- Quotes
Vedha: Can I tell you a story sir?
Vikram: The silence is too deafening, huh?
Vedha: You look really smart when you smile, sir.
Vikram: But you will look very pathetic if you smile without your front teeth! Don't laugh. Camera is switched off... I'll smash you! Just my arm will swell up a bit... nothing much!
Vedha: Sir, will you treat your guest this way? Vedha no violence sir!
Vikram: Why did you surrender?
Vedha: Just wanted to tell you a story, sir. My own story sir!
Vikram: Your kind of guys just have one story, right? I was down and out... like a mongrel on the mean streets. Did this and that... and grew to be a big man. It's that story, right?
Vedha: Wow! How did you do it sir? Did you watch my whole life unfurl in my own eyes?
Vikram: Can I tell you something about yourself? If I give you 10 crores today in exchange for you quitting your profession you will refuse the offer and walk out. Only to go home and plot a way to grab the money from me! That's you!
Vedha: The same 10 crores, if I give you in exchange for letting me go... Will you let me go sir? You will just send me away and plot to encounter me! That's you, right?
Vikram: Hah, good one!
Vedha: However, you see it, we are both one and the same!
Vikram: How will having just a tail make a cat and mouse the same?
Vedha: Sir, the cat has value only till there's rat problem in the house!
Vikram: But this mouse surrendered fearing the cat, right?
Vedha: But, will any mouse voluntarily walk into a trap?
Vikram: That's right. We're not talking about some simple mouse here, it's actually a bandicoot who has murdered 16!
Vedha: You are not such a simple cat yourself, sir. A cop cat who has encountered 15!
Vikram: 18.
Vedha: Sir, that last encounter... you killed the guys? OK sir. You are in the lead. Killed 18; Killed 16... Convinced?
Vikram: Nah... Criminal! Police... I'm on the right side of line; you on the other.
Vedha: OK sir, I accept. I'm the bad guy; you're the good one. But to project yourself as a good man, you do need a bad man like me!

Story is simple straight forward police and gangster cat and mouse or I could say hide seek game.
The wow factor is the screenplay which is well crafted and characterisations are well etched. The perfect pace stands out first kept the audience thrilled and guessing till the end. Dialogues are sharp as knife and powerful as the gun shots in the movie. The BGM was rock solid which had added the feel to the play.
Coming to the performances Madhavan as Vikram the protagonist a perfect police maintains his grip and emotes intensive emotions particularly when he feels he was used. Vijay Sethupathy on the other hand essays antagonist Vedha a most wanted leader of local gang pulling it off effortlessly seriously effortlessly like so much of assaultness the way he carries himself stands out unique particularly. Loved the in between short stories he threw. Both Madhavan and VJS with their exposed grey carried on their roles picture perfect. They present raw psychological thriller duo. All the other support characters were picked perfect. Varalakshmi's plays an extended cameo but stands out as well the new face lady who plays the lawyer and wife of Vikram.
Subtle messages on guilt - revenge - emotions of gangster or the police were the special catch.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this Neo-Noir flick.
Verdict : Don't miss it. Hats off to the team Vikram Vedha. Easy 8.5 on 10
