Vikram Vedha is a Tamil film written and directed by Pushkar-Gayathri. And of course, highest rated in that year 2017. It is difficult to see the movies with modern adaptions of cultural stories.It is also this type of movie which is an adaption of Vikramaditya and vedhalam stories. The film is written with the care of merging modernism in the classic story. Frame narration is a literary device which is also known as story within a story.Like the normal narrative elements, frame stories also has its own characteristics.This embedded narration is helpful for crafting meta-narrative fiction.
Vikram Vedha also promising in clarifying that why we love stories and how we remember stories. In other words, it reflects that what we know about stories. This film has a two narrative timeline. They are main story and frame story which is separated into 3 parts for a plot purpose. The main timeline exhibits the clash between gangsters and police. And the other timeline stories told by vedha which is a flashback of him.This is a reason why we are so obsessed only with vedha. Not only in this movie, all storytellers from literature wants us to empathize with them.This traditional sequel also placed in the movie.
There are three stories told by Vedha.They had an individual theme and meaning. Each story always connects both of them. It looks like stories involved only about Vedha's past but It also involved in Vikram's present.
The first story conveys the point that "Who is good and bad?" and "Which is fair and unfair?".Before vedha telling every story he always gives a proper theme definition that what it is about?. We can see Vikram tells that,"If I give you 10 crores today in exchange for you quitting this job, only you will go to your home and plot a way to grab the money from me..." and vedha replied with the same tone. We clearly see that the first story is same as above conversation of both, which created chaos for choosing the right man. The second story is the sentimental story of Vikram and vedha. It seems like the sentimental story of vedha only. But it also connects Vikram. Before telling the story he tells that "I do know that you are deeply sentimental inside." In the earlier scenes, Vikram told that "I know my victims are not innocents.."But in this case, he failed in it. He killed an innocent. He went to the paranoid stage then vedha hit with the rock and it is his weakness. So this second story shows the weaknesses and sentiments of both Vikram and vedha.
"The Third story-Blindfold horses"
And when it comes to the third story, it depicts both characters as blindfolded horses. This is the point where Vikram and vedha found their answers for questions. Vedhas tells that, "Will you only see what you know?!". Which means criminal rats are inside police department as like as rat inside Vedha's gang.Both Vedha and Vikram only searching the answer in space by what they knew.At last Vikram helped vedha and vedha help to change the perspective of Vikram.And eventually, audiences are forced to choose the morality of story.
In every story, there is always a proper ending which gives a justification to that conflict, and when it comes to the frame stories it pushes audiences to give the meaning. Absolutely we hear stories from vedha as Vikram hear from him. This property belongs to its original material. It is useful for merging post-modern effects to the story. Which symbolizes the unreliable characters and conflict and making the audience to see from various POV. It is rare to see the movie with promising elements of the story. Vikram Vedha is one of it. It deserves a lot and not only for high ratings because it is more than a story.
