"I" is a 2015 Indian Tamil-language romantic thriller film directed by Shankar and produced by V. Ravichandran. The movie features Vikram, Amy Jackson, and Suresh Gopi in leading roles, with Upen Patel, Santhanam, and Ramkumar Ganesan appearing in supporting roles. The movie revolves around a talented bodybuilder named Lingesan (Vikram) who dreams of becoming a successful model. He adores a popular supermodel Diya (Amy Jackson) and ends up falling in love with her. Lingesan's life changes when he wins a local bodybuilding competition and is offered a modeling contract by Diya's friend, John (Upen Patel).
Lingesan changes his name to Lee and moves to the city where he starts a modeling career. He becomes popular and soon becomes the face of a leading brand. However, his dreams and aspirations come to a halt when a mysterious virus attacks him and disfigures his face.
With the disfigurement, Lingesan's life takes an unexpected turn, and he decides to take revenge on those who caused him pain. He transforms himself into a hunchback, using prosthetics and makeup to achieve his new look.
In his quest for revenge, Lingesan uses his modeling skills to get close to the people who wronged him. He becomes involved with Jo (Amy Jackson in a dual role), who suddenly gains immense popularity in the modeling world. Jo bears a striking resemblance to Diya and is sought after by John, who gets her involved in his plans to sabotage Lingesan's modeling career.
As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Lingesan's pursuit of revenge is not only against those who hurt him but also against the entire modeling industry, which he regards as corrupt and superficial. His mission becomes a war against the exploitation of models, which he believes has caused harm and destruction to many aspiring models.
The screenplay of "I" is outstanding, and the performances of the cast are exceptional, especially that of Vikram, who gives his best performance to date. His portrayal of the hunchbacked Lingesan is chilling and heartwarming at the same time, making the audience root for him throughout the movie.
Amy Jackson also delivers an excellent performance, depicting the two different personalities of Diya and Jo, which are so contrasting that the audience never gets confused. The direction by Shankar is top-notch, and his vision to create a cinematic spectacle is visible in every frame.
The music of the movie, composed by A. R. Rahman, is powerful, and the songs are catchy, making the audience sing along. The visual effects used in the movie, especially for the transformation of Lingesan and the bodybuilding competitions, are spectacular and give a realistic touch to the movie.
Overall, "I" is an exciting and engaging movie that blends revenge, romance, and social issues beautifully. It showcases the power of determination and hard work and emphasizes the importance of body positivity and self-love. The movie's message is loud and clear, and the audience will find themselves cheering for the underdog until the very end.
