Story Plot
Story starts in a Village, Vikram is introduced as a body builder in the Village where he comes to see Amy Jackson who is a familiar model, he falls in love with her though she treats him like a normal friend, Vikram decides to become a model for her, he finds Villain there who is also a model and has some problems with Amy Jackson, Villain’s finds an virus named “I” which turns man more beautiful, he tries the same on Vikram first, though initially it works but later it shows abnormal behaviour and transforms hero into various shapes, on the other hand Villain tries to spoil Amy’s career, how Vikram transforms back into normal man and saves Amy from goons is the rest of the plot.
Rating: 3/5
Performances:
Its needless to say about the effort Vikram has put in to this film, he just lived in the character, his dialogue modulation and body presence after virus effect is terrific. Amy Jackson is okay in her role, her performance was not upto expectation, though she had limited scope she restricted herself from not opening up. Upen as Villain is just okay, he maintained only one expression through out the film. Others were just okay, comedy is not upto the mark, the film was focused on Vikram and they succeeded.
Music by Ar Rehman, on screen 3 song were good, BGM was okay but more was expected from him for this kind of films.
Camera work is top notch, one of the best works from PC Sreeram, Editing is good enough in the first half should have been crisper in the second half, Visual effects are by far the best among South Indian films, Fights were good. Production values were just amazing.
Director and His Film:
Story of I seems to be very normal with some scientific touch but Shankar’s visualization of the same makes it visual grandeur on screen, story was pitched up on love emotion but that was not strongly convinced by the director, while watching entire movie one feels that something grand is happening on the screen but can not connect to the emotion, heroine falls in love with hero only after he becomes model thats almost before interval where actual story kickstarts , screenplay was good but the film was bit lengthy especially in the second half, in the midway of the film post interval it makes you feel bore. Shankar has chosen best possible team for this movie and no doubt he has done a good job but something more was expected from him. Songs were well picturised but some of them were like speed breakers and none of them carried the film forward. Climax of the film was good and makes up for very dragging later half.
Despite of many ups and downs in the narration, by the end you might feel satisfied for the money spent on ticket only for great locations and graphics, from Shankar’s point of view it is his weakest work in recent times.
