“Bison Kaalamaadan” is already roaring across theatres, and it feels like half of Tamil Nadu is talking about it. Directed by Mari Selvaraj, this one’s a punchy, gut-level story about caste, sport, and survival with Dhruv Vikram leading the charge in what fans are calling his career-defining role.
The Buzz Before the Whistle
From the first show onwards, X (formerly Twitter) was flooded with reactions. Fans walked out teary-eyed, fists pumped, and phones out ready to talk about how Bison isn’t just another sports drama but a mirror held up to society. As Tha Cinema put it, “Mari Selvaraj once again speaks loud and clear about inequality and politics this time through the lens of sports. Dhruv Vikram delivers a powerful performance.”
What the Fans Are Saying
One viewer, Star Talkies, nailed it in their post: “#BisonKaalamaadan Review — An Excellent Piece of Work by @mari_selvaraj. He’s clearly eliminated the mistakes from his previous films. Every character hits right, and Dhruv Vikram? Flawless performance. Anupama Parameswaran in a never-before-seen role. The film’s pacing and writing are top-notch. Rating: 3.5/5.”
The Cinema tweeted straight from the theatre: “Bison First Half Review — Dhruv Vikram nails it with a powerful performance! Mari Selvaraj’s signature storytelling blends sports, caste, and politics beautifully. A gripping, emotional, and impactful first half!”
And fans couldn’t get enough. Suresh_00S wrote: “#Bison Review — @mari_selvaraj strikes again with a story that hits deep. Power, politics & passion collide on the field. #DhruvVikram’s performance is fire throughout. One of the most impactful films of the year!”
The Roar on Social Media
Film critic Haricharan Pudipeddi chimed in too, giving it 3.75 stars: “Mari Selvaraj’s most accessible film yet. A sports drama that strongly discusses caste politics and uprising. Dhruv truly comes of age here, but for me, Pasupathy stole the show.”
cinemapluz11 captured another layer: “Many Tamil films revolve around caste and sport, but #Bison stands apart. It reminds us that humanity and compassion can transcend caste and religion. Dhruv Vikram delivers a powerful performance that cements his place in Tamil cinema.”
And elsewhere on X, KollyUpdates called it “One of the most impactful films of the year” and went on to list the standout crew: “#Bison (3.5/5): Hard-Hitting Sports Drama. #DhruvVikram top-class performance lifetime role. @nivaskprasanna’s music is brilliant, @anupamahere shines, and #Pasupathy legend as always. Another win for @mari_selvaraj.”
YouTube Reactions: The Energy Continues
Over on YouTube, it’s the same euphoria. In channels, the comment sections are packed with fans calling Bison “a storm you’ll feel” and “worth every rupee.” Someone shouted over the noise of the crowd in one viral review clip: “Violence? Yes. Emotion? Double yes. Mari Selvaraj didn’t make a movie; he made a statement!”
The Bigger Picture
Between the whistles of kabaddi and the simmering anger of the oppressed, Bison Kaalamaadan balances grit and grace. Dhruv’s transformation is the talking point from silent fury to tear-streaked humanity; he brings Mari Selvaraj’s world alive with raw energy. Sure, a few viewers found parts of it a bit long, but as one fan on X said, “When Bison hits, it hits hard.” By the look of it, this isn’t just another film weekend, it’s an awakening. And for Dhruv Vikram, that ‘bison’ on his chest might just become the symbol of his biggest win yet.
