Plot
Vivegam
narrates
the
story
of
AK,
who
is
one
of
the
high
profile
spy
agents.
During
a
crucial
mission,
things
turn
against
him
and
even
his
family
is
pushed
to
danger.
A
group
of
agents
are
now
assigned
to
track
him
down
and
how
AK
comes
out
of
this,
has
been
shown
in
Vivegam.
Performances
-
Ajith
Kumar
Without
a
doubt,
it
could
be
said
that
this
man
is
the
biggest
positive
of
Vivegam.
His
amazing
screen
presence
and
towering
performance
as
AK,
keeps
the
film
moving.
A
tailor-made
role
for
him
with
the
style
quotient
ruling
over
everything
else.
The
efforts
that
he
has
put
in
for
the
film
is
phenomenal.
It
could
be
seen
that
he
has
done
everything
that
the
director
demanded
and
is
a
royal
treat
for
all
his
fans
as
they
could
see
their
favourite
star
in
full
form,
throughout
the
movie.
He
will
surely
stun
you
with
the
action
sequences,
where
he
goes
at
full
throttle.
Rest
Of
The
Cast
Vivegam
also
features
actors
like
Vivek
Oberoi,
Kajal
Agarwal,
Akshara
Haasan,
Karunakaran
and
a
host
of
other
foreigners
in
important
roles.
Vivek
Oberoi
plays
Aryan.
While
his
performance
is
good,
the
dubbing
voice
and
modulations
were
a
mismatch.
Kajal
Agarwal
as
Yazhini
has
given
a
decent
performance
and
thankfully,
it
is
not
a
blink
and
miss
role
for
her.
Akshara
Haasan
plays
the
role
of
a
hacker
and
she
has
comparatively
lesser
screen
space.
Karunakaran's
comedy
sequences
will
offer
occasional
laughs.
Direction
–
Siva
Unlike
his
previous
movies,
this
time
the
director
has
opted
for
an
international
backdrop.
He
has
used
the
latest
technologies
to
make
the
film
slick
and
stylish.
More
importantly,
the
major
mission
of
the
director
was
to
portray
Ajith
in
a
full-fledged
avatar,
in
which
he
has
succeeded
up
to
an
extent.
Had
he
concentrated
slightly
more
on
the
scripting
department,
the
audiences
would
have
got
a
film
that
transcends
time.
Music
&
BGM
–
Anirudh
The
songs
from
Vivegam
have
already
hit
the
right
chords.
Be
it
Surviva
or
the
melodious
Kaadhalada,
they
deliver
the
respective
feels
associated
with
them.
But,
in
films
like
Vivegam,
BGM
holds
due
importance
and
Anirudh
has
once
again
done
a
good
job.
Watch
out
for
the
stunning
BGM
in
the
pre-interval
sequence.
How
Is
The
Movie?
Vivegam
is
one
such
movie,
which
can
be
categorized
as
a
spy
thriller.
Such
thrillers
are
not
very
common
in
Tamil
cinema,
even
though
it's
much
seen
in
Bollywood.
Vivegam
has
an
international
backrop
and
is
definitely
a
notch
higher
than
other
films,
as
far
as
the
technical
standrads
are
considred.
Coming
to
the
storyline
of
Vivegam,
it
is
not
anything
new
for
the
audiences,
who
have
watched
umpteen
number
of
spy
thrillers
in
Hollywood.
But,
certain
twists
that
unveil
in
the
due
course
of
narration,
offer
the
much
required
sense
of
excitement
to
the
audiences.
Vivegam
takes
its
own
time
to
engage
the
audiences.
From
halfway
down
the
first
half,
audiences
can
fasten
their
seatbelt
for
an
action-filled
ride.
Action
sequences
are
the
major
highlight
of
the
movie,
along
with
the
mass
moments
offered
by
Ajith.
These
two
factors
keep
the
audiences
hooked
throughout.
Watch
out
for
the
pre-interval
sequence,
which
offers
an
adrenaline
rush,
for
all
the
fans
of
the
star.
On
the
flip
side,
there
are
certain
logical
loopholes
in
the
movie,
questioning
the
common
sense
of
the
audiences.
Moreover,
it
was
not
at
all
convincing
to
see
the
foreigners
mouthing
some
Tamil
dialogues.
Verdict
If
you
wish
to
see
Ajith
in
a
full-fledged
stylish
avatar
and
some
stunning
actions
sequences,
Vivegam
will
serve
as
the
right
choice
for
you.
