An excellent combination of a strong message, a great storyline, and excellent casting.
Shivanna's and the other cast members' performance is outstanding, and the scenario is really realistic.
I loved the whole film and suggest that others see it so that they may decide whether or not it was worth their time.
Overall, if you want to see a movie that is simple, effective, mass, elegant, and has a superb cast with amazing performances, don't hesitate.

At core, Vedha's story is done to death kind as we have seen this story unfold multiple times before. What makes this stand apart is how Harsha builds the story around his women characters than his male lead. Not that it is sensible, it mostly sticks to murder as the solution / justice. Starting in the present day, the narrative goes through non-linear style jumping from 80's to 60's comfortably. With the father - daughter duo on a killing spree, clearly to avenge the death of their mother, the story is about what really happened for the duo to take law into their hands in that brutal fashion.
Vedha remains a straight forward story told in non-linear style. Probably why it felt Harsha having more control over his script than say Bhajarangi 2 where he overstuffed the screenplay making it too much for him to handle. There isn't much deviation so Harsha's growth as a director / storyteller is visible. Like his Bhajarangi 2, even this initially had superficial dialogues and dialogue delivery but thankfully it didn't last long. The pace does drop frequently but that is more to do with the nature of the script with minimal space for entertaining scenes.
The true strength of Vedha apart from making style is definitely the performances. Shivanna on his 125th film is comfortable in downplaying his character and letting others shine. His is a matured performance where he roars only when he is required to. Aditi Sagar does well with limited dialogues firmly supporting Shivanna. Ganavi Laxman is good in her role but some of her dialogues were hard to understand due to the dialect. Shweta Chengappa did shine in a major scene which drew non stop whistles. The veteran Umashri shows off why the character poses no challenge to her and entertains well.
Since the story isn't new, it has hangover of several films but not enough to ruin the experience. Vedha still delivers despite extreme violence and pacing issues. The gimmicks do land without turning cringe which is an added advantage. Whenever the narrative stalls, the performances make up for it.

The movie did a very good job conveying the message which has been known and said earlier but this has a different impact . Shivanna , being his 125th movie , leaves a lot of space to other characters specially the lead female casts and obviously shine. His eyes are his power . A very big round of applause to Ganavi Laxman , who has played Vedha's wife, pushpa character is just amazing . Watched the movie 2nd time just for her performance. Aditi Sagar as Kanaka was powerful too , as well as Swetha Chengappa . Vedha's friend played by Raghu performed really well . And How can I forget Umashree ! She's just marvellous . The baddies did a very good job too though their screen time was limited . Could have been still more interesting and gripped . Had about 4 to 5 goosebump moments . Overall , if you want to watch a movie that's simple ,effective , mass , class and a great cast with awsome performance , Do not hesitate and just go for it .
When movies like "777 CHARLIE" & "KANTARA"are striving hard getting national recognition,directors like Harsha are adding cheap thrills and gory violent and bloody pointless revenge drama to fill the pockets of producers making way to stay in limelight ....what's women empowerment is it just hero on a killing spree hunting social evils ...Ghanavi laxman and Umashree are the character's to look upon trying to save the movie that falls flat with poor writing and baseless plot...Being Shivraj Kumar's 125th film fails to create a magic or a milestone impact could have wisely chosen a better script ...
Overall better avoid watching it to save ur valuable time.
This movie is R rated, not suitable for family audiance. Too much violence, nice story, and decent screenplay, Actions are Well Choreographed. I like this movie, i don't agree with this idiot reviewers. Rapists are deserve this kind of punishment, last dialogues are really heart hitting. And most positive Fact about this movie is Lady Characters. Just wow.. i was not expecting this. Love this movie and Dr. Shiv rajkumar.
. There is a prostitute character in this movie, her role was insane, not expecting at all, villains are average, comedy was average, songs are good, and i don't know who was playing Dr. Srk's wife's role , she was just insane. If u r like violence raw action, then this movie is for u.. if u scare of blood shades then don't watch this movie go and watch pogo with ur family. Watch mr. Bean. 😊
