced the length of the film.
Analysis:
Firstly Kamal Hassan must be appreciated for his sincere effort, as
always. The way he narrated the movie is completely brilliant and the
technical aspect like cinematography and action sequences are well
executed. Tittle song is good and it looked much effective at the time
of first fight. Entire theater was filled with claps and whistles for
this sequence, as everyone liked to see Kamal Hassan as an action hero
rather a classical dancer.
Kamal Hassan tried to show some sensible elements especially in the
Afghanistan episode. Scenes between Omar’s (Rahul) interaction with his
family and his guilt after knowing that he has lost his family are
touching. Vishwaroopam doesn’t have a huge star cast but every one has
done their job well. It was good to see the famous director Shekar Kapur
on big screen.
Viswaroopam might not go well with the masses but this film has been
made with highly technical values and will remain as one of the better
film of Legendary Actor Kamal Hassan.
