Synopsys:
Vikram is a honest cop. He and his encounter team kill dreaded gangsters and people on the wrong side of law. Vikram is very proud of the fact that they are good guys and they eliminate the bad guys. His conscience is clear and he gets a good night's sleep even after an encounter. Vedha is a dreaded gangster and is in Vikram's list to eliminate. Vedha surrenders unexpectedly. Vikram's team starts to interrogate him but he does not say anything until Vikram's turn comes. Vedha tells Vikram that he wants to tell his story and starts to talk about his early life and how he became the gangster that he is. Vikram reluctantly starts to listen to Vedha's story while Priya enters to get Vedha out on bail. Why Vedha decides to surrender unexpectedly and starts taking to Vikram is the crux of the story?

Review: Similar to Vikram and Bethaal, where Bethaal asks questions and King Vikram answers them as per his understanding of Dharma, the movie emphasises about the perspective of good and bad in our actions. The cop, Vikram sees the world in black and white and the gangster, Vedha using a series of short probing stories tries to get Vikram to see the gray in between. Actors Madhavan as Vikram and Vijay as Sethupathi are brilliant. Kathir, Sharddha Varalaxmi have small roles and play their parts well. The tight screenplay is riveting and will keep the audience engaged till the end. Directors have done a amazing job. Go and Watch this movie even now on ZEE5!
