Shabash Vikram

About This Movie

Shabash Vikram is an interesting blend of action and thriller, coming out of the Kannada film scene in 1985. It’s loosely adapted from Jack Higgins' novel, which adds a different flavor to the usual masala formula. The pacing is a bit uneven; it swings from intense chase sequences to slower dramatic moments, creating an odd but engaging rhythm. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain charm that’s hard to ignore. The performances are a mixed bag, but there's a raw energy that really captures the era. The film's themes of survival and resilience resonate, even if they feel overlaid with typical genre tropes. Overall, it’s a distinctive piece that reflects its time and offers an intriguing watch for collectors.
