Vishwaroop – Much Ado About Something

Two days ago, I had a chance of watching Vishwaroop, but I could not find it so entertaining as hyped before the release followed by vehemently voiced controversial statements against the ban and subsequent mud-slinging of celebrities to politicians together with questioning credibility of the very existence of Censor Board and other dramatic convulsion of emotional outburst.

Out of the curiosity and the virtually established impression with Kamal Hassan’s cinematic image (I am a fan of him), I watched the movie but was disappointed how such a caliber and talented actor/director failed to cover up such a delicate and sensitive subject (terrorism)in its convincing cinematic perspective. 

Kamal should have made the movie to his own gifted creativity rather than overtaking with snail-paced Bollywood style to that of the over-advanced gait of Hollywood. A slight part of the movie has been a conspicuous aberration to the preconceived theme of the movie while the so much hyped stunts don’t seem comparatively and convincingly more outstanding as some media had previewed them with Hollywood’s death-defying stunts. 

However, I appreciate Kamal’s genuine yet abortive efforts of entwining cinematic plots to an appreciatively assertive and implausible cinematic output experience (visually).

The movie is not very gripping. I wonder why people seem to have convulsed with undefinable extol for the movie whereas the ground-reality is, this is typical stereotyped suspense-thriller espionage represented in cinematic version. People who compare this film with those of death-defying, breathtaking action-packed movies of Hollywood should better expand horizon as I firmly believe the movie is given excessive adulation than what it actually deserves. 

Since I’ve seen countless movies with more intensified death defying actions and stunts than Vishwaroop, I don’t believe it to be the best of all neither I am interested to embellish this with all good adjectives. Simply, it’s just an ordinary movie. That’s one time watchable, not beyond of what’s being exaggerated by media.

Meanwhile, that’s solely my own review of the movie, which by all account, would mean to be different from others. Mine not liking Vishwaroop much doesn’t vindicate that my discretion accords to that of other viewers. Sure, they have their own judgmental prowess and I have my own.
