Velaikkaran

Amazing movie. This is one of the best movie of Sivakarthikeyan. The movie has a good message and a good story. Songs and BGM were excellent in the movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie but Robo Shankar can be used more. The movie was so interesting in the 1st half but as there was many talk portions in the 2nd half the movie slightly lagged but at climax the movie was excellent.

Director Mohan Raja has come up with another massive product after Thani Oruvan. From this film it is more than evident that Sivakarthikeyan has evolved into a better actor. There are too many good characters, thus reducing the screen-space of each actor that seem to be disabling the audiences to connect with those characters. Fahadh Faasil has done a fantabulous job but lies low as compared to Arvind Swami in Thani Oruvan. Velaikkaran lacks the cat & mouse game between the hero and the villain and focuses fully on social messages and facts. It is indeed stunning that the facts told can be easily related with our daily lives, and it sure changes our view towards malls and supermarkets. Nayanthara's role too wasn't as expected but it didn't turn out to be an obstacle for the movement of the story. Anirudh's bgms has been the backbone in elevating the impact of the scenes, and the songs to are fixed wherever it is necessary and not to drag time. In a typical Sivakarthikeyan movie, we expect comedy, fun, dance, romance etc., but for those who expected these things are sure to get disappointed and to enjoy the film, they must realise that it is a Mohan Raja film. The facts and cause steals the show, and has managed to involve the audiences. It has also left a huge impact on the audience and sure to become aware of the food adulteration that has been prevailing in our nation for decades. It is a more than one-time watchable film, and undoubtedly it deserves an 8/10 and probably one of best films of the year.

If Thani Oruvan saw director Mohan "Remake" Raja reinvent himself as a fine director of a remake-worthy original feature, his sophomore attempt in this quest cements the credentials he had earned with his previous venture.

Make no mistake. Despite getting packaged as an entertainer, Velaikaaran is a message movie that tends to get preachy. Yet, if it works for the most part, it is because of some smart writing and directing that sincerely attempts to raise the bar for the mundane masala flicks that are dumped on us on a weekly basis.

Sivakarthikeyan fits the role like a glove with a convincing performance (perhaps, his best work yet) and this film should see him hit a new high in his rapidly soaring career graph. Rest of the ensemble cast including the excellent Fahad Fazil making his debut in Tamil (excellent diction), Nayantara, Sneha, Prakash Raj, Rohini, Charlie, RJ Balaji and others acquit themselves competently in their cameos.

While it has its share of flaws including certain formulaic cliches, lectures and some flab in running time, the movie has its heart in the right place and tells a story with sincerity that strikes a chord with the viewers without succumbing to too many compromises or cheap thrills.

THE MOVIE WAS INSPIRED FROM FEW DOCUMENTARIES , N THE ORIGINAL CUT IS 4 hours ! we got to see 2 hours n 30 mins hardly !This message oriented movie will engage n connect u , throughout , however some how lacks the punch in the end :) 7/10 music:8/10 choreo:8/10 acting:7/10 directing:9/10

Apart from the impeccable performance by Fahadh Faasil as the antagonist,nothing in this film is smooth or subtle. The character transforms from newbie to the highest moral authority in just a snap. It tries too hard to deliver its message and ends up not giving an emotional impact of any kind.
