Vijay's most awaited movie 'Mersal' hit the screens today amidst huge buzz and high expectations. As this is Vijay's second collaboration with 'Theri' director Atlee, there's a lot of curiosity surrounding the film and let's see whether the movie lives up to the expectations or not. The story begins with few doctors being kidnapped and murdered one by one and a doctor is arrested as the police suspect him. Is he the real culprit behind those murders, if yes what is his intention in doing so must be seen on the big screen. The story has a lot of potential to make a perfect entertaining thriller and Atlee is mostly successful in doing so.
Coming to performances, it is Vijay's one-man show right from the scene one. He had three different roles to play in the film and did justice to each of them and though he has never tried roles like a magician and a doctor he excels in portraying them. He even performed magician tricks on his own which is a testimony to his dedication and passion towards cinema. Coming to action and mass scenes, he was at ease and performed them effortlessly. Nithya Menen has done a superb job once again and proved why she is regarded as one of the finest actors we have. Samantha and Kajal performed well within their limits and SJ Suryah did justice to his role.
On the technical front, Mersal scores big as it consists some big names of the industry like A.R. Rahman, GK Vishnu, Ruben etc. A.R Rahman's music is one of the major highlights of the film and his background score elevates the film to the next level. The songs in the first half are a treat to listen and watch. Thanks to some amazing cinematography from GK Vishnu who excellently captures various moods of the film. He has done a fantastic job in few crucial scenes like the introduction scene and the pre-interval scene. Ruben has done a decent job as he could've trimmed the runtime a little bit, nevertheless, his crisp cuts and editing skills make things better while watching 170 minutes long movie.
Using the brilliant story provided by K.V. Vijayendra Prasad and the mass image of Vijay, Atlee made a perfect commercial entertainer with negligible flaws here and there. The runtime is the main culprit in this action drama which otherwise would've been a perfect Diwali gift for Vijay's fans and mass audience. Vijay's performance and high-quality technical team make Mersal a must watch film for this festival weekend.
Verdict: Don't miss this high voltage commercial entertainer from Vijay!
