Vedalam

Let me tell you in the beginning itself I am not a thala fan. This review is from a general audience and not from a fan. Let me begin with Ajith. Acting yes. Many said it was amateur but I am sure no one would have felt that irritating while watching it for the first time.I believe everyone knows the story by now. Screen play was a bit fast and racy. Which adds up to the pluses of the movie. Shruthi hassan made an excellent debut in 7am arivu which was indeed her best. But here I believe she herself did not feel the necessity of her character that she even did not dub for her in the second half. I mean every one can notice that. I have no clue why the team did that in the second half. But as everyone said its very cliché. I think people should stop making movies for the actor's fans. Please. Make movie for general audience. People are changing. Even the movies need to change. Make some thing new. In fact Ajith can definitely try something new. He has everything of a Hollywood actor. But I have no clue why he does the same monotonous movies. I hope he does movie for general audience and not targeting the fans alone. I hope even thalapathy also does that. Because he also needs to change his style of movies..

It is really a mass entertainment.Those who are saying there is no story,yes it'true but u will never disappoint by watching the movie.The film gives you a visual treat.Theme music rocks and it perfectly suit for thala. No human being cannot change their character by watching storyline in a movie,if it is true Kathi story depends on farmers but even now every farmer dies each n every month why can't the (hero can save a single farmer in real life).The movie is not a fantasy movie and also it is not a movie to give you a strong social message.It is just a movie to sit and watch and get relax for 2 and half hours.The Bgm really rocks.

Story is nice. Ajit acting and fight scenes are awesome. There are instances of fight scene from movie such as "The Equalizer" and "Taken" but it's ok to take inspiration. Need better films from Ajith starer. He is actually amazing actor, need good script.

Its a full entertaining film with action, comedy, sentiment and some twist. Positive vibration throughout the film. Entertainment guarantied till the end. But nothing new. Flashback scenes are like refreshing the mind. Anirudh music made the frame in fire. Perfectly made for Ajith fans. The way Thambi Ramaiah handled his character was awesome. Good break for Lakshmi Menon. Shruti Haasan and Soori character is just for time pass. And of course its commercial one, so some illogical elements are there. But it satisfied the audiences they targeted. Now its proved Siva is one of the best commercial film director in Tamil film industry. And I can say its a big blockbuster film in the year.

After Veeram, Ajith and Siva are working together in Vedalam which is a film that is tailor-made for Ajith. Vedalam depends only on Ajith. We don't have much stronger supporting actors nor antagonist to equally match Ajith's screen presence. He is the only one who makes us cry, laugh, and engage throughout the film. He has two different shades in this film which he does with perfection. His look in the flashback is a very big treat for the fans. The flashback portion is a perfect tribute to his larger than life image. It's the place where Ajith shines like a star. We have seen so many revenge films in Tamil and Vedalam is again one among them. It's a simple revenge action drama that has shades of Suresh Krishna's Baashha and several action potboilers. Siva added strong sister sentiments which work only a few places and leave us with the feeling of a Déjà vu. The lack of originality seems to hit the film really hard because there's nothing interesting to get out from this film except Ajith's brilliant performance. The only factor that lifts the film is the fan moments specially made for Ajith fans. Other than that, Vedalam has nothing else to offer to the audience. Anirudh's adrenaline rushing background score and the famous "Aaluma Doluma" song works at the needed places and even adds the celebratory feel to the film. Overall, Vedalam is strictly for Ajith fans.
