Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2

A crime lord seeks help from his ex-henchman to save his son from an encounter.

The story starts from the first second of the movie. So, don't miss the first few minutes. The writer put his main character in a difficult situation and how he is going to escape from it was a great plot.

This type of plot is not new to us but the way the writer handled the story in the screenplay was excellent.

The screenplay kicked into top gear early on and kept going at almost the same pace until the climax, but the gears wore out in the last few minutes.

I haven't seen any film in recent times that accurately evokes the tension created by the scenes in this film.

We have to appreciate the writer for writing this adrenaline rush screenplay.

Nothing is 100% perfect in this world we live in. If there is, then we could name it as a mystery.

Similarly, this film can easily be criticized for its screenplay knots and one or two typical commercial cinema elements, but it cannot be labeled as an unwatchable film.

All of them who acted in this film gave their extraordinary performances. From Vikram, Dhushara, and Suraj venjaramoodu to small character artists. Perfectly blended characterization and artist selection were written and selected as pitch-perfect.

G. V. Prakash's background score was another main pillar after the screenplay. His work was fantastic, to be frank. This one was one of his career-best works.

Cinematography has been handled fair. There are a few single-shot scenes, which were captured flawlessly. The fight choreography was decent.

The art department has delivered excellent work from them as it suits this story world. Costume department work also stands out as the perfect costume sense were given as per the economic background of the characters.

As whole, the best thrilling ride!

This marks the first occasion in my life where I have encountered a film that deliberately defies chronological order; I cannot remember any prior instances where the creators opted to unveil 'Part 2' of a series before presenting the first instalment.

Now, many may mistakenly believe that such an unconventional approach would lead to narrative inconsistencies and possibly make the storytelling disjointed, but I assure you, that was far from the reality here.

The plot unfolds with clarity, allowing audiences to clearly grasp the events on screen while simultaneously igniting curiosity about the characters, just as intended, leaving one eager for further revelations.

The only moment it falters is shortly after the intermission, when it briefly revisits a flashback scene, this segment, aside from one standout scene in the police station, felt inferior compared to the rest.

And I guess this wouldn't really come off as a surprise but Chiyaan Vikram, as 'Kaali', overshadowed nearly everyone else, with the sole exception of SJ Suryah, who once again proved his mettle and held his own ground on his own merit.

The technical crew behind cinematography and sound designing deserves commendation as well, for they had crafted a film that is both visually and aurally sumptuous. Some of the visuals were simply breathtaking, and the background score by G. V. Prakash Kumar infused the necessary vigour and energy into the mix.

The reviews were spot on-Veera Dheera Sooran hooks you right from the opening scene with its gripping narrative. The film keeps you engaged with solid storytelling, immersive cinematography, and a standout single-shot sequence that adds to the intensity.

GV Prakash delivers a decent performance, complementing the film's tone well. However, where the movie falters is in its extended screenplay towards the climax. The last half, while still engaging, loses momentum, making the final stretch feel unnecessarily prolonged. If about 20 minutes had been trimmed, this could have easily been a 4-star film.

Despite its minor flaws, Veera Dheera Sooran is a well-crafted movie with strong storytelling and technical finesse. Just the drag in the climax holds it back from being truly exceptional.

Director S. U. Arun Kumar Unleashed a powerhouse-raw, unfiltered Vikram in his primal glory. This isn't just a film; it's full of Chiyaan nostalgia, from the "Sethu"-inspired title font to the "Dhool" song tribute, this is a full-throttle VIKRAM's unrelenting swagger. A masterclass in controlled chaos. Mad respect. Now, let's be clear: if you're expecting "Dhool 2.0" or the emotional depth of "Chithha", you're looking in the wrong place. This is a wild, crazy ride, and Vikram as Kaali? He's an absolute beast.

The premise? Deceptively simple. Picture this: a normal dude, just running his shop, gets sucked into this crazy criminal mess during the village festival. And his old boss, Ravi, played by Prudhvi, is reuesting him to save his son, Kanna, from this cop, Arunagiri (SJ Suryah), who's out for blood. Turns out, this cop wants to take them down hard, like, "encounter" level, because humiliation runs deep, and retribution is best served bullet-riddled. What follows is a single, chaotic night-a high-octane action.

If you crave that conventional mass entertainer, you'll eat this up. The entire cast crushes it, but SJ Suryah as the cop? Man, he's next level. And Suraj Venjaramoodu? Creepily brilliant. And the camera work? Brownie points for the single shot will be remembered as one the best sequence in the film.

GV Prakash's music? Straight fire. It amps up the mass scenes, and there's a throwback to Vikram's "Madhura Veeran," and the crowd went wild. Theatre was shaking, for real. Now I'm hyped for what he does with Ajith's "Good Bad Ugly."

In closing, "Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2" is a banger. It has a few rough edges and loses momentum in places, but that doesn't diminish the overall movie experience. Just go in with the right expectations, ready for a wild ride, and you won't be disappointed to see Chiyaan back in a full-blown mass role. I'm already waiting for the prequel!

The film boasts a captivating screenplay filled with intense, gripping scenes and powerful dialogues that leave a lasting impact. The stellar performances of actors like Vikram, SJ Surya, Sukumaran, and Prudhvirajan add depth and authenticity to their respective roles, showcasing their versatility and talent. Balaji's portrayal of the character Venkat stands out for its natural and effortless execution, making the character relatable and believable. The background score plays a crucial role in enhancing the emotional weight of the film, seamlessly complementing the narrative and taking the cinematic experience to a whole new level. Director Arunkumar deserves special recognition for crafting a compelling story, skillfully directing the cast, and ensuring that every character is portrayed with precision and without any flaws, resulting in a truly remarkable film.
