Finally the wait is over! Vikram and Shankar's I have stormed the screens worldwide on Wednesday.
Opening on a positive note, many have praised Vikram for his dedicated performance, while some have pointed out the dull moments where screenplay tugs along for stretch of 189 minutes.
Have a look at the tweets of the film's crew. While Vikram, after 3 years of hardwork, went ahead to watch the movie at Kasi theatre, Amy Jackson too saw the movie on its very first show.
3 years of hard work is getting all the rewards.. #Iman #Chiyaan flashing the Victory sign at #Kasi this morning.. pic.twitter.com/uFU0ctVMzR

Story-wise, #I is Shankar's weakest in the last decade. Hard to imagine the film's potential without #Vikram. http://t.co/mtA9WcPicW

Vikram's brilliant performance in three forms and excellence in action blocks are the major highlights of the movie, think some of the movie buffs who took to twitter to praise the actor.
#I interval - Impressed. Visually stunning, kind of non-linear screenplay. Very intersting. Love cum thriller so far. #Imovie

P. C. Sreeram’s cinematography portraying exquisite visuals of unseen locales in a fabulous way was also well appreciated on the microblogging site.
I am really sad that such a class film should be trimmed around 2 hrs 30 minutes .....interval on its way ..till now its a feast #I

The Twitteratie verdict: 'I' is visually brilliant but on par in terms of story and screenplay.
The Hindi version of the film will reportedly be releasing on 16 January with select paid premiere shows on 15 January.
