Veeram

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.

The movie is simple for family audience,till first half movie is for fans alone, then story changed to be family subject Veeram is awesome Alongside Ajith, it was noted that four young actors would appear as his brothers in the venture. Vidharth, who rose to fame with his role in Mynaa, was signed on for the film after discussions with Prasanna was unsuccessful.[4] Suhail Chandhok, brother of former Formula One racer Karun Chandhok.

The film's soundtrack was composed by Devi Sri Prasad, scoring for an Ajith Kumar for the first time. The music rights were bagged by Junglee Music

It's really different film in Ajith's career where he shows massy difference from classy looks he delivered in his previous films. It should be appreciated that he's the only actor in India who's doing stunts without any dupe in his movies. This dedication gives him success when he's doing right movies with right team. And hatsoff to the Siva&Team that even though story is not new to tamil, screenplay and ajith's screen presence should be give applause. DSP has done good job in BGM and theme song. Tamanna added beauty and santhanam asusual delivered good comedies. As, Arrambam is simple... Veeram is Mass family entertainer...

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.

Well! This is what I have been waiting for. The movie that has everything that you can expect. action, comedy, sentiment. Ajith has given his best as usual. what;s not usual here is the fact that the story is of rural backdrop. Wat more can you expect from Mr.Ajith Kumar? He is a man of words. In the recent times it has become a trend of what he does on screen. Right from the beginning he carries the charisma. wow! the action scenes are must to be spoken about.. I have forgot the name of the stunt director. He has done a cameo too. Santhanam is in full form. Ajith has come out with his back to back blockbuster times.. He is unstoppable.
