Dear Men,
If you think that Women are meant only for serving you and your family in this society, please watch Bigil this Diwali along with women of your family...
*Spoiler free review*
The movie is not like the previous outings of Vijay and Atlee.
The film is rich in its emotions and there's a little amount of action too.
Atlee breaks the movie into two halves, an action-packed first half and an emotional second half.
The film has got nothing to do with football, it was just used as a medium to spin the story around! So, please bear with it football fans!
The first half is purely for Vijay's Nenjil kudiyirukkum (heart dwelling) fans, where Vijay appears in dual roles, as a Rogue father (Rayappan) who fights for his people's peace and a football playing son (Michael) who mastered the game.
Whenever they appear in a frame together, it is a treat for fans to watch and would go for Bigils (whistles) for sure.
Rayappan's character will be one of the memorable ones in Vijay's career!
Nayanthara (Angel Ashirvadham) travels with Vijay throughout the movie and managed to score in few places beautifully well.
Jackie Shroff (Sharma) appears as a corrupt National football selector, who can threaten and get scared away easily. Could have been more powerful!
Kathir plays the coach of Women's football team, for namesake, who managed to perform within a boundary, laying down and sitting in the chair. This talented actor should have been given more space!
The girls (Singapengal) raised the second half of this sports drama!
Some characters like Pandiyamma, Thendral, Anitha, Vembu and Gayathri attracted our attention.
The other actors like Yogi Babu, Vivek, Anandhraj, Daniel Balaji, IM Vijayan (once a football player of Indian team), Gnanasambandham, Devadarshini, the cute little girl in Michael's home did their job without any compromises.
Madhare and Singapenney were the powerful songs that summed up the film.
Muthuraj's tireless efforts should be appreciated with awards for erecting such massive stadiums!
The lightings coloured the action and song sequences. Especially, Singapenney song was extraordinary!
The Vfx worked almost near perfection, but, still the money matters.
GK Vishnu captured the stadium from top angle beautifully and, each and every shots were very lively, that easily played with our emotions. Raised his bar!
Ruben's editing didn't make us feel the length of the film and the slo-mo portions in the football ground came out well.
AR Rahman's background score is the soul for the movie!
His emotional driven music kept us engaged with the film till the end.
His guest appearance was unexpected and crowd went crazy on seeing him on-screen!
That local tingles with folk chorus, Hey chants and his own voice-fillers (especially 'Agnichirage...' at the climax) lit the movie.
The Bigil would be incomplete without ARR!
Atlee hits the bull's eye yet again!
He proves himself as a proud student of Director Shankar.
His film making matures year after year and right now, he can lift his collar and say that he is best commercial directors in the industry!
In the Madhare song, a small burning newspaper bit saying that India is 108th in the list of World's safest country for Women was seen and that shows his love for filmmaking.
The scenes that involves Gayathri and Anitha just before the Singapenney song were brilliant and that's all about this movie!
The importance of education and sports is instilled well.
I would always imagine how a director of this age can pull off big budget blockbusters that easily?
Hats off to Atlee and the entire Bigil Team!!!
Blurb: Bigil is an emo-actional sports drama purely dedicated to (Pullingo) Women!

At first was a bit disappointed by film making. Loved the women-centric take, acting, songs and comedy ;but i believe bigil has a lot of undug potential. Like in the case of Anadraj, Daniel Balaji and Kathir's character and a bit more from Royappan. Action sequences (except Wrath of Michael before interval) were not very interesting. But the highlight would be the women centric take from 2nd half onwards and Royappan.
