It may be a remake, but Pushkar and Gayatri's testosterone-fuelled action film Vikram Vedha can stand on its own two feet, thanks in large part to Hrithik ...
Khan, on the other hand, pales in comparison to Madhavan's rendition of the character. Abu Dhabi stands in for Lucknow in the film. The dance number Alcoholiya, added in an effort to “Bollywood-ise” the film, feels quite out of place and tips into the cringeworthy.
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.

[Mani Ratnam’s “Ponniyin Selvan: 1,”](https://variety.com/2022/film/asia/mani-ratnam-ponniyin-selvan-1235383178/) “Vikram Vedha” is the big Indian release on Sept.

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.

Sashikanth and Vikram Vedha will hit the big screens globally on September 30, 2022. The story of Vikram Vedha is filled with twists and turns. Vikram Vedha is an action-thriller, written and directed by Pushkar-Gayatri.
Hrithik Roshan is utterly commanding in Pushkar-Gayathri's endlessly twisty remake of their own Tamil film.
Or the climactic scene where the wild fancies of the plot are grounded by the drab practicality of a factory floor. War had felt like a corner turned for Roshan, and his total command of the screen in Vikram Vedha bears this out. Vikram says early on, “There’s only right or wrong, nothing in between.” By the end, it’s clear everything is in between, and right or wrong are just stories we tell to make ourselves feel better. Why does Abbas (Satyadeep Mishra), Vikram’s friend and fellow cop, have a change of heart? One sequence, in the flashback of the first story, is especially beautiful. Vinod have a useful rule of thumb—if you don’t have anything special to offer with your choreography or fight skills, keep the setting pretty. In a witty sequence (a possible nod to Se7en), Vedha comes to them, surrendering himself at the station even as preparations to nab him are in full swing. Vikram and his team are ‘encounter’ cops, summarily executing gangsters in their efforts to catch the notorious Vedha (Hrithik Roshan), wanted for 16 murders, including a prominent MLA. Vikram guesses correctly—he punished the one with the power, not the one carrying out commands. The question he poses Vikram is: did he kill the man who ordered an attack on his younger brother, or the one who actually did the maiming? From the start, you can sense the presence of a writer pulling the strings. Vikram Vedha is occasionally a director’s film.
Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan's ex-wife Sussanne Khan has called 'Vikram Vedha' by far her most favourite movie ever.

Across languages and regions, the film is currently expected to make around Rs 40 crore, which could increase to Rs 50 crore as the day progresses. The film is expected to make more than Rs 20 crore in Tamil Nadu alone. The film’s box office potential is also being impacted by the release of director Mani Ratnam’s historical epic [Ponniyin Selvan: I](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/tracing-the-journey-of-ponniyin-selvan-mgr-kamal-haasan-mani-ratnam-8175332/), which is opening to sold-out shows in Tamil Nadu as we speak.
While Vikram Vedha received mixed reviews from audience and critics, Ponniyin Selvan: I or PS: I garnered applause from the audience.
After listening to these stories, Vikram’s understanding of right and wrong begins to alter. This was a historical book which was adapted from a book. Far far better than the original. Just want to say, audience forget theater don't dare to go near to its poster, the criminalized Sasta remake will make you vomit. Witness the carnage on screen. They've gone berserk in the cat and mouse chase game!!! Pushkar and Gayatri have weaved an intricate web with this story and its nothing short of a masterpiece. I can say this with confidence because I have watched the original one and still was hooked and intrigued and entertained!!! Overall, Vikram Vedha is a frame to frame remake of the original Tamil version, those who haven’t seen the OG, they may like the film more. Kadel wrote, “Vikram Vedha is an errant let down, lousy remake of the original. Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh gave the Hritik Roshan film a four-star rating and gave it a one-word review of “terrific.” Adarsh wrote, “Engaging. Saif Ali Khan and Hritik Roshan-starrer Vikram Vedha and Chiyaan Vikram and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Ponniyin Selvan: I have released in theatres today.
Pushkar-Gayatri's reboot of their 2017 hit improves on the original thanks to two zingy lead performances from Saif Ali Khan and Hrithik Roshan.
A likely hit for an industry that sorely needs one – and a story that bears, and even improves with, repetition. It is crucial to Pushkar-Gayatri’s mischievous project that the cop gets it from all sides, and Roshan displays such phosphorescent, screen-torching charisma that our sympathies are regularly redistributed. Vikram Vedha was a Tamil hit in 2017, a twisty, semi-subversive thriller in which a bad-ass Chennai cop and a wily criminal swap stories rather than blows or bullets.

Mumbai– Sussanne Khan has said that 'Vikram Vedha' starring her former husband Hrithik Roshan, is by far her most favourite movie ever.
The film is directed by Pushkar and Gayatri and produced by Bhushan Kumar & S. Sussanne took to Instagram, where she shared a poster of the film and wrote: “RA RA RA RAaRooooom this is by far one of my favourite movies ever!!! Congratulations @hrithikroshan@saifalikhan_online and the entire team for this tremendous entertainer!!!”
Pushkar–Gayathri's film is a refreshing take on the battle between good and evil, told flamboyantly with well fleshed-out characters and performances.
It particularly irks in the third act when the motivations of Shatak and Chanda (Yogita Bihani) — a crucial cog in the tale — demand a little more clarity, and the real villain of the piece, a little less predictability. He keeps Vikram smart, and us invested, even when the writing on the wall says that the mouse has more meat in this game of cat-and-mouse. There are sights and sounds of Awadh in the dialogues and backdrop, but it largely remains an outsider’s gaze. A little more nuance in the depiction of the workings of the UP Police would have added to the flavour of Kurma Nihari, the popular Lucknow dish, that becomes a plot device. The premise of Vikram Vedha also reminds one of Kapoor’s 1951 film Awaara, where the judge repeatedly invokes the idea that those who are born to criminals end up on the wrong side of the law. These seem like out-of-syllabus questions for a mainstream entertainer to address, but Gayatri and Pushkar answer them with sensitivity and urgency, within the framework of a festival tentpole.

The number is unlikely to go any higher though, which means it will stay behind Brahmastra ( ₹32 crore) and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 ( ₹14 crore) in the list of highest openings for Hindi films this year. If word of mouth is strong, the jump on Saturday can be substantial, which will eventually determine the film’s fate and lifetime collections. Vikram Vedha, directed by Pushkar and Gayatri, is a remake of their own 2017 Tamil hit, which starred Vijay Sethupathi and R Madhavan. This is the third-highest advance booking for a Hindi film this year, behind Brahmastra and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. But what works in Vikram Vedha’s favour is that the film has been received well.

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. 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.
At present, it seems like 'Vikram Vedha' is going to be benefited from the word of mouth in the coming days.

For as they say, there is always some bad in the good and some good in the bad. “The devil is in the details,” Vikram says at some point in the film.
