Vikram Vedha Review
Remakes are always tricky – at times makers hit it out of the park and at times, the film falls flat on its face. This week’s release, Vikram Vedha falls in the former category, as director duo, Pushkar and Gayatri adapt their Tamil Original to perfection for the Hindi-speaking audience and elevate the impact by making optimum utilization of Hrithik Roshan’s superstardom, and Saif Ali Khan’s screen presence.
First things first, Vikram Vedha is among the most complex screenplays of modern times, which has been simplified in projection to make the film reach out to a wider section of the audience. The narrative of this action thriller speaks volumes about Pushkar & Gayatri’s command over their craft. The film rides on smart writing, loaded with twists and turns which keep you on the edge of your seat, and has enough action sequences infused at the right moments resulting in high points at regular intervals.
The high points of Vikram Vedha include Saif Ali Khan’s introduction, which reaches at its peak with Vedha aka. Hrithik Roshan’s arrival, the plot twist at the end of the first tale, and the intermission block. There’s also a quirky action sequence featuring Hrithik in the first half that lands very well. The momentum continues in the second half as well, particularly the last 45 minutes which elevates the overall impact of the entire story. Of course, Vikram Vedha is not devoid of drawbacks. The romantic track of Saif Ali Khan and his wife, Radhika Apte, doesn’t land as well as expected and just adds on to the run-time.
