Analysis :
Smitten
by the flash back bug, Dr Kamal does different things to awaken the
tough keys of the ticket counter which he finally does. Viswaroopam
shows the universal legend in his full format, in spite of attracting
controversies form day one. It is on par with Hollywood and in some
sequences has excelled the mentor. Kamal has opened up newer horizons in
filming with his latest venture.His Matrix style narration where the camera becomes silent, is awesome. The hectic logistics planning especially in the US Army sequences are sure to keep the viewer mesmerizing. Back ground music is good but songs fall out of place and this is one place that Kamal should have worked. On the whole First half is slow while second half compensates and shoots past at lightning speed.
Performance :
Even
the most acclaimed critic needs to bow before this master actor Kamal.
He was inspiring in spite of handling so many jobs on the film. This
Viswanath's character adds another feather to his cap of laurels.Shekar Kapur enjoys the company of this versatile actor and is at home. None would have ever thought that suave Rahul Bose would fit the bill of Omar. But he is simply extra-ordinary in the role. Pooja Kumar is glamorous and brings in an air of freshness while Andrea Jeremiah is seen less. Viswaroopam is a visual treat filled with technical excellence that is unheard in these parts of the world and less heard globally.
Final Word: Viswaroopam review has universal appeal for action, narration and technology.

Srikanth
Addala handles the screenplay in the best plausible way. In spite of
having two superstars in his script, the storyline had been neatly woven
befitting both. First show returnees show content while striking chord
with the subject. Music by Mickey J Meyer and back ground by Mani Sharma
are appealing. The filmmaker has done his homework well to bring out
the best in each actor in the family environment.
Venkatesh
and Mahesh Babu are awesomely interesting pair and dominate the
scenario with their versatility and acting prowess. Anjali brings fresh
air to the film while Samantha looks gorgeous. Prakash Raj is his usual
self and Rao Ramesh acts to be hated by the film goers. Brahmanandam and
Venu Madhavan complete the laughter angle of the film and entertain
with newer sequences.
