APARICHITHUDU

 NO one can escape from APARICHITHUDUIt is difficult to quibble over  Aparichithudu, a film whose scale has never been attempted before in Indian films. It is a wide-canvas dream thought up by Shankar's sense of grandeur. It is a dream that is almost made a reality by the astounding histrionics of Vikram who comes up with a cracker of a performance in three different roles. Obviously, Vikram's make-up and the thirst for being different will evoke comparisons with Kamal, the point is both are jewels in the neck of Indian filmdom.
