Veeram by Shiva (Review)



Story:A village based story of 5 brothers. It's a masala movie with enough comedy,action,romance and drama. It has the common telegu movie influence with "expected unexpected" twists. There are contradiction between first half of the movie and second half. A very simple story yet a very usual story of family love based theme. Again to many telegu cliche in this movie.

Cast: Thala Ajith Kumar played Vinayagam, the big brother. He used a different accent in the first half of the movie. He really did great in terms of dialogue deliverance using that accent. Other than that it's usual Thala slow-mo and theme music. Maybe it's good to see thala back in dhothi but major mess up makeover in song sequences. Vidhart of myna fame, Bala of Kathal kisu kisu, Munish and Suhail Chandhok played the 4 brothers. They were the entertainment part. They handled major part of the comedy together with santhanam. Tamanah played Kopurendevi, as Vinayagam's pair. She over acted in this movie as usual. But she was the turning point for the movie. Abhinaya (Eesan) and Suza Kumar played the brothers pair. Pradeep Rawat was the villain in first half while Atul Kulkarni took over the second half. Just some village aruva villains with vengeance. The supporting characters done by Ramesh Khana, Devadharshini, Vidyulekha Raman, Nassar, Appukutty, Thambhi Ramaiyah and many others.

Screenplay: I think there were too many slow motions, I don't know it's just to show the "mass" effect of Ajith or what. but having it too frequent was a drawback. The comedy sequences was good. It was all four 4 brothers with santhanam and their :Looty". Thambhi Ramaiyah joined in second half of the "looty". The song sequences were a major drawback for the movie. It was not attractive at all. Some good moral value instilled in this movie. Cinematography was not that good. The shades were like film roll. The fight scenes are crap of course. Even the movie was kind of draggy.

Music: Songs composed by Devi Sri Prasad. The songs were crap but the the Veeram theme did gave Ajith's entrance goosebumps.

Plus Point: Good cast, good comedy, good family value

Minus Point: bad stunts, bad song sequence, usual telegu movie story, bad cinematography, draggy.

Verdict: You can watch it once in cinema for the comedy.
