Synopsis
Vikram Vedha (2017) is a Tamil crime thriller from the directing duo Pushkar and Gayathri, and you can watch it online on iFILM. R. Madhavan plays Vikram, a hard-edged encounter cop, opposite Vijay Sethupathi as Vedha, the gangster who has slipped through the city's fingers for years.
Vikram has hunted Vedha long enough to be certain of one thing: a criminal is a criminal. Then the gangster simply walks into the station and gives himself up. Instead of confessing, he starts telling a story — one riddle at a time, one chapter at a time — and each answer chips away at what the cop thought he knew. The longer the interrogation runs, the blurrier the line gets between guilty and righteous, law and justice.
The film's spine comes from the old Indian folktale of King Vikramaditya and the spirit Vetala, who taunts him with questions that have no clean answer. The result isn't another shoot-em-up but a battle of wits where your sympathy keeps switching sides. Anyone who likes smart genre cinema built on moral grey areas should give it a shot. Stream Vikram Vedha (2017) online on iFILM.
