Emmerdale fans went wild on Wednesday night as Diane Sugden made a return to the village for the Dingle family's emotional surprise day for Faith. Earlier this year, Faith discovered that her breast cancer had returned and it was terminal with her family trying to make her final few months as special as possible. Only recently, Faith wanted a family day at the seaside but when her health took a turn for the worse it meant their trip couldn't go ahead.
‘Vikram’ Review: A Tamil Action Legend Returns to Take Down a Drug Dealer in Thrilling Kollywood Hit
10.10.2022 - 13:39 / variety.com
Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic If Hollywood can justify making sequels to “Rambo” and “Top Gun” more than three decades on, why can’t Kollywood do the same? In tons-of-fun “Vikram,” a secret agent first introduced in 1986 emerges from deep undercover to thwart the biggest drug deal in Indian history. He’s a grandfather now, but that doesn’t stop the title character (Kamal Haasan) from tossing people across the room in this turbo-charged, three-hour action bonanza, which pairs Vikram with a younger operative named Amar (Fahadh Faasil). The two have at least one thing in common: Rules and regulations don’t matter, which means they’re free to fight crime as creatively as they (and director Lokesh Kanagaraj) see fit.
Taking a page from James Cameron’s “True Lies,” with its go-big-or-go-home approach to set-pieces, Kanagaraj has pulled off a memorably over-the-top blockbuster and the year’s top-grossing Tamil-language hit (at $53.7 million and counting). There’s at least one other trick the helmer has learned from Hollywood — although the entire project can feel like an epic parody of studio hyperbole at times — and that’s the strategy of connecting the film to past and future projects (so far, just 2019’s “Kaithi”) through overlapping plotlines and characters: Call it the Lokesh Cinematic Universe.
In a way, that’s how repurposing the name Vikram functions, too, tying this new movie to one of its star’s earlier hits without worrying too much about how they relate. Beyond dozens of winking in-jokes, the two movies have little in common as Kanagaraj brings the character into the 21st century. Cue one of the catchiest tunes you’ll hear all year, composer Anirudh Ravichander’s amped-up redo of Ilaiyaraaja’s 1986 theme for
