Kamal Haasan faced roadblocks for trying to release Vishwaroopam on DTH. His film was not even taken for theatrical release because he attempted to release his film simultaneously on DTH. However, the actor-filmmaker is serious about releasing Vishwaroopam 2 via DTH, if not in India, then at least abroad.

Kamal said that DTH is only a medium to make audiences go watch a film in theatres as well after watching it on television. He added that all of have kitchens at home, and yet, we go and dine outside. Have we ever stopped ourselves from going to restaurants because we have kitchens? It is a powerful medium and we should use it effectively.

He reiterated that if his film is not allowed to be released via DTH in India, then he would release it in other countries on this platform. The film is nearing completion is slated to release soon.

Kamal Haasan’s magnum opus Vishwaroopam 2 is almost over with just some patch up shots left to shoot. Sources add within 2 days the entire shoot of Vishwaroopam 2 will be done, This gives way to the big question when is Vishwaroopam 2 releasing ?

Reports coming in suggest the movie might be released by the third week of November. Kamal Haasan is targetting a solo release between the 2 big releases of Thala Ajith’s Arrambam (Diwali release) and Superstar’s Kochadaiyaan (Rajnikanth Birthday release). Kamal Haasan also has plans to release the film along with the Hindi Version in order to get more screen count and thus ensure an even bigger opening for the movie.

Story :

Viswaroopam Movie begins with Nirupama (Pooja Kumar) explaining to a doctor about her husband Vishwanath (Kamal Hassan), a classical dancer and reveals that she doesn't have any feelings towards him. As Nirupama fall for her boss Deepak, she hires a private detective to check whether Vishwanath is having any kind of affair like her or not. Very soon Nirupama gets into trouble where she comes to know about the dark side of Deepak and the terrific side of her husband Vishwanath. What is the trouble? what is the other side of Vishwanath ? All these elements form the rest of the story.

Analysis :

Viswaroopam movie starts off on a slow note establishing Kamal Hassan as a classical dancer who doesn't have masculine qualities. In spite of being a multi-layered story, Kamal Hassan as a director took no time to reveal the real identity of the hero. The scene where Kamal Hassan's real identity reveals, was shot extremely well. Entire movie rested on the shoulders of Kamal Hassan and his character has appeared in almost every scene. Pre-interval action episode is one of the major asset for the film. Kamal Hassan didn't gave any space for entertainment but a few dialogues between Vishwanath and Nirupama will bring smiles to the audience.

Teluguone Analysis :

Firstly Kamal Hassan must be appreciated for his sincere effort, as always. The way he narrated the movie is completely brilliant and the technical aspect like cinematography and action sequences are well executed. Tittle song is good and it looked much effective at the time of first fight. Entire theater was filled with claps and whistles for this sequence, as everyone liked to see Kamal Hassan as an action hero rather a classical dancer.

Kamal Hassan tried to show some sensible elements especially in the Afghanistan episode. Scenes between Omar's (Rahul) interaction with his family and his guilt after knowing that he has lost his family are touching. Vishwaroopam doesn't have a huge star cast but every one has done their job well. It was good to see the famous director Shekar Kapur on big screen. Viswaroopam might not go well with the masses but this film has been made with highly technical values and will remain as one of the better film of Legendary Actor Kamal Hassan.

Performances :

What all can we say about Kamal Hassan, who is very much passionate towards the cinema and who always try to experiment in every aspect. Once again Kamal Hassan has delivered a realistic and a classy performance and it will be delight for the audience to watch an actor like him on the big screen. Pooja Kumar and Andrea Jeremiah were OK. Shekhar Kapur did a decent job and Bollywood actor Rahul Bose is good as a baddie. His dubbing could have been much better. Jaideep Ahlawat, Nassar and Zarina Wahab have done their job.

Technicalities :

Cinematography by Sanu Varghese has been top class and is one of the major assets for Vishwaroopam. Music and BGM by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy was good. Editing by Mahesh Narayanan was perfect. Kamal Hassan has come up with a nice story and the way he executed the film in terms of technical aspects is appreciated.
