Vikram Vedha is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language neo-noir action thriller film directed and co-written by Pushkar–Gayathri and jointly produced by YNOT Studios, Friday Filmworks, Reliance Entertainment, T-Series Films and Jio Studios. A remake of the director duo's 2017 Tamil film of the same name, it is inspired by the Indian folktale Vetala Panchavimshati and stars Saif Ali Khan and Hrithik Roshan as the titular anti-heroes.[4] Radhika Apte, Rohit Saraf and Yogita Bihani play supporting roles. In the film, a police officer sets out to track down and kill a gangster. After voluntarily surrendering himself, the gangster tells the police officer three stories which change his perceptions of good and evil.

The film, announced in March 2018, marks Khan and Roshan's second collaboration, 20 years after having starred together in Na Tum Jaano Na Hum (2002). Production began in October 2021 and wrapped in June 2022, taking place mostly in Abu Dhabi and Lucknow. The film has music by Sam C. S. and Vishal–Shekhar, and cinematography by P. S. Vinod

Vikram Vedha was theatrically released worldwide on 30 September 2022 and received positive reviews from critics and audience, with praise directed towards the direction, cinematography, screenplay, background score and the performances (particularly Khan and Roshan), but underperformed at the box office.[5] At the 68th Filmfare Awards, it received eight nominations, including Best Actor (Roshan), and won Best Action.

Plot

[edit]

SSP Vikram, an encounter specialist, is tasked with capturing Vedha, a feared gangster from Kanpur. During an operation, Vikram kills an unarmed man, later revealed to be Vedha's younger brother, Shatak, who had been forced into the drug trade. Vedha surrenders to the police and begins telling Vikram a series of stories that challenge his rigid sense of morality, causing Vikram to question his beliefs.

In the first story, Vedha recounts Shatak’s involvement in crime, where he was scarred by rival gangster Babloo. Vedha offers Vikram a moral dilemma: should he kill Babloo or his boss Shiv Prasad? Vikram answers that Shiv Prasad is the real culprit, and Vedha implies that he killed Shiv Prasad. Vedha is later bailed out by Vikram’s wife, Priya, who is his lawyer. Vikram realizes that the unarmed man he killed was Shatak, which intensifies his resolve to stop Vedha. He rushes to protect his friend, SSP Abbas, from a possible attack but finds both Abbas and Chanda, his informant, dead. The IG dismisses it as a botched encounter, and Priya refuses to reveal Vedha's whereabouts.

In the second story, Vedha narrates the tale of Shatak and his girlfriend Chanda. Shatak had been laundering Vedha’s money, but the money went missing when Chanda supposedly stole it. She returns, revealing she took the money to start a new life but came back because of her love for Shatak. Vedha is forced to kill Chanda at his boss Pandey’s orders, but Vikram, torn by the story, chooses to support Shatak. This causes Vedha to escape, and Vikram investigates the murder of Abbas, only to find the corruption within his own unit. The investigation leads Vikram to the realization that Babloo was behind the betrayal and the framing of Abbas.

In the third and final story, Vedha reveals how Babloo had orchestrated the deaths of Shatak and Chanda and was secretly bribing Vikram’s entire unit. The police had been paid to eliminate Vedha, and Abbas, out of guilt, had tried to save Chanda, leading to his death. As the corrupt unit prepares to kill Vikram, Vedha returns to rescue him. A gunfight ensues, and with Vedha’s help, Vikram defeats the corrupt officers, killing the IG. At the climax, Vikram is faced with a moral dilemma: should he kill Vedha, the criminal, or let him go for saving his life?

The film ends with a standoff, leaving Vikram to reflect on his own choices and the complexities of morality.

Production

Development

[edit]

In March 2018, Pushkar–Gayathri were confirmed to be directing a Hindi remake of their Tamil film Vikram Vedha (2017), to be produced again by YNOT Studios.[6] The project is co-produced by Friday Filmworks, T-Series Films and Reliance Entertainment,[7][8] and Neeraj Pandey serves creative producer.[9] Pushkar–Gayathri intended for the remake to maintain the "gritty" tone that the original film had.[10] Although Pandey had previously avoided working on remakes because of his preference to write original material, he was interested in working on this project because of its parallels to Vikramaditya and Betal from the folktale collection Vetala Panchavimshati, which he felt was not yet done in Hindi cinema.[11]

Casting

[edit]

Shah Rukh Khan was approached for the film, but declined.[12] In August 2019, it was confirmed that Saif Ali Khan and Aamir Khan would play the police inspector Vikram and the gangster Vedha respectively.[13] Saif differentiated Vikram from Sartaj Singh, another police officer he played in the streaming television series Sacred Games, saying Vikram is "much more dynamic, confident and strong" than Singh who was suicidal, and constantly picked on by others.[14] Pushkar–Gayathri revealed that they were unable to have R. Madhavan reprise his role of Vikram from the original, due to his commitments to Rocketry: The Nambi Effect (2022).[15]

After production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic during which the writers also re-worked the script, Aamir left the project in December 2020 and was shortly thereafter replaced by Hrithik Roshan.[16][17] This would mark the second time Saif and Roshan share screen space after Na Tum Jaano Na Hum (2002).[18] As Vedha is from Kanpur, Roshan decided to speak with an Awadhi accent.[19] In July, Radhika Apte was cast as Vikram's lawyer wife and Rohit Saraf signed on to play Vedha's brother the following month.[20][21] By November 2021, Sharib Hashmi was confirmed to be in the film as Babloo.[22] In March 2022, Yogita Bihani was chosen to play Chanda.[23][24]

Filming

[edit]

Principal photography was planned to begin in February 2021, when Aamir Khan was in the cast.[25] After Roshan replaced him, it was to have begun in June 2021,[26] but ultimately began on 15 October that year with the first schedule taking place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).[27][28] Before the schedule began, part of the sets originally built for Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) were reworked by Vikram Vedha's crew to resemble Lucknow and Kanpur.[29] In response to reports that Roshan refused to shoot in Lucknow and asked the crew to create the Lucknow sets in Abu Dhabi, causing the budget to escalate, Reliance explained that UAE was "the only location providing the infrastructure for a bio-bubble that accommodated crew of such scale, also allowing building of sets in a studio during the preceding months of the shoot", and the film was shot there due to "health and protocol concerns". They added that their films' shooting locations and budgetary decisions are not controlled by actors.[30] After the Abu Dhabi schedule ended within 27 working days, the second schedule began in Lucknow in early December.[31][32] Saif Ali Khan finished his portions of the schedule by the end of the month.[33] Apte, whose schedule was only 10 days, finished filming most of her portions by 26 April 2022.[34] Filming wrapped by 10 June 2022.[35]

Release

[edit]

Theatrical

[edit]

Vikram Vedha was theatrically released worldwide on 30 September 2022, during the Navratri, Gandhi Jayanti and pre-Dussehra occasions.[44][45] Ahead of the release, Reliance Entertainment obtained a wide-ranging injunction from the Madras High Court to protect the film's copyright. Indian internet service providers were ordered by the court to preemptively block over 13,000 websites that Reliance believed were likely to host illegal copies of the film based on their histories of "non-compliant" operations, even before it was publicly released.[46]

Home media

[edit]

The film premiered on JioCinema on 12 May 2023 in Hindi and dubbed versions of Bengali and Marathi languages.[47]

Reception

[edit]

Box office

[edit]

As of 9 November 2022 the film grossed over ₹79 crore (US$9.5 million) in India for a worldwide gross collection of over ₹135.03 crore (US$16 million).[48] The film underperformed at the box office, which Ganesh Aaglave of Firstpost attributed to audiences having possibly seen the original Tamil film with subtitles or its dubbed Hindi version,[49] while Kusumika Das of Zoom believes it was due to a box office clash with Ponniyin Selvan: I.[50]

Critical response

[edit]

Vikram Vedha received positive reviews from critics and audience.[51][5] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 78% of 18 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.7/10.[52]

Bollywood Hungama rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "Vikram Vedha is a brilliant massy fare that works due to the strong writing, unpredictable moments, Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan's outstanding performances and the electrifying background score".[53] Sanchita Jhunjhunwala of Times Now rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "There are ample of highs in the movie, including the narrative that builds up, the setting that the makers have put together, and the so many characters involved. The film boasts of some absolutely mind-blowing shots, and due credits to the director duo for the same".[54] Tushar Joshi of India Today rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Vikram Vedha is unapologetically massy. It's also a lot of fun, and with two rock-solid performers like Hrithik and Saif".[55] Rachana Dubey of The Times of India rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Hrithik is menacing, ruthless and extremely emotional in parts. Pushkar-Gayathri, have pretty much stuck to the blue-print they created for the original, It's a plus that they haven't changed the roadmap too much".[56] Dishya Sharma of News18 rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Vikram Vedha is a massy film that serves as a fun single-screen theatre experience. I'd suggest caving into Pushkar and Gayathri's make-believe world and joining Vikram and Vedha's cat and mouse chase".[57] Mugdha Kapoor of DNA India rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan exude a level of comfort that only two very secure actors could portray onscreen".[58] Devesh Sharma of Filmfare rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Watch the film for its stylised action scenes. The Parkour sequence involving Hrithik is action choreography at its imaginative best. And also for the rock solid performances by both Saif Ali Khan and Hrithik Roshan".[59]

Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "A screenplay and superstar in perfect tandem, it doesn't get better than this".[60] Ritika Handoo of Zee News rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "A mass entertainer, the film shows some sturdy technical work, especially the pithy camerawork. The lines between right and wrong blur in the film, so the cinematographer P.S. Vinod effectively brings out the essence of Kanpur and Lucknow as he holds the pulse of the leading lines in his frames".[61] Stutee Ghosh of The Quint rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Hritik and Saif seem to be really enjoying themselves. It's their self-assured presence that keeps us hooked even when the pacing falters or the film seems too stretched for its own good".[62] Mahpara Kabir of ABP News rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Vikram Vedha is a complete masala entertainer with apt amount of action, drama and thought-provoking introspection. Thriving in high-octane action, it's a delight to watch Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan on the big screen after a long time. The film loaded with power-packed performance by two of the most suave looking actors".[63] Sanyukta Thakare of Mashable rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Vikram Vedha is certainly the watch for this week, with a rare balance of visuals, story and performances".[64]

Bharathi Pradhan of Lehren rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and termed the film as "double victory". "In which one is the compelling performances of Saif and Hrithik. The second is the unique, layered style of the husband-and-wife duo, awesomeness in the visuals and in the action, played out with a signature background score".[65] Prateek Sur of Outlook rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "They've not tried to ape, but stayed true to the original and given the entertainment quotient the highest priority. It may have a few shortcomings with its length and music-choreography, but otherwise, it's a solid film".[66] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "After a long time, two top-flight stars such as Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan sink their teeth into a proper story which comes before them".[67] Abhimanyu Mathur of Hindustan Times stated "Vikram Vedha works as both a thriller and a masala action flick. It is enjoyable and even manages a few whistles and claps in a packed hall".[68] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Saif Ali Khan makes a far better Vikram. Hrithik Roshan harnesses his star appeal and screen presence to deliver the goods".[69] R Krishnakumar of Deccan Herald rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Vikram Vedha needed some more of that kind of inspired madness to take it beyond what it ends up as: an almost satisfactory, risk-free remake".[70] Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "This Hindi Vikram Vedha retains the swag of the Tamil original, but some minor changes in it are curious in what they reveal about the team's assessment of north Indian viewers".[71] Manjusha Radhakrishnan of Gulf News rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and termed it as a "hero-laden visual spectacle".[72]
