Vivegam 2017

Ajay AK Kumar, Ajith Kumar, a former CTS officer, takes on a high-stakes interception in a dense Serbian forest, where an arms deal unfolds between the General Secretary of Europol police and the head of a Russian mafia gang. He manages to snatch the weapons drive and escapes after taking down the military personnel guarding the deal. The CTS agency, convinced that AK is dead, later discovers that he is very much alive, forcing AK’s former colleagues and close allies—Michael, Rachael, Shawn and Aryan Singha—to hunt him down and bring him in.

In the past, AK had a peaceful life with his wife Yazhini, played by Kajal Agarwal, who runs a bustling Indian restaurant. That calm is shattered when a mission lands on his plate: locate Natasha, a Bulgarian hacker who cracked the security codes of plutonium weapons. The world has already endured three seismic disturbances linked to man-made plutonium explosions, and Natasha is a wanted fugitive across Interpol, the CIA, and various terrorist networks for her prodigious hacking skills. AK’s mission becomes twofold: secure Natasha and prevent two more catastrophic quakes targeting India. His path leads him to Serbia, where a local translator, Arumai Prakasam “APS” (the role is associated with Rajendran in the cast), guides his steps.

From the hospital wards to shadowy backstreets, AK uncovers clues about Natasha. He discovers she had undergone plastic surgery, a detail the Albanian underworld exploits when they capture Natasha’s boyfriend and torture him to death. The investigation takes a cruel turn when a pacemaker found on the boyfriend’s body helps AK trace Natasha to a safe house. Natasha herself grows increasingly distressed, realizing that the code she decrypted pointed to a nuclear weapon. Her guilt drives a plan to defuse the remaining weapons at a neutrino site, but tragedy strikes on the way: terrorists kill Natasha, and AK is forced into a desperate fight as Aryan, Michael, Rachael, and Shawn mount an ambush. AK survives the assault, retreating into the forest where he ultimately retrieves the weapons drive during the tense arms exchange in the Serbian wilderness.

In the present, Aryan shifts gears and hires assassins to eliminate Yazhini, but AK stands in the way, neutralizing the threat and protecting his wife. He traps Rachael and Michael in a vast subway tunnel network, executing them to prevent their access to further weaponry. The plot thickens as AK learns that Aryan and his team operate under the banner of a shadow government that manipulates global economies through wars. With Yazhini’s ingenuity, AK infiltrates the CTS headquarters and confronts Shawn, squeezing him for coordinates to the buried weapons’ location. Shawn’s demise comes via a time-bomb watch, while AK is saved by Yazhini in the nick of time.

Aryan, though a CTS officer, is revealed to be a covert agent for this shadow government, pushing AK and Yazhini into hiding and labeling AK a wanted terrorist to cripple his influence. In a bold move, AK releases a public video challenging Aryan and the CTS to protect Aryan from assassination, elevating the stakes and exposing the inner conspiracy. Aryan tightens security and forces a 24-hour standstill, but he secretly engineers an escape by silencing his guards. The battle to avert annihilation hinges on a daring plan: AK must sabotage the satellites from a power hub to stop a nuclear blast.

The drama crescendos when Aryan kidnaps Yazhini, forcing AK into a heartbreaking choice: rescue Yazhini or save countless lives by stopping the bomb. Yazhini, using Morse code, provides AK with the reveal of her location. He races to the scene, halts the plutonium weapon from detonating, and eliminates Aryan in a final act of resolve. The couple, now together with their newborn daughter Natasha, take a long drive, while a new mission note appears on the horizon for AK—an open-ended promise of further dangers and duties.

• The film threads a taut, globe-spanning conspiracy through intimate relationships, blending espionage and familial loyalty in a way that keeps the tension high from Serbia’s remote forests to the claustrophobic corridors of corporate power.

• The narrative juxtaposes AK’s disciplined, mission-first mindset with Yazhini’s resourcefulness and courage, illustrating how teamwork and trust become crucial when the line between heroism and fatal risk blurs.

• The antagonists—Aryan and his shadow-government allies—are not merely clear-cut villains but represent a systemic threat where war economies and covert governance shape the fate of nations, challenging AK to expose the truth without losing what he loves most.

• The cast performance across the board grounds the movie in a tangible emotional space: AK’s relentless drive, Yazhini’s protective instinct, Natasha’s tragic arc, and Rachael and Michael’s fall all contribute to a bleak, high-stakes worldview where every choice carries weight.

Throughout this sprawling thriller, the balance of personal stakes and geopolitical intrigue is maintained by brisk pacing, sharp action sequences, and a steady undercurrent of moral ambiguity. The climax hinges on a race against time, a calculated risk to disable a weapon, and a deeply personal victory as AK and Yazhini secure a future for their family—even as new threats loom on the horizon.
