A film of thriller orientation needs racy screenplay. There are around 3 short flashback revelations in the second half. Kamal who has set-up the plot nicely with the scene where he reveals his trueself has lost the grip on first half by narrating the most of the flashback in the rest of first half. The entire Afganistan episode has docu-feel whereas New York story is given the tone of a Hollywood action thriller with comedy (Pooja Kumar getting surprised/thrilled at her husband’s new avatar). Kamal Hassan gave two different tones based on the backdrop.
The second half is about resolving the conflict. The entire first half of the film relies on revealing characters and explaining the basic conflict between hero and villain. The revealing of new hero avatar in the first half is very well done. He has narrated the story in spaced-flashbacks. It’s an actor’s delight to have such a multilayered role. Kamal who has penned the script had three finely etched get-ups and backdrops for the character played by him. Its story is set against terrorism in New York which has genesis in Afghanistan.
Story - screenplay - direction: Kamal Hassan who has a grand vision has designed a grenadier canvas for Vishwaroopam. His make-u, dubbing and body language are extraordinary. Sekhar Kapoor did another important role. Andrea Jeremiah did the role of Kamal’s companion and she is cool.
Gowtami’s dubbing for Pooja’s character appeared too mature. He is extremely believable in Muslim character and superbly stylish in action sequences in NY with another get-up. He is excellent with feminine body language as dance teacher. Kamal Hassan has got three avatars in this film which he portrays to the perfection. The rest of the story is all about past of Viswanatham and the present danger. Her life turns upside down when she discovers that her husband is not a feminine dance teacher, but a manly warrior.
It was a marriage of convenience as an elder Viswanatham wants a companion and young Nirupama (Pooja Kumar) wants somebody from US so that she can go higher up in life. Nirupama who is working as oncologist in nuclear medicine. Viswanatham (Kamal Hassan) is a dance teacher in New York.
