Plot[edit]

An arms deal takes place between the General Secretary of Europol police and the head of the Russian mafia gang in a dense Serbian forest, secured with multiple layers of military personnel, where Ajay Kumar "AK", a former Counter-Terrorist Squad (CTS) officer, successfully intercepts the deal and secures the weapons drive. Meanwhile, the CTS agency learns that AK is alive after being presumed dead, where they assign AK's best friends and colleagues Michael, Rachael and Shawn and Aryan, to track down AK.

Past: AK lives happily with his wife Yazhini, who owns and manages an Indian restaurant. Their life is interrupted by a mission to trace an outlaw hacker named Natasha from Bulgaria, who was responsible for cracking the security codes of the plutonium weapons. There has already been three man-made seismic activities caused by the explosion of plutonium bombs. Natasha is wanted by the Interpol, CIA and various other terrorist groups around the world for her hacking skills. AK's mission is to secure Natasha, thereby preventing the two future seismic quakes targeted in India. AK goes back to Serbia in search of Natasha, where he is guided by a local translator Arumai Prakasm "APS".

AK interrogates the hospital doctors in the city and finds that Natasha had undergone plastic surgery. An Albanian gang captures Natasha's boyfriend and tortures him to death. With the help of the pacemaker found in her boyfriend's body, AK traces Natasha and moves her to a safe house. Natasha was unaware that the code she decrypted was that of a nuclear weapon. She felt guilty and proposed to defuse the remaining weapons from a neutrino site. On their way to the site, Natasha gets killed by a group of terrorists, while Aryan, Michael, Rachael and Shawn ambushes AK. However, AK survives the ambush and recovers in the forest, where he retrieves the weapons drive during the arms exchange deal in the Serbian forest.

Present: Aryan hires a group of assassins to kill Yazhini, but AK neutralizes the assassins and saves her. AK traps Rachael and Michael in a network of subway train tunnels where he manages to kill both of them. Later, AK learns that Aryan and his teammates belong to the shadow government which controls the economy of the world by war manipulation. With Yazhini's help, AK infiltrates into the CTS headquarters where he meets Shawn and tortures him regarding about the coordinates of buried weapon's location. Shawn is killed by a watch (which is a time bomb) and AK is saved in the nick of time by Yazhini. As a counter-terrorist officer and shadow government agent, Aryan forces AK and Yazhini into hiding by blaming AK as the wanted terrorist.

AK releases a video challenging Aryan and his group to save Aryan from being assassinated. Aryan is provided security and is not allowed to move out of the building till the next 24 hours. Aryan successfully escapes the security by secretly killing his own security guards. AK tries to stop the nuclear weapon from blasting by turning off the satellites by powerhub. To prevent AK from continuing his job, Aryan kidnaps Yazhini and keeps her in a secret place. Aryan asks AK whether he will save Yazhini or stop the bomb. AK seeks proof for her kidnapping and Yazhini provides him with her location using morse code. AK arrives at the place, where he prevents the plutonium weapon from exploding and kills Aryan. AK, Yazhini and their baby girl named Natasha goes for a long drive, where a mission is assigned for AK.

Vivegam (transl. Prudence) is the soundtrack album for the 2017 Indian Tamil film of the same name, composed by Anirudh Ravichander. The film, directed by Siva, stars Ajith Kumar and Kajal Aggarwal, whilst Vivek Oberoi and Akshara Hassan, portray supporting roles. Kabilan Vairamuthu, Yogi B, Siva and Raja Kumari wrote the lyrics for the film. The soundtrack album featuring seven songs, were released digitally on 7 August 2017, by Sony Music, receiving positive feedback from critics.[25]

Production[edit]

The film marks the third collaboration between Ajith Kumar and Siva, after Vedalam (2015) & Veeram (2014). The song "Surviva" is a western-based EDM number. Performed by Malaysian rapper Yogi B, the song has lyrics about survival.[26] With a tagline "Believe in yourself", this new track is believed to be along similar lines of never giving up and surviving.[27]

The second song "Thalai Viduthalai" is in the death metal rock genre. It is based on a punchline – 'Never, ever GIVE UP!' that became a rage after fans saw Ajith saying in a high-pitched tone in the teaser earlier. Thalai Viduthalai is written by director Siva and is a highly motivating song to wake up in the morning and start your day with a new passion. The philosophy of the song is, irrespective of the number of times you have been knocked down, as long as you are willing to stand up again and fight back, you are not a failure. The heavy metal track and adrenaline pumping lyrics match the larger than life onscreen and off-screen image of Ajith. Besides composing tunes, Anirudh Ravichander has also lent his voice to the song along with Harish Swaminathan. Anirudh quoted that, this song is a tribute and dedication to 'Thala' Ajith Kumar for his 25 years of grit, determination and hardwork in his cinema career"[28]

The third song "Kaadhalada" is a classic number. In one of the recent interviews with a leading daily, Kabilan Vairamuthu, who has penned the lyrics for Kadhalaada song revealed how he got this opportunity. He said, I was initially called in to work on the script; I ve co-written the screenplay. That was my first job in Vivegam, and during a discussion, this opportunity to write the lyrics for a song came up. The lyricist did not reveal much about the song before its release but opened up about the film. He further added, Vivegam has come out in a very stylish manner. I m sure it will be enjoyed by people of all ages." Kabilan is working with Ajith Kumar for the first time.[29]

The audio rights of the film were acquired by Sony Music, for a whooping amount of ₹2 crore.[30] Sridhar Subramanian, the CEO of Sony Music South, confirmed it on Twitter on 14 June 2017.[31][32][33]

Sify rated it 4 out of 5 and stated that "Anirudh adds an international flavour to a quintessential ‘mass’ album!"[48] BollywoodLife rated 4 out of 5, with a verdict "Anirudh Ravichander has done it again, composed a winner of an album! He has understood the actioner's theme and the lead star perfectly and composed brilliant, foot tapping tunes. Right form death metal vibes to breezy, romantic tunes, he has given us an impressive variation. All in all, Do NOT miss the Vivegam album."[49] International Business Times, reviewed it as "The album has many songs that win the hearts of the audience and it is easily one of the best albums composed by Anirudh."[50]

Marketing[edit]

The first look poster of Vivegam was released on 2 February 2017 at 12:01 AM. Ajith's physical transformation was praised, given that he had to undergo a painful knee operation in November 2015, after the release of his previous film, Vedalam.[51]

The first teaser trailer was released by the film's makers on 11 May 2017. It shows Ajith running about, flexing his muscles, dodging bullets and shooting bullets.[52] It became the fastest movie teaser to reach 5 million views within 12 hours after breaking the record of 5 million views set by the Kabali teaser in 24 hours.[53] It went on to become the most liked for an Indian film after surpassing the record of 500 thousand and more likes set by the Tubelight teaser.[54] The trailer of this movie was released on 17 August 2017.[55]

The full trailer was presented by Siva and promises a "Tamil film with an international flavor" . it contains elements of friendship, romance, sentiment and action, unlike the teaser, which was completely action packed. The trailer is dedicated to showing the attitude of Ajith's character, that he will move mountains or die trying. He is beaten again and again, yet he keeps bouncing back.[56][57]

Release[edit]

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 0% of 2 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.5/10.

M. Suganth of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Vivegam is an over-the-top but engaging action thriller with a calculated mix of brawn and brain, action and sentiment, smartly pandering to fans while giving families something to connect with."[61] Manoj Kumar. R of The Indian Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote "The film has good music, good visuals, high-voltage action sequences, picturesque landscapes and beautiful faces. Also add heartwarming moments between the characters of Ajith and Kajal Aggarwal to the list. Ajith and Siva get full marks for their efforts."[62] [63]

Sreedhar Pillai of Firstpost gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Vivegam is largely targeted at Ajith fans, and while it lacks logic it looks super stylish, and is a well-shot action entertainer."[64] Sandeep Acharya of Hindustan Times gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Vivegam has rightfully come up for praise thanks for the difficult stunts that Ajith has pulled off. However, the film falls short of being great as it fares poorly in the writing department."[65]

Sethumadhavan N of Bangalore Mirror gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Vivegam isn’t as entertaining as Veeram, nor is it as low on novelty like Vedalam. It tries to be an impactful spy action-thriller and on that front it scores well at least on the action front."[66] Srivatsan of India Today gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "With Vivegam, one hopes that Siva's trilogy aimed at making Ajith Kumar a larger-than-life character comes to an end."[67]

Sowmya Rajendran of The News Minute wrote "Vivegam is like a circus - it has a bunch of talented performers pulling off gravity defying stunts in separate acts that are written to make the crowd clap as soon as each ends."[68] Srinivas Ramanujan of The Hindu wrote "Vivegam is a misfire on many levels. It's an attempt to make an “international” thriller, with the assumption that a star with a huge fan base would be able to pull it off. Ajith's effort is sincere, but Vivegam just doesn't come together."[69]

Box office[edit]

The film grossed ₹33.08 crore on its opening day and crossed the ₹100 crore mark on its first weekend.[4]
