 Story: Nirupama (Pooja Kumar) marries a dance instructor Kamal Hassan (Vishwanath) and she wants to end the marriage after three years to pursue her higher education.Vishwanath is a dainty fellow who teaches Bharatanatyam and does not have any of the masculine qualities that Nirupama, who is a nuclear oncologist, desires. As a result, she starts developing feelings for her boss Deepak. But she soon discovers that Deepak is not the suave and intelligent fellow he seems to be. He is a shady operator who has links with a terror outfit headed by Omar (Rahul Bose). As she gets into trouble, she also discovers that her dainty husband Vishwanath has more to him than what meets the eye.  He has a past, and he hooks up with Nirupama for a reason. Vishwanath and Nirupama soon get entangled in a dangerous plot that seeks to explode a dirty bomb in the heart of New York City.  Can they stop Omar and his gang of thugs? What is Vishwanath’s past? That forms the story of ‘Vishwaroopam’.

Analysis: The film’s look and feel is on par with Hollywood flicks,especially the cinematography and the action sequences.  They are outstanding and credit must be given to Kamal Haasan for taking Indian cinema forward in these areas.  The scenes shot in Afghanistan and the interval firefight with the US Army stand out for their superb execution,Screenplay is excellent in the second half.  Narration technique used by Kamal in the film for revealing key flashback episodes, where the camera freezes in Matrix style. A lot of work has gone into making this movie and it is apparent.

Performances: Kamal Haasan is brilliant in this film. He just excels in whatever he does and being a method actor, he brings so much realism into his performances. The man’s passion towards cinema deserves respect.  Sekhar Kapur is dignified and delivers a classy performance. Rahul Bose is highly effective as the terrorist boss Omar. The surprise package of the film is Pooja Kumar. She delivers a nice performance as the naive nuclear oncologist Nirupama. There is something very charming about her and the voice used for her Telugu dubbing suited her role perfectly. Andrea Jeremiah is ok.

Technalities: Sanu Varghese deserves special applause for his brilliant cinematography. Afghanistan has been shot beautifully. The dusty mountains, the deserts and the vast expanses of wasteland – they all seem so majestic in the movie. Editing could have been sharper, especially in the first half. Background music is good, though it seems to have liberally used a few sounds from ‘The Dark Knight’. Choreography of the action sequences is fantastic. As a director, Kamal Haasan excelled in the technical aspects of film making.

Final Word: Vishwaroopam is a technically brilliant movie, but its Box Office appeal will most likely be limited to multiplexes and A centers. Brilliant cinematography and superbly shot action sequences,Using high technical values.Go and watch this film…
