Vikram

Vikram is an Indian action crime thriller released in June 2022, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, who wrote the screenplay with Rathna Kumar. It centres on Amar, an investigator assigned to a case of serial killings. As he digs into the inquiry, he finds the matter is not what it first appeared to be, and that pursuing it will set those involved on a collision course with one another.

The film stars Kamal Haasan as Karnan, also known as Arun Kumar Vikram, alongside Fahadh Faasil as Amar and Vijay Sethupathi as Sandhanam. Narain, Chemban Vinod Jose and Santhana Bharathi appear among the credited cast of 38. Kamal Haasan produced through Raajkamal Films International with R. Mahendran. The film sits second in the director's chronological filmography, between Kaithi and Leo, and is followed by Coolie.

Made on a budget of about 15 million dollars, it took roughly 30 million dollars worldwide, a strong return for an Indian production of that scale. Audiences responded well: it holds 8.3 out of 10 on IMDb from around 89,000 votes and 7.6 out of 10 on TMDB from 184 votes. The critics' rating stands at 5.3 out of 10 from 17 reviews, noticeably lower than the audience scores, indicating that viewers were considerably more enthusiastic about the film than reviewers were.
