Vishwaroopam is probably one of Kamal’s most unforgettable movies – both in terms of its reception as well as its pre-release hullaballoo. However, all is well that ends well and Vishwaroopam has emerged as one of the blockbusters of the year.
Nearing 50 days yet Vishwaroopam is doing good business on weekends in the city’s multiplexes.
To add another feather in its crown, Vishwaroopam’s art direction won a National Award recently.

The spy thriller, partly shot in the US, starts off as a regular family drama and transpires into something bigger and sinister. Kamal, Pooja Kumar, Andrea and Rahul Bose star in Kamal's directorial venture that fetched him more news headlines than probably any of his movies.
This blockbuster has been making good moolah at the box office and multiplexes in the city are still reluctant to let go of the movie.

Kamal’s Vishwaroopam was victimized and stood testimony for the status of freedom of expression in the world’s largest democracy. Otherwise, it’s a tautly written, brilliantly performed and composed movie with one of the finest actors in Indian cinema.
Most likely to be a blockbuster, Vishwaroopam seems to have broken all predictions despite its inordinate delay in releasing after the ruckus. Multiplex audiences are giving the much desired weekend push in collections.
Pooja Kumar and Andrea spread some cheer in the otherwise grim action thriller.
