Vedaa

Living in an Independent India, not being able to understand how certain castes live, this movie is an eye opener and, a true form of art executed by John Abraham and the team. I thank the entire team on working on such a brilliant Indian movie after ages.

Vedha is a cinematic triumph that captivates with its intense storytelling, stunning visuals, and powerful performances. Set against a rich cultural backdrop, the film explores deep themes of love, loss, and redemption. The screenplay is tight, keeping the audience engaged from start to finish, and the pacing ensures that there's never a dull moment.

The lead actor delivers a stellar performance, bringing emotional depth to the character of Vedha. The supporting cast also shines, adding layers of complexity to the narrative. The film's direction is masterful, with each scene meticulously crafted to evoke the right emotions. The cinematography is breathtaking, capturing the beauty of the film's setting and enhancing the overall experience.

The music score complements the film perfectly, resonating with the tone and elevating key moments. The film also excels in its technical aspects, with impressive production design, costume design, and visual effects that immerse the viewer in the world of Vedha.

Vedha is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates quality cinema. It's a film that will stay with you long after the credits roll, leaving you with plenty to ponder and appreciate. Highly recommended!

John Abraham is massively underrated! The movie is really good. It's always pleasant to see good action movies made in India and Vedaa (2024) is one of them.

The film has a good blend of different genres... Mainly and namely Drama, Thriller and ofcourse Action! The story too is on an important topic which though many of us in the city may not be able to relate to completely but I won't be surprised if it still is very much a reality in certain parts of our land and those who have suffered from it will appreciate this movie even more.

Though at times the plot can seem predictable, the movie is never boring and the entire team led by John Abraham as the lead hold the attention of the audience very well.

I was disappointed that there weren't more people in the theatre to watch this movie. Such films need to be promoted. The Indian film industry has a lot of potential and until good content is appreciated and most importantly correctly, our industry won't be able to grow well.

Regarding John Abraham I also watched another movie of his about two years ago in which he is a super soldier and I liked that too. John is easily atleast one of the best Action Stars not only in Bollywood but pan India. It's surprising to know that such a star didn't even intend to become an actor growing up. Anyway good for him and us too because he has been a part of many good projects.

To conclude I wish the entire team of Vedaa all the best and I hope that along with being a critical success the movie is also a box office hit so that producers in India won't shy away from making good movies no matter who the star is. Once again I'll state that this movie was REALLY GOOD and you need to watch it especially if love Drama/ Action films, because if you don't then you will definitely regret not watching this good an Indian movie in a theatre.

Vedaa (2024) is directed by Nikkhil Advani, written by Aseem Arora, stars mainly John Abraham, Sharvari, Tamannaah Bhatia, Kshitij Chauhan, Abhishek Banerjee and was released on the 78th Independence Day of our country India i.e. 15th August, 2024.

This movie had a great start and actually has you engaged up until the intermission. After that point it just seems like either the director changed or was totally confused and lost. The last 20-30 minutes were not needed and a waste of time. The message was clear and had good meaning but executed badly after the intermission.

Acting is decent by Sharavari and okay by the villain. John was good as he did justice to the role and action sequences. Too many songs, although I liked the Holi one, they were not needed. If the movie continued into with the 2nd half as it did in the first I would've given this a 9 star.

The movie sets out with the intention of being a serious drama, aiming to shed light on issues of class inequality and the struggle to protect the innocent from oppression. It has all the elements of a compelling story that could provoke thought and stir emotions. However, the execution veers drastically off course, transforming what should have been a powerful narrative into an unintended parody.

From the very beginning, the film's dialogue and direction betray its dramatic intentions. The focus quickly shifts to showcasing the hero as an almost cartoonish figure, capable of dodging hundreds of bullets with ease. This portrayal not only strains credibility but also trivializes the very issues the movie is supposed to highlight. Instead of a tense, realistic exploration of social injustice, we are presented with a protagonist who seems invincible to the point of absurdity.

As a result, the film's initial promise is lost, and what could have been a meaningful commentary on class struggles turns into a spectacle of exaggerated heroics. The serious themes are overshadowed by the outlandish action sequences, and the film ultimately fails to resonate on the emotional or intellectual levels it aspired to. In the end, it's hard to take the movie seriously, as it devolves from a potentially impactful drama into something more akin to a farcical action flick.

Few scenes seemed borrowed from Sairat. The script obviously doesn't seem which took 6 years to write (Nikkhil Advani & Aseem Arora).

The Idea of the plot was to show the state of places were Illegal Heads and untouchability was still followed.

The Direction lacked at some points, the action and fight direction were not forced but could have been better.

The fight scene after the unnecessary item song gave audience a boost to the seemingly dormant protagonist, although negligent of the evidence.

Abhishek Banerjee's performance for the negative role was commendable enough.

Sharvari also did good job.

John maintained his monotonous appearance throughout the film.
