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.

Veeram! The fire is set when thala appears for the first time and requests the audience to take their seats.Ammo! who can give such a mass opening?.It was very hard to stick on to the dialogues amidst the whistles. Some scenes were boring at the start.Vinayagam feeding and assaulting the culprits,but thala has managed to balance those through his charisma. Movie takes pace thereon and it keeps us at the edge of our seats. Scenes have resemblance to other movies but the hero is the king-maker here. The action scene where the four brothers flee and finally wait at an open space makes us remember saami.We are 5 not 4-thala on a swing with Ayyanar at the backdrop.The whole house was rocking.Goosebumps! Thala handles all the action sequences with ease.Action sequences are exclusively made for thala fans.Ajith is seen with an energy-level never seen before.Thaara thappatta kizhiya pogudhu!Yep.Our ear drums were torn. The train action-sequence before the intermission was awesome.Hats off to our thala who had taken the risks without dupes. DSP rocks with his BGM.I coudn't choose anyone other than DSP for this mass number.Rocking performance. After the intermission,the film takes it way to a family genre,Thala has perfectly managed between the action and family genres. The dialogue delivery from thala was the highlight of the movie.Credits to director siva. Romantic sequences were in typical thala style.Still a romantic champ even in salt'n'pepper looks. The climax sequence was the peak.Thala fans were rejoicing when thala gets up in 'jayam' style.

Ultimate treat for Thala fans!Real 'Thala Pongal'! For those who look for a good storyline,try movies like 'onpadhu roopa nottu'

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

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" 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
