Positive Things of Vikram 2022 movie:

1. Densed writing :

This movie has highly densed writing that each and every scene of the movie has a story behind. For an example, during the investigation of Amar about Vikram, most of his witnesses are talking about 5 years of frame which says that Vikram has entered into the house of PRabhanjan who is an ACP of police who gets thread from drug dealers. It indirectly says that Vikram is on a mission that he will enter the house of Prabhanjan to save his life and to get more information about drug dealers in the city.

2. Casts selection:

The cast for each and every role of this movie has been chosen carefully and some of the examples are, 

Agent Lawrence role has been given to Elangovan who has the perfect face for the character. 

Gayathri ( Amar's wife ) role has been given to actress Gayathri Shankar who has an innocent face and perfect look suiting the character. 

3. Acting of Casts :

All the actors and actresses of this movie have done their roles without any compromise.

4. Music :

Anirudh has done his part brilliantly. 

5. Originality of the script :

The script could have been written based on Vikram 1986 or Kaidhi or even as a complete 100% Kamal Fan boy movie. But Lokesh Kanagaraj has chosen to be unique and to get Kamal hassan and big stars in his original script which has a part of his cinematic Universe. 

6. New attempt at creating a cinematic universe :

It is not common in Tamil movies to see a unique universe talked in various movies either of same director or by different directors. But in this movie, Lokesh has started this concept of LCU ( Lokesh Cinematic Universe ) that Vikram 2022 has a backdrop of Tamil movie Kaidhi which was directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj himself. Not only the same character, but these two movies have some back stories in common. 

7. Cinematography :
