Vikram Vedha Movie Review: Hrithik Roshan & Saif Ali Khan film is ... (PINKVILLA)

Planning to watch Vikram Vedha this weekend? Here's our review of this Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan film.

Overall, Vikram Vedha is an action thriller designed to be best experienced on the big screen to celebrate the presence of Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan. The lack of a romantic track for either of the two leads (as demanded by the script) makes the reach a little concentrated, but nonetheless, it has enough to emerge as a winner for the audience in terms of a package for big-screen entertainment. Watch out for the metamorphizes of his character through the narrative, and the small tweaks in his body language. The rest of the cast is decent. He is simply phenomenal as Babloo, and stands tall in front of both, Hrithik and Saif. He gets his moments of those walks and displays bravado at the right moments. 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. There are some stars who are best experienced on the big screen and one of those is Hrithik Roshan. He gets into the skin of Vedha, and brings in an element of madness to it. Fida, which are sure to result in multiple clap-trap moments for the audience. Remakes are always tricky – at times makers hit it out of the park and at times, the film falls flat on its face. Of course, Vikram Vedha is not devoid of drawbacks.

IANS Review: 'Vikram Vedha': Hrithik, Saif shine in this mass ... (News)

Directors: Pushkar-Gayathri. Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan, Radhika Apte, Sharib Hashmi and Rohit Saraf. IANS Rating: ***1/2. By Akshay Acharya.

The music and choreography, though, are the weakest links of the film. The songs obstruct the narrative flow and play absolutely no part in advancing the plot. Vinod effectively brings out the essence of Kanpur and Lucknow as he holds the pulse of the leading lines in his frames. By the looks of it, it will. The lines between right and wrong blur in the film, so the cinematographer P.S. This is perhaps the first time that Hrithik plays a menacing gangster on screen, and boy, he does it with absolute finesse! There are hardly any body shots of Hrithik flexing his muscles, yet he shoulders the film with his portrayal. If Hrithik's Vedha is the simmering volcano waiting to unleash destruction. To do that when you have Hrithik performing for the camera is an unforgivable crime. (Vinod), we love you." Radhika Apte reunites with her 'Sacred Games' co-star Saif. Madhavan in action.

Earlier, Kamaal R Khan announced his retirement from film reviews and said Vikram Vedha would be the last film he would review.

It symbolises Burjeel Holdings’ ambition to become a global leader in healthcare based out of a country that has inspired the world with its fascinating growth story, he also said. The event was held to highlight Khan’s strong connection to the UAE. Khan lighted up the Burj Khalifa in a brand campaign for Burjeel Holdings, UAE’s biggest private healthcare operator. He further explained that all the episodes of season 7 saw combinations and next year he will surely request Taapsee Pannu to make her Koffee With Karan debut. Johar, on the last episode of the show, revealed why Taapsee Pannu, who gave multiple critical successes this year, was not invited to the show. Drishyam 2 is slated to hit the silver screen on November 18, 2022. One minute and twenty-two-second clip recapitulate the story of Vijay Salgaonkar, and his family as it repeats the first part of Drishyam in essence. The Tamil version of the film starred R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead roles. Ajay Devgn is back with one of the most intriguing characters, Vijay Salgaonkar. Earlier, Kamaal R Khan announced his retirement from film reviews and said Vikram Vedha would be the last film he would review. The climax of the film saw fifteen minutes of bullet firing and the action is worst than in Bhojpuri films.

Vikram Vedha review: Pushkar-Gayatri bring the best out of Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan in this massy remake - Latest Entertainment News on Zoom TV.

This film's footing relies heavily on performances, how the writing is suitable for the masses, and its second half. Many, might argue that this is a 3.5 stars film, which it would've been had Hrithik and Saif did not put together the performance they have. That this is a remake, but must be looked at a stand alone film too, is something that we must do, for the performances strike a chord, and the entire Lucknow set up is also something that sits well.

बताते चलें कि फिल्म के रीमेक बनाने के ऐलान के साथ ही रितिक रोशन और सैफ अली खान की तुलना साउथ के सुपरस्टार विजय सेतुपति और आर माधवन से होने लगी थी. लेकिन रितिक रोशन ने इस किरदार को एक नया आयाम दिया है.

The highlight of Vikram Vedha lies in the fact that it wastes no time in insinuating all the showdowns between Vikram and Vedha that eventually leads us to the events of the past that has accelerated the chain of situations in the present. Be it him eliminating his rivals in a menacing manner, narrating a new aspect of his story to Saif or his emotional scenes with his brother's character Shatak (Rohit Saraf), the actor is a blockbuster cinema in motion. The film runs in two timelines, one in the present and one in the past as we get sunk in deeo into the worlds of Vikram and Vedha. However, just like the legendary folklore of King Vikramaditya and the ghost Betaal, Vedha soon engages Vikram in a chain of questions which makes the latter question his sense of morality and judgement. [Hrithik Roshan ](https://www.desimartini.com/topic/hrithik-roshan/)and [Saif Ali Khan ](https://www.desimartini.com/topic/saif-ali-khan/)'s [Vikram Vedha ](https://www.desimartini.com/topic/vikram-vedha/)different is that the philosophical and whodunnit essence of the original has been perfectly retained by director duo Pushkar-Gayatri. The plot revolves around an encounter specialist Vikram (Saif Ali Khan) who despite shooting down several criminals goes to bed peacefully knowing that he hasn't killed anyone innocent.

Vikram Vedha movie review: This Hrithik, Saif-starrer packs ... (Hindustan Times)

Vikram Vedha movie review: Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan make each other shine bright in an enjoyable--if somewhat sanitised--remake of the Tamil cult ...

Vikram Vedha is a stylised, blown-up, and somewhat sanitised remake of a cult classic. Invariably, in a cop and gangster film, the latter walks away with the whistles and all the crowd’s love. Their chemistry is crackling and the best scenes of the film are always when Vikram and Vedha are talking, not fighting, or shooting, but merely engaged in dialogue. But that is the signature of Pushkar and Gayatri. The performances here are decent and not a shade on what these gents managed in Omkara and Guzaarish. The support cast is strong, particularly Radhika Apte and Sharib Hashmi, the latter thankfully cast against type in a role that allows him to showcase his versatility. The bottom line is that it is different enough to enjoy on its own, without comparisons. It is an interesting choice of setting for the story, as far removed from the original’s Chennai as possible and yet desi enough to retain the earthy touch of the script. Vikram Vedha is loosely based on the folktale of Vikram-Betaal. Surrounding this beautiful and layered folk-inspired script is an assortment of slick fight scenes and action sequences, and a Hrithik dance number. Each of the answers also helps him solve a case he is working on. The Hrithik Roshan and [Saif Ali Khan](https://www.hindustantimes.com/topic/saif-ali-khan)-starrer is a remake of the 2017 Tamil hit, which had Vijay Sethupathi and R Madhavan in those roles respectively.

वेधा अपनी कहानियों के जरिए विक्रम के साथ-साथ आपको भी अपनी दुनिया में ले जाता है. फिल्म की कहानी आपको एक के बाद एक राइड पर लेकर जाती है और अपनी सीट से जोड़े रखती है. यहीं से शुरू हुआ विक्रम और वेधा के बीच चूहे-बिल्ली का खेल और कहानियों का सिलसिला, जो ढेरों ट्विस्ट और टर्न्स के साथ शॉकिंग और दिलचस्प डिटेल्स से भरा है. अपने अभी तक के करियर में 18 लोगों की जान ले चुके विक्रम और उसकी स्पेशल टीम को एक ही आदमी की तलाश है. महीनों से विक्रम और उसकी टीम वेधा की तलाश कर रही है. बेताल पच्चीसी के उसी कॉन्सेप्ट को डायरेक्टर पुष्कर और गायत्री ने पुलिस और गैंगस्टर पर आधारित फिल्म के रूप में दर्शकों को परोसा है.

Vikram Vedha Review: Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan Bring Back ... (News18)

Vikram Vedha Review: Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan, and Pushkar–Gayathri deliver a massy entertainer.

The first half of the film features two chapters — one from Saif’s perspective and the other from Hrithik’s. Although the film focuses a little more on Vedha and his tales, Vinod helps Pushkar and Gayathri make a flawed hero out of Saif as well. Besides the visual and audio experience, Vikram Vedha’s powerful weapon is a strong script. Bottomline: Despite its flaws, Vikram Vedha is a massy theatrical film that serves as a fun single-screen theatre experience. As the folklore goes, Vikram ventures into the deep dark forest to retract Betaal, a looming soul attached to a tree, to present him in front of a saint and help his kingdom. Much like the age-old tale, Vikram is intertwined in Vedha ‘Betaal’s’ stories, leaving him to answer between the right and wrong choice. The shift in morale takes the film in a new direction, even until the last twist. The cinematography is elevated by powerful music by Sam C. A remake of the Tamil film by the same name, Hrithik is joined by classy Saif Ali Khan, and together, they present a massy film that The trio manages to balance out Hrithik with Saif. While I am consciously refraining from revealing spoilers about the film, what I can tell you about Vikram Vedha is that it is a treat for the eyes, especially for Hrithik Roshan fans. Before I dive into the review, I have to confess, I did not watch the original film.

What is right and what is wrong? [Radhika Apte](https://indianexpress.com/about/radhika-apte/) reprises Shraddha Srinath’s role, doing a nice job of the ‘vakeel’ who plays footsie with her cop spouse. The cop’s wife being a lawyer to the ungodly was a nice touch, but her dance-a-deux with the devil wasn’t as believable. Hindi cinema has forgotten how to do this, and it’s taken ‘outsiders’ like Pushkar-Gayatri, whose web series ‘Suzhal’ has been one of the best offerings on the web this year, to show them the way. It had a crisp pace, the undercurrent of humour, the smart plotting which made light of its density, and all of it overlaid by that zippy theme tune, ‘Vikram Vedha’ was a cracking good time at the movies. Most importantly, the lead duo has more swag than swagger, and that makes all the difference.

Pushkar-Gayatri's Hindi adaptation of their Tamil film stars Roshan, Saif Ali Khan and Radhika Apte.

We request you to support our award-winning journalism by making a financial contribution towards the Scroll Ground Reporting Fund. Do we believe Vedha because of what he is saying or because of the movie star who is doing the asking? The often-banal Hindi dialogue by BA Fida and Manoj Muntashir, which is overlaid by deafening background music, is more concerned with rolling out punchlines than raising doubts about what we think we know about crime and punishment. As a member of a special task force in Uttar Pradesh, Vikram is an expert in dressing up extra-judicial executions. Knowing well that Sethupathi is irreplaceable, Pushkar-Gayatri have moulded the Hindi-language Vedha around Hrithik Roshan, who brings immense star power to the role along with a newfound ease before the camera. For Vikram Vedha, Roshan sheds the kilos, acquires an age-appropriate scruffiness and never makes the mistake of trying to imitate Sethupathi.

Vikram Vedha Review: Hrithik Roshan And Saif Ali Khan Deliver ... (NDTV)

Saif Ali Khan makes a far better Vikram. Hrithik Roshan harnesses his star appeal and screen presence to deliver the goods.

But these are but small blips in a power-packed, compelling action thriller that knows exactly what it is getting at and achieves its ends with aplomb. Be that as it may, Radhika Apte, stepping into Shraddha Srinath's shoes as Vikram's lawyer-wife, Satyadeep Mishra playing Vikram's police academy mate SSP Abbas Ali (replacing the Tamil film's Simon), and Sharib Hashmi in the role of Vedha's foe-turned-friend-turned-foe Babloo add their mite to the film. The credit for that accrues as much to the technicians as to the writers (the directors themselves). A woman doing her job, her husband doing his and the two at loggerheads with each other - this recipe for marital discord adds a layer to the story that occasionally yanks it away from the hurly-burly of the police station and deposits it within the walls of domesticity. The end of violence seems nigh when the dreaded Vedha turns himself in to the police. Banish that thought and calibrate your expectations accordingly and Vikram Vedha, Pushkar and Gayatri's reshaping of their own 2017 Tamil smash hit of the same title, is a meaty mass entertainer that packs quite a punch.

Vikram Vedha movie review and release LIVE updates: Saif Ali ... (Times of India)

Saif Ali Khan and Hrithik Roshan's action flick 'Vikram Vedha' hits theatres today, September 30. The Pushkar-Gayathri film follows Vikram, an honest.

Saif Ali Khan is all geared up for his upcoming film, ‘Vikram Vedha’ and is busy promoting the film with his co-starring Hrithik Roshan. And the reason there are so many is that everyone is different. His mean avatar has left fans eagerly waiting for the film, which will hit the screens on Friday. When the rest of the actors were trying to be the hero, trying to have that swag, he was just being himself. The Pushkar-Gayathri film recorded a collection of an estimated Rs 5 crore nett which puts it in line for a double-digit opening day number. We were astounded by Saif's rigorous research regimen which included immense practice with real weapons and understanding the drill of using the real weapon.

Vikram Vedha Review: Hrithik Roshan and his Beard Do Their Best ... (Film Companion)

Pushkar-Gayatri's Hindi adaptation of their 2017 Tamil film is competent, but not as riveting as the original.

More worryingly, the cast of the Hindi Vikram Vedha can’t capitalise on a script that is ripe with potential and opportunities. Usually in mainstream Hindi cinema, it’s the writing that fails the actors and directors. The cops and gangsters who make up Vikram and Vedha’s posses feel like a blur of moustaches, rather than distinct individuals. Neither is the sight of Roshan and Khan — both ageing aesthetically — striding across a screen or towards the camera. The man that Vikram is looking for is Vedha (Roshan), the craftiest gangster of the Lucknow underworld. It turns out Vedha has his own agenda and it begins with a simple request: “Can I tell you a story?” Twisty, intelligent, packed with complex characters and punctuated with excellent stunts, the script of Vikram Vedha is an actor’s dream. Whereas supporting roles like those of Vikram’s colleague and Vedha’s brother felt crucial in the Tamil original, in this Hindi version they fail to make any impact. Madhavan](https://filmcompanion.in/tag/madhavan) and [Vijay Sethupathi](https://filmcompanion.in/tag/vijay-sethupathi) played cop versus gangster in the grey-toned metropolitan clutter of modern Chennai, the Hindi Vikram Vedha is set in Lucknow and Kanpur, which directors [Pushkar-Gayatri](https://filmcompanion.in/tag/pushkar-gayatri) depict as peak, north Indian exotica: Mughal architecture; a palette of saturated, warm colours; labyrinthine slums with brightly-painted buildings; Ram leela actors and explosive Dussehra celebrations in the background; [Hrithik Roshan](https://filmcompanion.in/tag/hrithik-roshan) prowling with his trademark, feline grace in the foreground. It doesn’t help that the supporting cast, despite looking their parts, all feel strangely generic and flat. Combined with the slow-mo that is distinctive of the south Indian action spectacle, the filmmaking in Vikram Vedha often feels like a cinematic version of the famous slogan of ‘unity in diversity’. When Vedha walks up to a police station and surrenders voluntarily, Vikram knows there’s more to this than meets the eye. Technically, all this should serve to make the Hindi Vikram Vedha look and feel different from the original.
