SKETCH is clearly a watchable action thriller. While its lead star Vikram, the plot twists and the action sequences dazzle, the romantic subplot and the not-so-great songs hinder and at times even irritate. Still, SKETCH is watchable, because the way the climax changes the entire game for the film needs to be seen. I thought I wasn't going to have a very great time finishing the movie, I was taken by surprise, by the entire climax episode. I really loved all the action scenes, Vikram's performance, and the common usage of "slow motion" during the action, apart from the entire interval sequence. I also loved how the director brought up themes of friendship into the plot but also got disappointed by the way the unwanted romantic subplot was inserted, undoubtedly, as a commercial compromise. Except the very first song, I didn't like any other much and even skipped most of them. While the first half is saved only by Vikram, the action and the interval episode, the second half, which raises expectations as we all know the basic storyline, turns the viewer down when songs start to pop out of nowhere. SKETCH deviates, and seriously without these songs and romance, it would have been an extraordinary action thriller. Some more "sketching" was needed and it would have really turned SKETCH into a masterpiece.

Sketch (played by Vikram) works as a repo-man, and excels at his job. He meets Amuthavalli (played by Tamannaah), a college student, when taking her friend's scooter and eventually falls in love with her. When she sees past the rough exterior to the kind man inside, she begins to care for him, too, despite her parents' objections. Later, to settle an old grievance for his boss, Settu (Hareesh Peradi), Sketch works out a plan to take the classic Fiat of a local gangster, "Royapuram" Kumar (played by Baburaj), an action that sets off a tragic chain of events for Sketch and his friends. The main story, that of Sketch doing his job, fighting bad guys, and caring for his friends, is entertaining and even occasionally moving. The romance part of the plot is the weak link; there is little chemistry between Tamannaah and Vikram, and though she gives a good performance in general, there is no zing in their scenes together. In the other aspects of the film, however, Vikram is fully convincing as Sketch. The songs and background music are only average, but the cinematography is nicely done and the action scenes are fun. There is a most surprising twist, and the movie is worth watching if only for that.

Good movie. Well taken. Good screen play. A different message at the end.

After the Movie "I" this is the Best Movie for Vikram.

Not a good movie. Never excepted this type of movie from Vikram and Team. Songs and BGM were also not good in the movie. 1st half in the movie did not have a bit of story. The movie starts only after Interval. The movie had a good message at the end but the movie was not so good. Tamannah not needed in the movie.

Its not vikram type movie and climax not good. Tamanna acting is good.. Vikram gave justice to his character.. But its a normal story.. No special in it.

This reminded me of an older movie Vikram back in the day, Bheema. It had a similar feel. The movie started off slow, as if there was no direction. But as the movie progressed it got more interesting and the climax was unexpected. The second half of the movie was a little more intriguing than the first half The movie was too violent for my taste. It was over-exaggerated making it feel pointless to the story line. Vikram was very good. It felt like he was given the flexibility to do his role. In contrast, Tamannaah's role was limited. Her character was unique but she barely got any screen time. It was like she was there only for a few words and the songs. The songs were nice but not really memorable. Overall, the movie was interesting but there was just so many scenes packed in that it made the movie feel slow.
