உலகையே கலக்க உலகநாயகன் எடுக்கும் விஸ்வரூபம்!

The story doesn’t offer anything new, but these small subversions make the leisurely paced Vishwaroopam more than just another entry in the ticking-clock genre, where we wait breathlessly for the villain to be vanquished before everything goes boom. And the end isn’t so much about closure as a cessation. Our feeling at the end of these movies, usually, is that of relief, that the world is safe. Here, our emotions are a little less cheery: the world is safe... for now.

Nerd mentioned that he was surprised about Kamal playing to the gallery. Why the surprise, he has done it brilliantly in the past. Equa sollum "mainstream" la dhaane Thalaivan operate panraapla. Thevar Magan dance intro was also in-your-face playing to the gallery but how! It is organic to the film. Here, the now famous transformation scene is exactly that and what he has pulled off is just Thevar Magan level * 10. The audacity to actually have an action replay is podiMASS :notworthy: Something like the Pudikkala maamu deprature. The transformation starts in the photo itself (andha kangal, pppaaa!) and when blood starts oozing. Unmatched intensity. Thuppaakki yen, Thala has done a Maanick Baasha setting here. The point is, idhu enna level la vandhurukku? Tarrantino pathi ellaam pesarome? The playing to the gallery bit that was atypical was the "walk in slow motion" pointer to V2 - aana works as a mainstream hook i guess

Afghanistan segment - a lot is unsaid. In one way, unsaid = tale told visually without dialogues. In another way, there's some background that is not 'shown'. Let's see how much of that is covered in V2. These portions have potential for more juice than the bomb diffusion parts. Some Dasa moments in the 2nd half, accentuated by an atrocious ROTFL BGM piece that comes in 2 places. The 2nd instance is cornyMAX. Clearly, the decision to split the film into 2 parts doesn't look like the original intent.
[Ex-hubber Girish met Thalaivan in the sets in Mumbai and the scenes they shot comes in the trailer for part 2. The chair stunt is also shown. I wonder if it's only 10% of the shooting they have completed?]

As for the balancing act, i wonder if the Dasa mode phase should have packed in more "happening" moments. ra

P.S: One marine regretting shooting a woman, Omar being certain that they will not target women and children - surprised Kamal had these in the film. I would like to believe he "compromised" here
