Velayudham

A wonderful experience with this movie.A great Action,Comedy,Romance,Fantasy,Family entertainer.Again a mass hit from our'Thalapathy Vijay'.A coincidence leads vijay to do good in this film.Action scenes were awful.Comedies were good.Dance steps were good. Raja done his best in this movie plot.All will enjoy this movie.Please watch this movie in cinemas.A movie with joy,sentiment,action,etc.. We can watch this movie twice and thrice.A wondderful movie from Vijay.This will be a mass,mass,mass hit from vijay.A great hit after Kaavalan.My wishes to my Thalapathy Vijay for his forth coming movies.I wish him to give a very successful upcoming movies .

saw the movie first show at AGS-chennai at 6.15 am..vi jay has proved his metal again..after the huge success of kaavalan...thalapathy has given yet another mass entertainer..first half was a roller coaster ride with vi jay-santhanam&co combo scenes..the story moves very fast showing the relationship between saranaya(sister) and vi jay.thanks to Vijay's own incredible comic sense. After a long while, you see not the star Vijay, but a genuinely affectionate brother who wants to get his sister married well. His antics, together with those of Speedu (Santhanam) set the audiences rolling right away. It's this Vijay that you've missed, for so long.second half shows how vi jay turns in to super hero VELAYUDHAM to save people.stunts has shaped up pretty decently.vi jay has did some homework for fight seqs which can be witnessed from the stunts.pass mark to screenplay because all the scenes follows the order with logics behind it.special mention about a particular scene post intermission when saranya dies,vi jay has performed extremely well and gets applause from the audience as well.coming to the climax which is very different from other vi jay movies says a social message to the people which has been done beautifully by vi jay.on casts genelia has not given her 100% and hansika has done her part well with her bubbly appearance.On the whole,people who still doubt whether vi jay can give mass entertainer onddate in his own style,here is the answer in form of VELAYUDHAM which had everything to be declared as MASS HIT!!!!

Velayudham – 7/10 – Velayudham certainly halts the continuous falling streak of Vijay in recent years and announces a big comeback for the actor. With a premise adapted from a telugu film, 'Azad', Jeyam Raja (who is famous for adapting successful films to Tamil) have once again proved his forte in it with an entertaining fare, Velayudham. Velayudham is not an experimental film with pretentious plot but first of all it also did not promise to offer one. It contains a story which is tested many times but what makes it sparkle, is the way it is being presented. Vijay delivers a well-balanced performance after a long time and walks away with applause in every frame as he enhances them with amazing amount of energy and freshness.

Despite taking a commercial route, Raja did not deviate too much from logic and tries to inject fair amount of intelligence too and of course a thoughtful message at the end. Most importantly unlike previous ventures of Vijay, Valyudham does not over exaggerate too much in the name of glorifying, at any parts. He shows maturity having able to handle a sensitive subject and direct scenes with almost 50 experienced artistes in once scene. No doubt it is a big step for him to step into the leagues of biggies of Koolywood.

Performance wise, all of them do their role well and stands just behind Vijay is Genilia with a matured makeover and in the other end Haniska over emotes at many instances.

Technically the film is quite competent. Priyan's cinematography needs a special mention which enhances the Super Hero theme very well. Vijay Anthony's tune might not be so innovative but satisfies the audiences especially Vijay's fans. Out of all, 'Chillax' stands out the most while 'Mayam Seidayo' is a visual treat.

In Overall, Velayudham is not a landmark film in Kollywood but has all the ingredients to entertain the audience which is what expected from Vijay.

First of all I want to say that velayudham is not only for Vijay Fans to watch.Its a good family entertainer.Direct M.Raja always good at directing movies with huge star cast .yet again he as done it in "Velayudham"

The cast includes "Vijay" ,Hanshika,Genilia,Santhanam,Shayaji shinde.....the list goes on.The movie is a great ride for those who like the humor.Having Santhanam leading the troop there are totally 30 comedy actors who shared screen space with him.

Story: The crux of the story revolves around Bharathi(Genelia),is a genuine reporter who want to the baddies to be punished.In the process she creates a fictional character(Super Hero) named "Velayudham".In the Village ,Velayudham(Vijay) and her sister Kavery(Saranya Mohan) makes chaos in the Villages by playing pranks on the people.

Later Vijay comes to chennai to collect the money which he invested in chit fund for her sister's Marriage.Vijay unknowingly saves people from danger and people think it is the fictional character(Velayudham) who does it.At a later point of time Genailia explains Vijay about the fictional character "Velayudham" and how people are trusting him as superhero.She also request him to continue beating the baddies.

Did Vijay accept it?.Did Velayudham punishes all the baddies ..forms the rest of the story.

Performances:

Vijay has done a phenomenal job.This is what he is so good at..entertaining people.Let it be his dance or comical sequences with santhanam.he has simply rocked in all the departments.

Genelia has done a fair job considering her space in the movie.

Its difficult to believe Hanshika as village girl but she has tried her hand in the comedy which has come out good.

Santhanam has an unsuccessful thief ,tickles the ribs in every scene.His combination with Vijay works out pretty well

Even though the film as a huge Star cast ..Raja has brought the best out of every body in the silver screen.

Music: Songs are the huge plus for Velayudham.all the songs were chart busters even before the release of the movie.Chilax being the mass hit of the all.All the songs were refreshing and different.Re-Recording and music takes velayudham to the next level.

Screen Play: The movie has a good screenplay but it had have been even more racy if some action sequences got trimmed.The Train stunt sequence was excellent.At the end of the sequence it gives the feeling the movie got over but the movie still continues after it.Mind you its run time is 3 hour 20 minutes if I am not wrong.but the clever thing about the director is to bring back santhanam for the village sequence so the audience never felt bored.Raja managed to keep the audience through out.Another good thing about the movie is not revealing the true identity of Velayudham even at end of the movie

Dialogues: Dialogues by Subha is one of the pluses for the Velayudham. all the dialogues were short and meaningful.The lengthier one should be the one in Climax where he speaks to the public.Considering the message the length seems a valid one.

Conclusion: Logic is something you have to forget while u watching commercial movie.Velayudham is no exception but Raja packaged it very neatly with a good presentation thus making it a enjoyable movie.Overall a great family entertainer and right movie for the festive mood

This time Vijay is back with his usual formula.....Did it get succeeded.....Vijay fans can lift their collar and say that this movie is another Gilli for Vijay.......Raja has made the screenplay in such a way that engages u for the whole 3 hrs (total run time of this movie). Vijay's screen presence is electrifying. Both the heroines used properly.Perfect placement of the songs.Santhanam is a scream...Saranya Mohan justifies her role..Ms. Bhaskar , Swaminathan, Suri, black Pandy lives up to their role. Genelia has very powerful role and whereas Hansika scores with her comic timings..chemistry between Hansu an Vijay has come out very well. Another Important part of the movie is its action part.....they were mind blowing...train sequence is the best example.....stunt Silva did a great job...Priyan, really did a very good job wit his camera..which revolves around the characters in 1st half and Perfectly blending with action seqs in the 2nd half. Vijay's performance is superb...he romances very well, does comedy, dances, fights , emotes well(especially in a twist that will happen in 2nd half). hummable songs by Vijay Antony and its wonderful picturisation is big plus for the movie's screenplay.RR is good/OK .climax is perfect and one cannot make a good climax more than this for a commercial mass entertainer.special thanks to Raja . Overall it is an out an out Vijay movie safely handled by Raja ...can be watched with family..trust me..It wont disappoint u...
