The story contains a typical essence of Vijay's movies. But M.Raja has a technique to make people sit on their seats and make them not move their eyes of the screen.

Yes, the movie is good to watch and the story is also nice. I don't know why, but this movie reminded me of the popular video game "Prince of Persia".

Genilia plays a vital role and appears to be her best performance yet. I have no idea why Hanshika was casted in this movie. She has no connection to the story what-so-ever, except for glamor. Saranya Murugan's role is to be acclaimed. Santhanam does have a good role to play. As I said, hats off to M.Raja for casting. But he could haver thought twice about Hanshika.

Overall, the movie is thrill/action/comedy/romance packed journey. Guaranteed entertainment. My rating is 7/10.

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.

Vijay is back to what he does best; mass entertainers, and what better time to unveil a mass entertainer than Diwali. With the music already a rage, the excitement was palpable as fans headed in droves to theatres on the festival of lights.

Raja has done a fine job of mixing all the elements that go towards making a mass hero film, though he has lost the balance a bit in the last hour. His adeptness at placing comedy, romance, sentiment and the mandatory 5 songs into a script that has an alter-ego(istic) superhero should be commended. Nothing looks out of place, as we enjoy Santhanam's wisecracks, Vijay's dances and the brother-sister sequences. It is a while since we have seen Vijay excel in an emotionally heavy scene, Raja gets it out of the actor, in Velayudham. Also, placing 5 songs in a movie with none of them sticking out like a sore thumb is quite an achievement; though we should say that Vijay's presence is a major factor in ensuring this.

Everyone in front of the camera has done a fine job. Vijay is sprightly, energetic and every bit the way we love to see him. He has experimented a bit with his look in the songs and they have come out well. Hansika is there in many scenes, but for most parts is a silent spectator, being called upon once in a while, mostly for glamour. She does not look out of place as a village girl, but the makers' claim that she would remind us of Khushboo is an overstatement. Genelia gets quite a significant part and looks convincing. A laugh is guaranteed every time Santhanam is on screen. Saranya Mohan too deserves a round of applause for being good enough to make the audience feel the depth of the siblings' bond.

A racy entertainer this Deepavali season. A right choice for the festival mood. Enjoy with Your Family !!!!

After huge expectation when the songs have already topped the charts , the wait is finally over for all our fans. Velayudham - The ultimate weapon fired all cylinders and was fully loaded with all the ingredients required for a mass commercial movie and thoroughly satisfied the expectation of every fan who were eagerly waiting for the result. There are many scenes in the movie where your adrenaline rushes, heart pumps and finally you end up with dry throat screaming at your maximum possible decibel level.

Highlights :

Vijay carries the entire movie on his shoulders. He serves as the messiah for poor, general public and his character has been perfectly sketched and he has been fed with a neat and a mass script which demands for his image.

Songs have been perfectly placed and beautifully captured, opening song was a treat to watch, beautiful colors and was a perfect start to a fast paced movie.

All the artists have done justice to their role and i actually lost count on the number of artists who have appeared.

Stunts need to mentioned here, beautifully choreographed by stunt Silva and Arasu, each and every punch was breathtaking.

Director Raja has been underestimated by all of us, he proved all of us wrong and gave a perfect mass commercial movie which can be enjoyed by all sections of people and also keeping the family audience in mind.

The two pretty ladies, in fact three including Saranya Mohan, they have done their part and also gave their best which is required for the script. Hansika with her cute expressions and innocent behavior and with her glamor quotient makes the audience spell bound, Genelia as a press reporter a much serious role and also an important part of the movie has done her role very well.

Verdict: Velayudham - 1000 gems in the sky
