There needs no introduction while talking about the most notorious person ever seen by India, Veerappan, he had vanished or killed from here around 17 years back. Lots of articles, documentaries, and even films come out publicly depicting the biography of Veerappan. There also comes a book written by the Chief of Special Task Force, K Vijayakumar who was the mastermind behind the killing of Veerappan named Veerappan: Chasing the Brigand. Here we are talking about a film, which is also about the last moments of Veerappan, that directed by the veteran Ram Gopal Varma. Like Veerappan, the name Ram Gopal Varma is so famous not in the way how Veerappan was known and he was a genius in Film Industry. He made wonderful movies and created a space in the mind of film lovers. Veerappan is his 2016 product and this film is not at all flavored with the actual Ram Gopal Varma essence. This is an 'okay' film that has ups and downs. The movie is about the movement of the police to capture Veerappan. Poor Script is the main thing I want to point here because there is a rush in the making while the incidents are going on. The director has that kind of a mind to restrict the film within 2 hours, and I feel so. The misplaced use of background scores feels inappropriate and the performance from some of the actors feels awkward. Especially the character of Shreya which was done by Lisa Ray is not fit in that role. The director or even the writers can't add anything freshness to the story because we all know the story very well. The task for them is to engage us the but unfortunately, they are failed to do so. There is also a docu-fiction named Killing Veerappan and that was also directed by Ram Gopal Varma which is not at all like Veerappan, the film. Anyway, the film is so short and only focused on the ending of Veerappan's killing.
