Anirudh continues with what is easily the finest background score in recent memory as its time to see the villains from Kaithi back to what we call today the "Lokiverse". Even with all the big names around him, have to commend Arjun Das's small but effective performance here.
From asking Bejoy (Narain)- "What is the difference between you guys and Terrorists" to finally joining their squad as he wears the black mask and walks away from his wife's grave, Fahadh Faasil gave full justice to a wonderfully developer character.
The scene switches to Dilli's house as you see his daughter from Kaithi and then hear Karthi's voice. In an interview, Lokesh was asked why he didnt show Karthi here. Lokesh's reply was he didnt want to give all the excitement to viewers in one go
Agree-this itself was more!
Then you have this homage to Dark Knight rises as Vikram(Kamal) give his grandson one final visit and they share a glance. Beyond the action classic it is today and Lokesh's fine making,Vikram also had a great Kamal Haasan performance
This frame is just one testimonial to that.
And then you have the big big cameo of Suriya playing Rolex. Imagine if this had remained a suspense until the FDFS !
Its interesting how did Lokesh decide on Suriya to play this role ? But a knockout decision nevertheless !
Now if all this is not enough, you have another surprise that Vikram was all this time in middle of the men when Rolex had arrived and announced a bounty for the person who could bring Vikram's head to him.
This has to be the finest closing shot ever in a Tamil film !

As #Beast is coming in 2 weeks and two of Vijay's dance numbers are chartbusters, a look back at Vijay's career and his hit dance numbers through years.
There is a hit dance number almost every year in his 25+ years career !
This is few years after his debut. But this one was a smashing hit and aged well too. I wonder if Vijay and viewers would have thought he would keep giving hit dance numbers for another nearly 25 years
At age of 25 -"Meghamaai Vanthu Pogiren" (Thullatha Manavum Thullum)
Beautiful song. Beautifully choreographed. Still remember how the film was a big hit in Kerala too and perhaps was the start of craze for the actor in the state too
. #NedumudiVenu was an immensely versatile actor. To know his ability to play any role in a script, you just have to take Mohanlal movies as base. Its interesting how he has played just about any character revolving around Mohanlal as a hero. #Thread
In Bharatham - He is the jealous elder brother, an alcoholic who first couldn't digest the fact that his younger brother starts getting more fame and praise than his younger brother. He finally comes terms with it and gives his blessings before being met with an accident
In His Highness Abdulla, he is the character whom the hero has taken contract to kill but then slowly develops a special bond with. A special performance that won National Award
Mammootty turns 70.. Looking at the real special "Mammootty skills" that make him such a fantastic actor and listing my favorite performance in each category.... These are the reasons why I have kept adoring the actor more as years passed.
Not only does Mammootty brings in such difference to this portrayal than the 400+ movies he has done, he just becomes every inch of the Thrissur based business man speaking the dialect to astounding perfection.
Skill - To portray father on screen brilliantly
Favorite - Pappayude Swantham Appoos
Perhaps only second to Thilakan while portraying the warmth and affection of a father on screen, who can forget the line - "Aarokke paranjaalum Gopaa nee mathram parayaruthu .."
Prithviraj's biggest asset is that you can't predict what he's upto next. He could switch between genres or surprise you handling any field of Cinema. He could be hero, villain or second fiddle
At age of 20, in his debut year, he may be raw and little unpolished. But nevertheless he shows range straight away, acting in a romance like Nandanam and action movie like Stop Violence
At age of 23, Prithviraj nails the sauve and soft-spoken villain in Kana Kandein, an act that makes me a fan for the first time. Debuting in Tamil, the actor looked damn confident in each frame of the movie.
I have to admit I have become a bigger fan of @mammukka recently than I used to be before. What amazes me is his consistency as a performer across these 35-40 years and an undying passion to keep improvising
How Mammootty found ways to remain consistent over years-A long #Thread
At age of 30, Mammooty had won state award for second best actor in Ahimsa
At age of 31, his act as a police officer in Yavanika perhaps changed the way Malayalam actors used to approach Police roles. He would then go onto play police roles of umpteen variations in years to come.
