Vikram (1986) stands as a landmark in Tamil cinema, not just for its high-octane action, but as a testament to Kamal Haasan’s futuristic vision. Produced under his banner Raaj Kamal Films International, this espionage thriller attempted to bring the sophistication of Hollywood’s James Bond to Indian screens at a time when such genres were largely unexplored. A Pioneer of Technical Innovation
Computerized Music: It was the first Indian film to use computers for recording songs.
Cinematographer S. M. Anniyappan (also the producer) gave the film a glossy, wide-screen look. The stunts by ‘Fighting’ Shankar were realistic for the time—no over-the-top wirework, just gritty hand-to-hand combat.
Rating: ★★★★½ (Lost half a star only because the sequel took 36 years to arrive.)
