Featured reviews
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

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.

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!!!!
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 .
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...
