Vishwanath (Kamal Haasan) is a classical dance teacher in New York who is married to Nirupama, a nuclear oncologist. Nirupama appoints a detective agent to keep an eye on her husband and in this process, it is revealed that Viswanath is not a Hindu but a Muslim and he has a past and he hooked up with Nirupama for a reason. The detective agent gets caught by Omar (Rahul Bose) when the former goes after Viswanath and he gets to know horrifying truth about Vishwanath’s past which forms the crux.

 :: Performances ::

Kamal Haasan is known for his brilliant performance and with Vishwaroopam, he added yet another feather in his cap. He surprises and impresses us as a classical dancer and as a Muslim.

Pooja Kumar is beautiful and charming and she is impressive in her role performance wise. She has a good screen time and her dubbing in Telugu suited her aptly.

Andrea Jeremiah is ok, Rahul Bose is outstanding, Sekhar Kapoor, Nassar are convincing. Others were adequate.

:: Technical Analysis ::

Cinematography by Sanu Varghese is brilliant, the locales of Afghanistan are well captured and camera work stands out in the film. Musical scores are excellent but a couple of songs are misplaced while background score is quite impressive. Action sequences are fantastically shot. Kamal Haasan has succeeded well in direction department while screenplay is interesting but the narration could’ve been speeded up. Editing could’ve been better. Viswaroopam is technically brilliant.

Analysis:

This film is an action drama based on terrorism. Kamal Haasan didn't take sides in this film and hence there is so much reality in the portrayal of the story. Most of the times directors take either the army or terrorists side and you can see one side approach in those films.

Viswaroopam had content that has nothing to hurt sentiments of any Religion or Community and Kamal Haasan has tried to show the facts and anti-terrorism aspects. He deserves appreciation for his Sincere efforts making such sensible film on a large scale. Viswaroopam joins the list of Good Films of Kamal Haasan.

 :: Final Verdict ::

Viswaroopam  Indian movie With International Making Standards
