Velayudham – 7/10 – Velayudham certainly halts the continuous falling streak of Vijay in recent years and announces a big comeback for the actor. With a premise adapted from a telugu film, 'Azad', Jeyam Raja (who is famous for adapting successful films to Tamil) have once again proved his forte in it with an entertaining fare, Velayudham. Velayudham is not an experimental film with pretentious plot but first of all it also did not promise to offer one. It contains a story which is tested many times but what makes it sparkle, is the way it is being presented. Vijay delivers a well-balanced performance after a long time and walks away with applause in every frame as he enhances them with amazing amount of energy and freshness.

Despite taking a commercial route, Raja did not deviate too much from logic and tries to inject fair amount of intelligence too and of course a thoughtful message at the end. Most importantly unlike previous ventures of Vijay, Valyudham does not over exaggerate too much in the name of glorifying, at any parts. He shows maturity having able to handle a sensitive subject and direct scenes with almost 50 experienced artistes in once scene. No doubt it is a big step for him to step into the leagues of biggies of Koolywood.

Performance wise, all of them do their role well and stands just behind Vijay is Genilia with a matured makeover and in the other end Haniska over emotes at many instances.

Technically the film is quite competent. Priyan's cinematography needs a special mention which enhances the Super Hero theme very well. Vijay Anthony's tune might not be so innovative but satisfies the audiences especially Vijay's fans. Out of all, 'Chillax' stands out the most while 'Mayam Seidayo' is a visual treat.

In Overall, Velayudham is not a landmark film in Kollywood but has all the ingredients to entertain the audience which is what expected from Vijay.

Velayudham is a definitely a good try by Raja. Way Raja has transformed Vijay from a Milk man to a super hero trying to protect people is really done well. Raja could have tried to give a better definition for the Villains.

Vijay's usual formula: "People coming to watch a movie should just enjoy the 2.5 hours without thinking too much. Come.... Watch... Enjoy and Go.... No Brain teasers", worked very well for him.... This movie has also done its part.... Already producer Ravichandran has confirmed movie is a smash hit all over the world.

Vijay's performance was really good in the movie. Vijay continue entertaining the fans like you do always. Waiting to watch your upcoming movies Nanban and one with ARM. Velayudham is a movie worth watching.

Velayudham-Ilayathalapathi's Commercial Comback

Earlier this Year Vijai had a silent commercial success through the movie Kaavalan after crossing all hurdles released during Pongal. Twist in the Tale i would rather call, since it was derived from a diff genre from his usual commercial flicks so called mas ala and released a day later after all official day of release due to high political pressure Ya this Diwali every one was expecting a commercial entertainer like Gilli,Pokkiri for all class including family audiences Yes its true Ilayathalapathi's Commercial Comback is through Velayudham and the movie thoroughly satisfied me and it will be liked by all types of audience and of all class A & B & C in forthcoming week. Vijai with his HUGE fan following as seen in Banglore and Kochi and around the globe gonna convert this movie from a hit to BB for sure. In addition the negative response from the fellow contenders movie 7 AM ARIVU,RA-ONE in this deepavali gonna boost it further :) :). First half is racy and has humor bended in all terms and moves along with the story i would say.In fact the first commercial movie which has a logical ending to Sandhanam's Role Bajanlal sett Hats off to Screen Play-Raja, Music-Antony and Camera- Priyan for their technical hard work and Comedy Sandhanam and Porotta ]. Above all Vijai scores on all scenes -Humor,Stunt,Sentiment,Dance and Final climax .Post Interval scenes are of action stunts,Sentiment and an happy ending with a social message In my opinion ANY movie is intended for entertainment and am sure Velayudham does it in STYLE !!!! PS: I watched twice 7 AM arrive and even Twice Velayudham, and am going to vela for the third time for its comical first half.

Vijay is back to what he does best; mass entertainers, and what better time to unveil a mass entertainer than Diwali. With the music already a rage, the excitement was palpable as fans headed in droves to theatres on the festival of lights.

Raja has done a fine job of mixing all the elements that go towards making a mass hero film, though he has lost the balance a bit in the last hour. His adeptness at placing comedy, romance, sentiment and the mandatory 5 songs into a script that has an alter-ego(istic) superhero should be commended. Nothing looks out of place, as we enjoy Santhanam's wisecracks, Vijay's dances and the brother-sister sequences. It is a while since we have seen Vijay excel in an emotionally heavy scene, Raja gets it out of the actor, in Velayudham. Also, placing 5 songs in a movie with none of them sticking out like a sore thumb is quite an achievement; though we should say that Vijay's presence is a major factor in ensuring this.

Everyone in front of the camera has done a fine job. Vijay is sprightly, energetic and every bit the way we love to see him. He has experimented a bit with his look in the songs and they have come out well. Hansika is there in many scenes, but for most parts is a silent spectator, being called upon once in a while, mostly for glamour. She does not look out of place as a village girl, but the makers' claim that she would remind us of Khushboo is an overstatement. Genelia gets quite a significant part and looks convincing. A laugh is guaranteed every time Santhanam is on screen. Saranya Mohan too deserves a round of applause for being good enough to make the audience feel the depth of the siblings' bond.

A racy entertainer this Deepavali season. A right choice for the festival mood. Enjoy with Your Family !!!!
