Ajith’s fit avatar from Thala 57 sets goes viral, celebrities and fans react.

The excitement around Ajith’s forthcoming Thala 57 is getting stronger with each passing day despite the fact that the film is still months away from its theatrical release. A picture of Ajith at the shooting location was shared by the film’s director Siva on his Twitter page. And Thala fans can’t help but go gaga over their fit-looking favourite star.
We had earlier written about Ajith’s transformation for his upcoming espionage thriller. For months now, he had been working on his physique in preparation for his role in Thala 57. In the film, he plays the role of an Interpol officer.

The latest picture of Ajith is a clear attempt by the filmmakers to give a glimpse of what they have in store for the actor’s fans. The picture has been drawing a lot of reactions on social media from fans and Kollywood celebrities alike.
“Nice to see Ajith sir back at his fittest.He was one person who appreciated me when I got to my goal.Wishing him the best as always (sic) #Ak57 (sic),” tweeted actor Vikram Prabhu.

Actor Arun Vijay, who delivered a stunning performance in last year’s Yennai Arindhaal, expressed his wish to work with Ajith again. He even suggested a sequel to Yennai Arindhaal. “Charismatic!! Would luv to work with him again.. (sic) #YA2 (sic),” Arun tweeted.
“Awesome to see Thala Superfit (sic) Siva sir thank you (sic),” tweeted actor Arya, who had also recently impressed everyone with the teaser and the first look posters of his upcoming film Kadamban.

Thala 57 has a big star cast and it also marks Kollywood debut of Vivek Oberoi, who plays the main antagonist in the film. It also stars Akshara Haasan, who is also debuting in Tamil alongside Ajith. Kajal Agarwal plays Ajith’s love interest.
The film has music from Anirudh Ravichander and is bankrolled by Sathya Jyothi Films.

Thala 57: Ajith’s bike stunt driving internet crazy, watch video

Thala 57 is Ajith's highly anticipated film of 2017.

http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/thala-57-ajith-bike-stunt-driving-internet-crazy-watch-video-4433261/

Director Siva and his crew are currently filming the high-voltage action sequences for Thala 57, involving bikes in Bulgaria. Considering it is the director’s attempt to make it a James Bond-esque thriller in Kollywood, Hollywood’s one of the best bike stunt choreographers, Jorian Ponomareff has been roped in to give the audience some adrenaline rushing visuals.
According to reports, Ajith expressed his interest in doing the action scenes himself without using a body double but Siva was not willing to take any risks and hired French biker Jorian for the job.
Reports also suggest that Ajith has performed most of the stunts himself in the film. A picture of him popping a wheelie on a stunt dirt bike is going viral on social media with #Thala57 becoming a top trend on Twitter on Sunday morning. A video has also surfaced showing the actor doing the stunt without breaking a sweat.

Jorian, who has previously worked in Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation among other Hollywood projects, has praised Ajith in a Facebook post saying it was such an honour to work with the actor while describing him as a “huge star in India.” He also added that he is impressed with Ajith’s simplicity and his performance in action scenes.

The yet to be titled film, which is tentatively called Thala 57 or AK 57, is Ajith’s highly anticipated project of 2017. Of all the things Ajith is popular for, taking his workouts seriously was not one of them. However, he has worked on his physique to look the part in this film, in which he is playing an Interpol officer.
The film has a strong star cast and it also marks the Kollywood debut of Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi, who is playing the main antagonist in the film. It also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Akshara Haasan, Thambi Ramaiah, Karunakaran and Appukutty among others.

The film, directed by Siva, marks his third collaboration with Ajith. Previously, the actor-director duo has delivered hit films like Veeram and Vedalam. The movie is being produced by Sathya Jyothi Films and has music from Anirudh Ravichander. It is expected to hit the screens in May next year.

hala 57: Ajith Kumar's macho look is a hit on the internet
Ajith Kumar's latest picture from his upcoming yet-untitled film is doing the rounds on the internet.

Following the commercial success of Vedalam, Ajith Kumar is once again teaming up with director Siruthai Siva for an upcoming yet-untitled Tamil film.
While the team is rigorously shooting in Bulgaria, Ajith Kumar's latest picture is an instant hit on the internet.

Earlier to this, Ajith Kumar made headlines when a Hollywood stuntman, who has previously worked in films like Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, heaped praise on the Yennai Arindhaal star. Impressed by his stunts, the French stunt rider was also floored by Ajith Kumar's simplicity.

Tipped to be a spy thriller, the film will see Ajith Kumar as an Interpol officer, who is in charge of a crime investigation that happens in Chennai. The subsequent investigation leads him to the European nations where 70 per cent of the film will be shot.

The makers have roped in Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi to play the antagonist in the film.

Directed by Siruthai Siva, the film stars Kajal Aggarwal and Akshara Haasan in pivotal roles.
With Anirudh Ravichander composing the music, Thala 57 is expected to release next year.

Vivegam First Look Poster

An explosive Action Poster and a rare feature in Tamil Movie Posters, Viveham First Look rockets high exploding the numerous adrenaline containers all at once.

http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/541310ViveganFLtl.jpg

When two fans of Action Films collaborate together, the glimpse of what they can achieve can be witnessed through the First Look of the Tamil Film Vivegam, released on the second day of February in the year 2017. Director Siva, who is busily shooting his latest movie with actor Ajith Kumar, through the first poster of Vivegam has indicated to the audience what to except in his under-production motion picture produced by the reputed banner Satya Jothi Films.

Set inside a war zone, heavily armed commandos from ground action force take position under hovering helicopter gunships that are flashing their laser beams directly on the 'Beast of Man' standing in the middle of the battle zone (as well as positioned at the centre of the poster). The Giant doesn't seen friendly and his attire - (naked torso over baggy army pants held with San Browne belt, making fists secured within hand warps) is a knockout before the fight. The poster enlarges the myth of "One-Man-Army" by blowing up the size of its Prime Hero. The soldiers positioning behind him and the combat helicopters circling above, engage themselves in different military activity over a bridge. Whether they are the chasers or the band of brothers is one among several mysteries Viveham First Look holds within.

Usually, in an Action Movie Poster, the Action Hero carries a weapon of his choice. Ajith Kumar is seen bare handed in Vivegam first look. The way he makes the fists is unique - the thumb touching the middle of the index finger. The red cloth wrapped inbetween his fingers is not inner gloves or quick wraps, which are used for padding. They are Hand Warps that help to stabilize against unwanted/unintended wrist movement, so all the bones in the hand are in the right spot to efficiently transfer the impact stress back to the forearm bones, which are more capable of absorbing it. In sports/gym, hand warps are used to secure the wrist, mainly while doing knuckle push-ups. They are in no way similar to the fingerless fashion gloves that serve as nothing but just as a decorative item. Here is a short video briefing about how to fold a hand wrap:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGbo8V6NCZk

Four combat helicopters hover above the head of the Beast - two visible at the back, and the other two beyond the poster in the front. The visible ones resemble a Bell AH-1Z Viper, the flexible and multi-mission attack helicopters. The Bell AH-1Z Viper is a twin-engine attack helicopter based on the AH-1W SuperCobra. The AH-1Z features a four-blade, bearing less, composite main rotor system, uprated transmission, and a new target sighting system. Also known as Zulu Cobra, these combat helicopters are equipped with high-end flight control swashplate devices. The plate number "1612A" is visible on one of the helicopter's nose. Ajith being an expert on aeronautics, the detail provided on the helicopter seen in the poster is a fine touch.

The contrast in the Viveham first look Poster is excellent. The colour palette chosen using cinematic colour choices sets the right mood. The colour scheme 'amber and teal' that is widely in use in this era of cinema called "Dark Age" is well adapted into the poster. The orange and blue hue densities are spread over the first look producing a novel colour scheme. The needle shaped raindrops crossing with each other inside every grid collectively build up a contrasting environment around the poster. The grey and black are churned together in several specific areas inside the poster (notably the one under the LHS heli), dividing the poster into realms.

Apart from the colour scheme, the lighting effect brought into the picture is attractive. Two light sources - One, from the headlights of truck positioned behind the Giant. Two, in the front to the right of the standing furious Beast from an invisible helicopter. Both the light sources are hidden and only the lighting is projected over the blanket of grey. They jointly create a mysterious atmosphere (in action based films, it is called as Thrills). The background light highlights a dawn, shading the part of the sky above it bright. As the sun shoots up, Ajith Kumar rises, growing himself to the touch the sky. The body dissolves into darkness, his feet are masked, depicting how much the character is stable & rooted.

The contrast on Ajith's face plays with the sharp features - notably the pointed nose bridge an radiating eyes. The brightness from the invisible helicopter projects the two watching eyes differently - the brighter-side eye warns sharply, the darker-side one menaces coldly. They both look straight at the viewer establishing a thick communication. They are then aligned with the shadowy lines making the physical appearence match with the facial expression. On top of all, the 'Thala' is decorates with silver lines, like a crown, matching the droplets falling all over the poster - the effect forayed is brilliant. Special mention to the tiny streams flowing down the torso bringing the glossy effect as they slide down the toned body. The skin color palette enhances the charging pose.

There are also few personal conversations imbedded in the poster. The aiming helicopters positioned at the rear and in the front indicate to "Known Enemy, Unknown Enemy and A Back Stabber". And yet again, the 'B-U' is back!

Standing taller, Ajith is getting himself graduated as a complete actor from film to film. Starting off from "All I know is I know nothing", Ajith is building up his own system. His communication with fans through films is reaching to higher levels where he is continuously embedding a sort of chronological order beginning with title of his films itself - You saw my Veeram, now witness my Vivegam. He has started to hold on to a unique charm for himself, which can be directly associated with the style factor usually referred with Rajini, or the abundant charisma of MGR, or the immense obedience of Sivaji. His broad shoulders (ref. Billa II Poster) emit confidence and provide an illusionary strength to carry forward.

Ajith always considers critics seriously and in several occasions he had worked towards a self-constructive redemptions. Vivegam First Look raises another question inside me - What all that enters Ajith's ears, which are the ones that are being processed and which are the ones that are let out through the other ear?

The beach, on a sunny evening under a clear sky, an author starts to collect pebbles from the sand. He is much interested in the special ones brought to the shore by the waves. Carefully he picked up the smooth little stones, varied in colour and rich in texture. After collecting a handsome lot, he walked to a picnic table, poured down his collection over it and started to admire the multi-characteristic pebbles before him. With careful analyse, he grouped them into two. After an immense scrutiny, only one pebble sat on the left side. He took the group of stones from his right; walked back to the sea and threw them all back one by one. He returned and pocketed the single stone considering it to be the most precious - the art of selecting the best out of the rest. Listening to all reaps chaos, working on the essential develops a steady mind.

If Silence is Power, then, it is charged by 'Thala'.

Vivegam: Ajith’s new bloody look is going viral, see pic

Adding to the fan frenzy around his upcoming film Vivegam, director Siva has shared a new candid on-set picture of Thala Ajith. The picture seems to be taken right after shooting a bloody sequence as Ajith can be seen in clothes smeared with blood stains and mud. The picture has sent fans into a tizzy even as it went viral on social media. Ever since the look of Ajith from the film was outed by an international newspaper during one of the shooting schedules in Austria, Vivegam has been creating a lot of buzz on social media.
The official first look poster featuring Ajith flaunting his chiselled physique had set the internet on fire when it was released a few months ago. The expectations around the film are so high that film distributors have already started vying to bag the theatrical rights of the film. According to reports, Sathya Jyothi Films, producers of the film, are reportedly considering to fix the theatrical rights of the film in Tamil Nadu at Rs 50 crore.
In Vivegam, Ajith is said to be playing an Interpol officer and the most of the shooting took place in the European locations. Recently, Ajith flew to Bulgaria to shoot the remaining portions of the film.
According to the reports, the filmmakers have planned to release the film on the Independence Day week. Meanwhile, the teaser trailer of the film is also expected to be unveiled on the occasion of Tamil New Year.

Besides Ajith, the film has Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi, who is playing the main antagonist in the film and also marks his debut in Tamil. Kamala Haasan’s daughter Akshara Haasan also make her Kollywood debut with this film. Kajal Agarwal plays Ajith’s love interest.
This film marks Siva’s third collaboration with Ajith. Previously, the actor-director duo has delivered hit films like Veeram and Vedalam. The film is being produced by Sathya Jyothi Films and has music composed by Anirudh Ravichander.

On Thursday, the makers of Vivegam have released a kickass picture of Ajith Kumar on the sets, which went viral on the internet.

Apart from superstar Rajinikanth's magnum opus 2.0, Thala Ajith Kumar's Vivegam is one of the most awaited releases of this year.
While the team is rigorously wrapping up the remaining portions for the film, director Siruthai Siva took to Twitter to release a new picture of Thala on the sets of Vivegam. Going by the poster, it looks like Ajith Kumar plays a sniper in Vivegam. Also, the poster promises for an out-and-out entertainer from the team.

Ajith Kumar, who has been out of action for quite sometime now, will be next seen in Vivegam. In Kollywood, Vivegam is one of the highly anticipated releases for several reasons.
Currently, the team is rigorously wrapping up the remaining portions for the film. As a part of the film's promotion, director Siruthai Siva took to Twitter to release a new picture of Thala from Vivegam.

Thank you Rachel. Since the release of the song, I wanted to hear it, but was away for a while. Glad that you reminded me about the song from Vivegam.

Surviva, eventhough it pushes the listener forward, does not suit my music taste (so, no whining about it). The track sounds like a Trap Remix of Billy Joel's 'We didn't start the Fire'. Trap is the mix of HipHop and Rap, and Anirudh really gets close to this genre - that was a genius mix to bring in the Rap just after an innocent start. Not quite used to Rap, I found it difficult to hear the words, and thanks to the lyrical video (which I usually distant myself from watching) helped me to get what is sung.

The words contributing to the lyrics blend well with Rap and HipHop portions, in return, focuses to build a scenario of grief, sweat and loss; with a recipe to overcome helpless feeling and carry forward to build an empire of success.

Surviva is Ajith's version of Vetri Kodi Kattu adapted to ring in the ears of the newgens.

Surviva - Perseverance

Differentiating music genres (including their sub-genres) is as difficult as containing a song inside a specific genre box. And when it comes to Regional Soundtracks, the task is almost impossible when most of the time the songs are a mix, normally coined as Variety Music. Rather than sticking to a specific genre of music, several styles are induced within. This very aspect makes our compositors competent and unique.

When a listener wants to talk about the song he had listened to, and if he/she is not quite sure how to put it, the listener just slaps the song as "experimental". I have a completely different opinion on the usage of the word 'experimental', as I consider each song dug out of the musician's hat is indeed experimental. Anyway, that's not the topic I had chosen to talk today, but it’s about the new single titled "Thalai Viduthalai" from Vivegam composed and sung by Anirudh Ravichandran.

Before trying to force the song inside a genre envelope, here is a brief note (within my capacity of understanding) about Rock Genre which are hitting our regional music charts post the success of Kabali movie OST composed by Santosh Narayanan. I don't mean that it’s 'only after', but what I try to project is that Nerrupu Da certainly has boosted the re-entry of Rock Genre into our film music. I am glad to see our composers roaming around with electric guitars and jamming them to produce the most wonderful sound that I cherish every single moment while listening to such compositions.

Simply put, Rock Music is produced by combining the sounds extracted from a guitar and drums that are chained with the vocals. The magic is in its simplicity. The respective themes run around in circle while being stretched around, resulting in fabricating a collective sound that rings as a memorable music inside the ears. Here is where the 'experimental' part comes in, where other instruments like keyboards were added, and the vocals were twisted with blues or jazz, producing a variation in Rock Genre.

[See - Punk, Progressive, Classic, Alternative (Subs - Grunge, Garage, Industrial) which are basically Rock Genres trying to bend itself into modern sound.]

Hard Rock that is faster and louder than Rock gained popularity.

The rest of the genres that followed are the fusion between the Rock and Hard Rock, entirely depending on the style. Such diversified sounds obtained their own proper name - Metal.

Metal (or famously addressed as Heavy Metal) is a version of Hard Rock using the same scales and rhythms. Where it entirely detaches from Rock Genre is in its theme (like war) that it installs over the sound produced. The Heavy Metal is slower, gloomier with bluesy riffs and lyrically establishes its theme inside clean and clear vocals.

Alternative Metal is the combination of Metal and Alternate Rock.

Thrash Metal is Punk Rock added with Metal. The evolution paved way for Grindcore, which is an extreme mix of distorted sounds using down tuned guitars, grinding overdriven bass, high speed tempo and vocals which consist of growls and high-pitched shrieks. The theme is mostly based on politics.

Death Metal is born out of the union of Thrash Metal and Grindcore with a huge increase in the heaviness. Down tuned guitars extract deeper sounds with complex riffs and a particular hardcore drumming known as "blast beat" (originated in Thrash Metal), which is a repeated note played on a very high tempo divided uniformly among the bass drum, snare, and ride, crash, or hi-hat cymbal. Another uniqueness of Death Metal is double kick pedals on the bass drum to achieve a rumbling, machine-gun like effect. And yes, I confirm that Death Metal 'shouty' vocals are not just growls, but it has lyrics to them which are difficult to decipher. The basic theme is about gore and horror.

Black Metal is the fast tuned extreme music where a single string is stroked rapidly up and down. It is this genre that evolved later, into Folk and Celtic and also crawled its way into Symphony - yeah, you have got Symphonic Black Metal which combines the sounds of Metal with a sweeping orchestral backing. And the evolution of this genre swallowed Death Metal by bringing evil into its theme called as Blackened Death Metal. It’s mainly Satanism explored using trebly guitars inside an atmospheric arrangements.

Sub-Genre Nu-Metal is heavily inspired from Metal, both Heavy and Alternative. Synthesizer is used as an additional instrument and vocals change mood throughout the song indulging in Rap, hip-hop, groove and grunge.

I allow you to decide and wrap the single from Vivegam - Thalai Viduthalai - inside a music genre.

Coming to the song, "Thalai Viduthalai", even though the song feeds to my taste of music, it left me wanting it to be heavier and longer. Nevertheless, the shortness indeed maintains a high level for repeated listening. I would place the single not as an inspiration, but certainly as an influence of bands like Korn and SOAD. For instance (a song that comes to my mind at present), the song Dhusta from Iraivi sounds as though Santosh Narayanan is a huge fan of Godsmack's Voodo. If you find time, check the short film 'The Angel'; it holds a wonderful retake of 'Kaka Kaka Kanakavel Kaka' by Rajesh Murugesan (think I have already mentioned this song sometime back).

Lyricists and music composers, rather music directors, have always played a vital role in creating an image globe around an artist. They devise methods to shoot the star higher in his carrier graph, all the while moulding his image during his flight to stardom. It’s a known fact how keenly MGR and Sivaji observe the musical feature in their films. While MGR gives priority to lyrics delivered through captivating tunes, Sivaji aims to act for a song to match with the emotions brought out by the vocal. Such is the importance given by them to the songs. IR has been instrumental from Rajini in more than a million ways. The composer who gave the first intro song in Tamil movies, which happens to be the first for Rajini too, made the star to deviate a bit during the peak time of his carrier and plunge into unexplored waters of fame through the musical Veera (Konji Konji) & Mannan (Mother Song). ARR brought a multidimensional aspect of the stardom for Rajini by making music based on the star’s style branding it as a Rajni Exclusive. He went a step ahead and used the dialogue rendered by Rajini in the song structure establishing a unique variety of joy for the fans like me. Of course, Santosh Narayanan has polished the class set by MSV for Rajini (Sambo Siva Sambo from Ninaithale Inikkum ).

'Thalai Viduthalai' is the next stage launched to decorate the stardom of Ajith, which is neatly punctuated by Anirudh and Siva (the director of the film, who is also the lyricist). Referred as 'Thala' by his fans, this song promotes Ajith to a godly status, where the song is opened with Ajith uttering the famous dialogue from the movie inside a 'tambura -ish' strings play combined with a church bell sound. It is projected as 'The Message of The Divine', where Anirudh has dramatized his composition to acquire the fullest interest of the music enthusiasts, at the same time Siva elevates the image of Ajith among ‘Thala’ fans

As Ajith always points out 'Make it Simple', the simplicity of the single is what that clicks, at the same time 'Thalai Viduthalai' functions at multiple levels without just stopping itself from being a chartbuster.

@2m11s, the way Ajith throws himself before the car while firing at the man taking cover behind the vehicle is awesome. The sound of gun shots heard while and after landing is in perfect sync, making the stunt look fierce.

https://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/293828VivegamDive.jpg

I also see Ajith rolling on the ground or jumping high in the air and finishing on his feet during several actions. There are several hand to hand combats, both lethal (the one with Katana is deadly and menacing) and non-lethal; I am willing to see some nice and original martial arts styles filmed in most stylish manner. The variation in the speed of the videos frames establishing forces carrying fire arms looks awkward; I hope they have increased the frame rate for the trailer clip only.

https://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/154243VivegamReadytoRage.jpg

'Hard Boiled', a John Woo cult action film polished the dual wield (a weapon in each hand) which was initially an iconic symbol in Westerns. Guy Ritchie conventionalised it in his film 'RocknRolla' that became a cult poster, where Toby Kebbell is seen holding .38 Smith & Wesson Model 36 in his hands. In our regional films, Chitti sits on a car top unleashing bullets on his chasers. Ajith is seen holding submachine guns perfectly and popping the heads around him - a fantastic shot that is frozen into a comic strip format, which looks more elegant than the involved action (reminded me of Ennakule Mirugam from Billa 2).

https://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/350527VivegamPoster09.jpg

The military uniform, the arm gadgets, the leather jacket and the collar & round necks - every outdoor or informal wear - on Ajith are awesome, posing to be handmade for him. And as usual, a high range of sunglasses and wrist watches support the accessory division. The promotional clip is loaded with several close-ups on Ajith eyes, each resembling different from others. They have assembled it in an ascending order from softer to sore to barbaric to hawkish to combative, finally settling in calmness before rampage - You will see my rage!

https://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/672209VivegamRageE.jpg

Hats off Siva (Anthony L. Ruben, Ajith Kumar).

Vivegam trailer is brimmed with action sequences and turns itself (in spite of being interfered by melodramatic scenes) into an absolute Action clip in mainstream. I see it giving a retro quality to the action films of the 1990s, with high usage of modern techno that transcendent into an action film with depth and intelligence. The freezing frames bring back the pop culture action figures, where the trapped lone hero fights against overwhelming odds to a train, a motorcycle, a snowy mountain or an entrie army.

As a huge fan of Action Films, I welcome Agent AK on screen this 24th.

Vivegam [2017 : Tamil : Action : 2h30m]

A film by Siva & Team

Banner : Sathya Jyothi Films

Starring : Kajal Aggarwal, Akshara Haasan, Vivek Oberoi, Ajith Kumar

https://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/220025V01.jpg

Vivegam is a collage of time based events. The film projects itself as an anthology, a sum of distinct missions, to construct one block of narrative. The strategy of narration concentrates on exposition - Introducing the Characters (AK & Team, The Wife), Rising Action (sort of secondary missions that develops the plot), Climax (Confrontation) followed by the Resolution to the story.

https://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/479013V02.jpg

Mission One : Leap of Faith

The movie opens with a random covert operation, where Agent AK thieves a device which has the potential to trigger a massive destruction. He enters into a guarded site after placing explosive mines over the pathway to create a safe escape route. A timer constantly alarms him and AK has to kill ten more seconds without getting himself killed. Standing on top of a dry dam, AK tries to divert the enemy soldiers with a short speech. When the soldiers realize that AK does not make any sense but is trying to buy himself more time, they prepare to rain bullets on him. The friendly timer runs out and AK leaps across the dam wall above the gushing water. The Agent had noted the exact moment the water shall be diverted into the dam and had registered it in his stop watch - he had efficiently walked in and out of the enemy camp within the specific interval. AK safely falls into the pouring water and navigates to freedom.

Mission Two : Smoking out the Rat

The operation invites both military and intelligence units, as well as, extends itself to create an international political effect. The law enforcement searches through footage registered by the camera around the campsite. Aryan introduces himself as the Intelligence and the National Security Strategist to the officer in charge of the investigation. He presents his three team members and announces that he was a partner at work with AK. He elaborates how AK & his team tracked down the stolen device after getting tipped about a hacker who was in procession with the code to destruction. He explains how AK raced with time to locate the hacker that had landed him straight into the pit of serpents.

Mission Three : Into the Den of Hyenas

AK analyses the first hand data and derives that the hacker is a woman and her boyfriend was kidnapped by a deadly local gang. He walks straight into their hideout and gets the details from the gang leader. With the collected information, AK lures out the hacker from her hideout before the code switch hands.

https://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/456557V05.jpg

Mission Four : Nameless Natasha

When AK tries to grab Natasha, the hacker who had cracked the code to trigger destruction, cleverly elopes away from AK only to be surrounded by a mercenary group who are interested in acquiring device and the code from her. AK saves her from them and Natasha accepts cooperate with AK. Together they get set to find the source of the code but eventually land straight inside the trap laid for them by a nameless organization (whose motto is 'In desturction we Rebuild'). AK meets up with his fate. He not only looses the gadget held by Natasha; he falls into the abyss of deception.

https://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/884065V06.jpg

Mission Five : Home Invasion

Surprised by the sudden attack, AK pulls himself together to meet his wife who is carrying his child. The lonely dame, who has no clue of the whereabouts of her husband, is attacked in her home. AK pops the intruders with his sniper rounds and saves his wife and his unborn child. He is paid a visit in his hideout too, an event he was expecting to happen. After taking out his revenge, AK reaches out the brain behind the deceptive act.

https://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/123444V07.jpg

Mission Six : Nailing the Blacksmith

AK decides that his wife in no more safe and evades her from the eagle eyes who constantly watch her. He enters the building where he once worked to extract the information about plan of destruction - the device has been activated by his nemesis after pronouncing AK as the Most Wanted International Criminal. AK enters and exits the building, but loses his wife. AK desperately searches for the Sat details by visiting every Sat facility inside a fixed perimeter, when his nemesis threatens him by giving him an option - Save or Sacrifice. Whether AK will save the population by sacrificing his wife or will he choose to look for his beloved allowing millions to die.

https://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/946458V08.jpg

Mission Seven : Enter the Hydra

The final mission details whether AK successfully halted the device before the timer hits Zero Zero : Zero Zero. AK descends the hill of danger and places his fiery palms to stop the time itself.

The basic theme of the film is 'People are capable of great heroism when put to test'. The character AK goes under and come up in RISE-FALL-RISE story arc.

Director Siva uses multiplexer to connect his random missions. He brings up a terminal with multi-display and picks a random tile to start his block narration. The multiple display actually contains several past missions handled by AK, thus, Siva leaves behind a vastness from where several stories about AK can be pulled out. He juggles with the POV, but keeps AK as the prime narrator, thus confining the screen space with Ajith inside every frame (while the other characters deliver, AK is omni-present). A similar structure can he found in Shankar's Enthiran (2010), where Rajini is punctually present in every single shot. He perfectly delivers the occurrence under the ticking clock fixing the events inside the time box. Hats off Siva.

Shaky cam that originated in the 60s is a camera work introduced by avant-garde film makers. This style was their revolt towards the particular technique practiced during the period. Such cinematographers considered their line of work as freedom. The unpopular technique known as shaky cam was adapted in few films where the camera was held in hands and the technician performed all the actions and movements along with the subject. In 1981, Sam Raimi brought a similar effect by tying up the camera and swinging it before the subject. Since then, a handful of films applied several such free flow techniques to film a sequence or two in their feature. Shakycam became popular after Green Paulgrass filmed his entire Bourne series under such unique style. A debate was launched where fans supporting the shaky cam described the picture to be intense, while the others simply boycotted it citing it as 'ad nauseam' (Latin, annoying & tiresome). With the rise of digital, the shaky cam was no more a technique, but it also became a special effect created using CGI and the shaky part is enhanced through editing methods.

Vivegam is shot in shaky cam style, just like Bourne Supremacy (2004). Vivegam is the first full length feature from India to have used such a style for the entire film.

To distinguish the shaky cam style with shaky cam effects in Vivegam, the camera angels - dutch and tilt - should be noted to expose the difference. The locations, both indoor and outdoor, do not facilitate the task of filming using such techniques. Hats off cinematographer Vetri / Krishnasamy. Editing is more or less "Fast cutting" in Vivegam - several consecutive shots of a brief duration lesser than or equal to 3 seconds. Such Fast Cuts are used for close ups - Ref. Shaun of the Dead. In Vivegam the images on screen are the output of shaky cam and fast cutting. Hats off editor Ruben.

The entire movie is high on thrills. It has stylish action sequences; the one inside the traffic congestion is terrific. Ajith has moved the scale of Action Hero a notch higher in Vivegam. He walks around elegantly in fine garments and sun glasses. He emotes perfectly to the situations and his short lines are sweeter and efficiently delivered. His calmness while walking between the armed gang is lethal. There is a kind of originality in his performance, a form he had been shaping since Arrambam (2013).

I kind of liked Akshara Hassan and the character sketch of Natasha. She carries a sort of sadness during her brief appearance. The Natasha episode does save Vivegam from drowning itself inside the chaos the film creates within. Her appearance was neat and like her father, she uses her eyes more than her lips. Hats off Akshara Hassan.

https://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/855200V10.jpg

Unfortunately, Vivegam is flawed at numerous levels. The emotions and sentiments collide with the action taking a clumsy route throughout its run time. The whole notion of the word SPY has been misunderstood and the result is evident on the screen. More attention should have been given before calling the film as 'an international spy thriller'. I get to the last part cutting down all the whines – several scenes were lifted from several places – for the instances in Natasha episode - the hacking and the chase – are picked from Watchdogs, a PS3/PS4 console game.

Nevertheless Vivegam is a sincere effort put in place with limited knowledge. Hope Siva researches further into genre film making rather than concentrating on the pace of the film.

Even though loaded with fabulous sequences, Vivegam lands hard on its own face. Still, Vivegam is an entertaining watch.

Ajith Kumar's 'Vivegam' has really risen up like a Phoenix from the ashes, beaten all the odds and became a blockbuster. In a period, where success meets are conducted to prove that movie is a hit, the makers Sathya Jyoti Films, Actor Ajith Kumar, Director Siva are silently enjoying the genuine success the movie has earned.

The 50th-day celebrations happened across the city and fans of Ajith had an early Diwali blast. Fans celebrated it as an Opening day and the social media also trended with wishes and hashtags. Incidentally, it also became a birthday gift for Akshara Haaan!

The movie has successfully crossed all barricades and despite all odds, it became a success. 'Vivegam' is a lesson that paid trackers, critics, movie buffs can't stop the real success and the fate of the movie is sealed only by Audience!
