Four
years
after
the
release
of
his
2014
film
Robo,
Superstar
Rajinikanth
has
made
a
grand
comeback
with
his
latest
outing
Vikramasimha,
which
is
the
dubbed
version
of
his
much-talked
about
film
Kochadaiyaan.
KS
Ravikumar
has
written
the
story,
while
Rajini's
daughter
Soundarya
directed
the
film,
which
has
been
produced
by
Eros
International
with
a
whopping
budget
of
Rs
125
crores.

Vikramasimha
is
motion
capture
3D
computer-animated
period
film
and
Rajinikanth's
acting
is
the
main
highlight
of
the
movie.
KS
Ravikumar's
wonderful
script,
AR
Rahman's
melodious
music,
Rajiv
Menon's
picturisation,
Peter
Hein's
action
and
war
scenes,
well-choreographed
dance
sequences,
Deepika
Padukone's
acting
and
Digitally
created
Nagesh's
scenes
are
other
attractions
in
it.
But
poor
graphics
work
is
one
major
drawback
of
the
film.
After
Rajinikanth,
KS
Ravikumar-written
story
is
the
second
hero
in
Vikramasimha,
which
is
the
fictional
account
of
Pandiyan
king
Kochadaiiyaan
Ranadhiran's
life
and
his
conquests.
It
shows
the
benevolent
king's
sense
of
justice
and
his
fight
against
the
evils.
For
the
first
time
in
India,
the
facial
performance
capture
technology,
which
was
used
in
Hollywood
movies
like
Tin
Tin
and
Avatar,
has
been
used
in
this
movie
to
recreate
live
actors
performance
in
3D.
Director
Soundarya
Rajinikanth
has
got
good
grip
on
the
narration
of
Vikramasimha.
Rajini's
voice
and
AR
Rahman's
couple
of
composition
will
keep
you
engrossed
in
the
narration
in
the
first
half
of
the
film.
Rajini's
acting
and
a
war
scenes
are
enjoyable
in
the
second
half.
When
compared
to
the
first
half,
the
second
half
of
the
film
is
very
entertaining.
Rana
(Rajinikanth)
is
fighting
to
regain
the
lost
glory
of
his
father
Vikramsimha
(Rajinikanth).
Valiant
warrior
Rana
impresses
the
king
of
Kalingpuram.
He
wins
his
trust
and
on
his
advise,
the
king
declares
a
war
against
Kottaipattanam.
But
the
king
is
shocked
to
see
Rana
supporting
his
rival
king
in
the
battlefield.
Kalingpuram
king
is
hurt
by
Rana's
betrayal
and
now
he
seeks
revenge
against
him.
On
the
the
side,
Kottaipattanam
king
is
moved
by
Rana's
work
in
the
battlefield
and
appoints
him
as
the
Commander
In
Chief.
What
happens
next
will
form
the
crux
of
the
story.
Rajinikanth's
costumes,
action
dialogue
diction
are
impressive
and
he
is
the
showman
in
Vikramasimha.
His
young
looks
are
also
good.
Deepika
has
done
her
best,
but
her
looks
are
not
so
good.
The
digitally
created
Nagesh
characters
is
fantastic,
Aadhi,
Sarathkumar,
Jackie
Shroff
and
others'
looks
are
good
in
their
respective
respective
roles.
Vikramasimha
has
rich
production
values
and
AR
Rahman's
music
is
main
attraction
in
the
technical
front.
His
background
score,
which
is
one
the
big
assets
of
the
film,
is
superb
in
war
sequences.
Rajiv
Menon's
cinematography
is
good.
Other
departments
have
also
done
commendable
job.
The
motion
capture
3D
computer-animation
technology
is
good,
but
it
is
not
upto
the
Hollywood
standards.
Overall,
Vikramasimha
is
a
wonderful
experiment
in
Indian
cinema,
but
it
may
not
impress
many
Rajini
fans.
The
movie
has
an
interesting
story
and
it
could
have
been
a
brilliant
movie
for
Rajini
fans,
if
it
was
brought
to
the
screen
without
the
animated
photo-realistic
motion
picture
format.
