Kalyanram as Sivakasi in Vijayadasami

Vijayadasami is based on Tamil film Sivakasi starring Vijay and Asin. Sivakasi was one of the Perarasu, Vijay combo hits in Tamil. Sivakasi came a few years ago. Vijayadasami is almost a scene-to-scene copy of the original.

Vijayadasami is a family story with some mass elements. Sivakasi (Kalyanram) is a welder. He runs away from home during his childhood after being beaten up by his dad. He goes back to his native in the present only to find that his brother Durga Prasad (Saikumar) is treating his mother and sister very badly. Instead of revealing who he is, Sivakasi uses his brains in making the lifes happy of his sister and mother, and brings a change in his brother.

Kalyanram did well in his role. However, it felt that he was better in Atanokkade than this film. He is successful in keeping the Sivakasi role lively.



Story is rehashed version of several old films. First half of the film has nothing to offer to the actual plot. Actual story is only in the second half. First half is filled with songs and fights, typically a song and a fight pattern.


Music by Srikanth Deva is more like noise than music. Special effects in the film are good and especially the way they are used in the action scenes are nice.

Samudra makes a short appearance in the introduction scene of the hero. Overall, it is just about an average flick. It is a family story narrated in old fashioned style with some mass elements added. The film has very good chances in B,C centers.
