Vikram Vedha is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language neo-noir action thriller film written and directed by Pushkar–Gayathri and jointly produced by YNOT Studios, Friday Filmworks, Reliance Entertainment, T-Series Films and Jio Studios. A remake of the duo's 2017 Tamil film of the same name, it is inspired by the Indian folktale Baital Pachisi and stars Saif Ali Khan and Hrithik Roshan as the titular anti-heroes. While Radhika Apte, Rohit Saraf and Yogita Bihani play supporting roles.
The film tells the story of Vikram (Khan), a tough police officer who is tasked with tracking down and killing Vedha (Roshan), a dreaded gangster. However, Vikram's world is turned upside down when Vedha surrenders to him and tells him three stories, each of which challenges his black-and-white view of the world. As Vikram delves deeper into Vedha's world, he begins to question his own morality and the line between good and evil.
Vikram Vedha is a complex and morally ambiguous film that explores the themes of good and evil, justice and revenge, and the nature of truth. It is a well-crafted and suspenseful thriller with strong performances from the lead actors.
The film has been praised for its screenplay, direction, acting, and cinematography. It has also been credited with popularizing the neo-noir genre in Indian cinema.
