#CobraReview: Thi@ @chiyaan Vikram film is high on performance, music and indepth writing from @AjayGnanamuthu. A movie made on high production value by @7screenstudio. #ChiyaanVikram has the ability to shoulder a script of any weightage#CobraFromToday #DTNext @dt_next

#Cobra – Intelligent thriller, lengthy action drama, #Anandraj and #Vikram investigation scene different attempt. Songs no powerfull. No Clear story and Ave screenplay.
Watch it for only #ChiyaanVikram 👍👍
Verdict : #Vikram‘s double man show.
Rating : 2.75/5

#cobra – brilliant assassination scenes, a great character writing for Vikram letdown by unwanted romance scenes. Irfan Pathan scores as an actor but all the three heroines tested the patience. A 30 minutes trim would make the product fast paced. Mixed feeling.

A good concept wasted!! Apart from #Vikram nothing’s impressive. Sloppy writting and unwanted scenes make it worse.#Cobra pic.twitter.com/lMooz0airN

From the first-hand reviews coming in from fans, it is clear that whether Cobra on a whole impresses or not, Vikram has certainly made a strong impact on the audience with his acting prowess and his 20 different avatars in the film.
Directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu, Cobra is an action thriller and has music by AR Rahman with cinematography handled by Harish Kannan. Produced by S. S. Lalit Kumar, under the banner 7 Screen Studio, Cobra also marks the cinematic debut of former cricketer Irfan Pathan.
