Director Pushkar Gayatri crafts a compelling gangster drama with "Vikram Vedha", a non linear story full of plot twists that involves a cat and mouse game between the legal authorities led by Vikram (Madhavan), and his worthwhile adversary, the smuggler and murderer Vedha (Vijay Sethupathi). The picture blurs the line between good and bad, as both sides are ruthless in their determination, thereby challenging traditional morality and the distinction between right and wrong, good and bad. It's a story that will keep you guessing as to it's outcome, and even then when it's over, one remains on the fence as to motivations and methods employed. It's always a welcome surprise when a foreign made film can be just as provocative, or even more so, than an American made gangster drama.
