Performances
Vijay is an extraordinarily powerful and emotionally grounded person, in the dual personalities of Bigil and Rayappan. As the younger Michael, he introduces vigor, passion, and leadership and inspires characters and the audience. Vijay as Rayappan develops a more human, less strong character that adds emotional tones to the narrative. The fact that he is versatile contributes to the film even more.
Nayanthara introduces beauty and some form of maturity as Angel which introduces some elegance and impact to the story.

The supporting characters, Kathir, Yogi Babu and Vivek play a significant role in the film and bring emotional aspects to it. The large ensemble makes the plot colorful and vibrant.
Direction and Screenplay
Director Atlee challenges Bigil in a sort of mass filmmaking and social consciousness. He is empowering but at the same time does not lose the star power of Vijay. Atlee balances the dramatic and emotional scenes with the slick action that ensures the film is popular with the sports and commercial movie viewers. The movie is more effective because he is able to cope with ensemble narratives.
The screen play is a combination of drama, humor, sportsmanship and action in a well laid out style. This is offered with each character, especially the women footballers, with a considerable personal plot. The dialogues are structured in a way that they inspire and address social problems and aid the emotional appeal. The text ensures that the movie is not a boring one and it lacks depth.
Music and Background Score
Bigil is upgraded to a new level by A. R. Rahman music with energetic tunes and soulful melodies. These songs like Singappenney and Verithanam were culture anthems that helped in the concepts of empowerment and celebration. The musical accompaniment is in sync with emotional and action-oriented scenes of the film. The music by Rahman is majestic in character and it is emotional.
Background music enhances crucial scenes in sports, scenes of training and dramatic revelations. The music by Rahman is a perfect accompaniment of the emotional impact of the two characters particularly as far as climactic matches are concerned. Light musical cues are used at times of hopelessness and confusion. As a rule, music is a good storytelling tool that increases the emotional appeal of the film.
