"Veeram" stands out as an all and all simple yet a good Pongal entertainer with some great moments and some style factor. The film's weak points lie in few of the moments which are draggy plus the over melodramatic quotient within few of the moments in the film. Apart from that, the editing by Kasi .V. builds up great intensity somewhere, but the slickness gets loose in some scenes too. The music score by DSP lends some good support to the film and when it comes to the film's positive points, then its the narration by the director Siva which entertains you well, then well choreographed sequences by Silva, great comedy factor and few great punchlines written by Bharathan and Bhoopathy Raja, then the characters especially Tamannah and Santhanam who are at their brilliant best and then comes Ajith Kumar who in his two different looks is at his usual best and his machismo and charisma is as great as usual, making the film worth a good outing! My rating would be: 3.5/5

It's a commercial spicy masala pongal for the Tamil cinema industry, since two big stars launch their commercial movies at the same time. Nevertheless both of them where commercial mass entertainer so clearly no space for logics. So now let's see What Thala Ajith has come up with his commercial Pongal recipe for us.

Veeram on the whole has got no big fresh story line but the same 1990's style of Tamil rural base story has been presented in a refreshing way. So obliviously the same old wine in new bottle.

Director Siva has strategically handled the standard commercial template of cinema. A racy first half filled with typical Brother Sentiment- Comedy- Heroic Action-Romance. An engaging second half with Family Sentiment- Raging Action-Romance. Plus both sides had songs equally distributed.

Coming to the star cast first our Thala Ajith as Vinayagam after his continuous urban avatars is now seen on a rural make over. Our Billa was looking equally stylish in the traditional outfit. He has done full justice to his role starting from romance sentiment comedy and fierce action sequences.

Tammanah Bhatia as Koppu has given a comeback to Tamil cinema after her average grosser Venghai in 2011.Got to say this diva has still got the oomph factor in her. She had lots of screen space to perform a character in between a traditional and modern girl but I found her flawed in main emotional and crying sequences. But that doesn't stop me saying "Man she looked ravishingly beautiful".

When romance department was handled by Tammanah the comedy department was given to Santhanam who did fairly well with his jokes but though it was engaging nothing nailed your heart as a comedy. Nassar as a big shot and a peacemaker of a village entered lately but his performance was superb of course his acting skills are legendary. So moving on to the supporting role casting it had lots of actors, some of them where seen in both big releases of Pongal. As usual the technicalities of the movie had nothing big since it's a commercial venture aimed at satisfying all class audience. So nothing special for elite movie viewers. Music was below average as far as the songs. But BGM was racy.

Verdict: Director Siva's second Tamil Venture Veeram is undoubtedly a commercial mass entertainer for the whole family and particularly a true Thala pongal for core thala fans.

NB: Viewers who strictly stick on stuff and story based movies are advised to miss this flick for sure.

Ajith is Vinayak, the affectionate elder brother of four, crossing the mountains to make it big and yes the traditional story indeed. And to make the brother bond firm and glued, he detests marriage. Enter Pichai Muniyandi aka Santhanam who takes the first half on a roller coaster ride of decent fun! You can't write this comedian off, not without utilizing his real potential! The tirade he runs through by trying to get the ruff and tuff Vinayak to fall in love along with the younger brothers is thoroughly enjoyable.

Tamannah is Kopurendevi the bubbly doll, doing justice to her character is not just the usual heroine who runs behind her Romeo for duets and Siva has utilized her thoroughly. Bringing the little cupid that's hidden in the rough and honest Vinayak is the first half, and "n" attempts later finally it happens. Never has mass action been related in such an enjoyable way with no much Punch dialogues and the best part is how neatly action has been unveiled!

Siva and Boopathy Raja's storytelling deserves an applaud for it has taken the tested rural story and decorated it with mass, action and most importantly made use of Ajith's enormous screen presence to the full potential. There are minor drawbacks like showcasing too much affection one too many times, these are very vintage sentimental trysts. The second half with sentiments and bonding is quite a lag, but on the whole it doesn't jolt you much. DSP is known to have given some excellent mass numbers in the past, however Veeram will sadly remembered only for its aggressive BGM and not the songs. The art directors and Vetri's cinematography of the beautiful village milieu is relishable! Coming to the cast, Ajith Ajith Ajith all the way! Most of the mass action movies have the heroes carrying the movie through the film, however Veeram has proved it doesn't have to be! Ajith has demystified the fact that mass does not relate to entire movie presence, but the times you appear should make you stand up and clap! His body language is adorable and the salt n pepper looks makes him look even charmer! After him, Santhanam is the key, with his one liners making you double with laughter and sticks well to the story as well. Nassar, Viddharth, the brothers do their role well enough, with Pradeep menacing as a villain should be.

On the whole a complete family entertainer, finish your Pongal rituals and rush to Veeram! You ain't gonna regret it!

Veeram is out and out commercial entertainer ,perfectly blended and presented for Ajith fans and general audience.Story doesn't carry much value in this movie.It's just a brawl between good and evil.But the way they have presented this film holds your attention till the end. Ajith looks refreshing and new in the south Indian costume.His charisma and screen presence steals the show.There are certain moments in the movie where fans would go absolutely aw-struck by Ajith's performance.Others have done their part pretty well. Coming to composing,DSP has done a fair job with the BGM .However he fails to impress with the songs. As an audience you would be satisfied after watching this movie.
