Veeram (2014)

Sadly Over-hyped

Absolutely the worst movie.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Veeram- Mass Entertainer. From an Urban suave look, we are used to see 'Thala' Ajith, its damn refreshing to watch him clad dhoti for the entire stretch of the movie. Veeram packs a punch with the right mix of Action, comedy, sentiment and romance. One of the best action movie released off lately. Ajith's screen presence with his Dialogues and DSP's BGM are major boost to the movie. Director Shiva has meticulously planned the screenply to quench the thirst of a FAN and also the neutral audience ably supported with a huge cast. Among the rest of the cast, Santhanam takes over the comic relief throughout the movie.Thamana Bhatia, Nasser and Vidharth play decent role.The First half looks a tad slow compared to the racy second half. Veeram- Pakka Family Entertainer.. Darling of Masses

It's a commercial spicy masala pongal for the Tamil cinema industry, since two big stars launch their commercial movies at the same time. Nevertheless both of them where commercial mass entertainer so clearly no space for logics. So now let's see What Thala Ajith has come up with his commercial Pongal recipe for us.Veeram on the whole has got no big fresh story line but the same 1990's style of Tamil rural base story has been presented in a refreshing way. So obliviously the same old wine in new bottle. Director Siva has strategically handled the standard commercial template of cinema. A racy first half filled with typical Brother Sentiment- Comedy- Heroic Action-Romance. An engaging second half with Family Sentiment- Raging Action-Romance. Plus both sides had songs equally distributed. Coming to the star cast first our Thala Ajith as Vinayagam after his continuous urban avatars is now seen on a rural make over. Our Billa was looking equally stylish in the traditional outfit. He has done full justice to his role starting from romance sentiment comedy and fierce action sequences. Tammanah Bhatia as Koppu has given a comeback to Tamil cinema after her average grosser Venghai in 2011.Got to say this diva has still got the oomph factor in her. She had lots of screen space to perform a character in between a traditional and modern girl but I found her flawed in main emotional and crying sequences. But that doesn't stop me saying "Man she looked ravishingly beautiful". When romance department was handled by Tammanah the comedy department was given to Santhanam who did fairly well with his jokes but though it was engaging nothing nailed your heart as a comedy. Nassar as a big shot and a peacemaker of a village entered lately but his performance was superb of course his acting skills are legendary. So moving on to the supporting role casting it had lots of actors, some of them where seen in both big releases of Pongal. As usual the technicalities of the movie had nothing big since it's a commercial venture aimed at satisfying all class audience. So nothing special for elite movie viewers. Music was below average as far as the songs. But BGM was racy.Verdict: Director Siva's second Tamil Venture Veeram is undoubtedly a commercial mass entertainer for the whole family and particularly a true Thala pongal for core thala fans. NB: Viewers who strictly stick on stuff and story based movies are advised to miss this flick for sure.-Reviewed by Sivakumar Balachandran ([email protected])

An average movie with Ajith presence and Santhanam comedy really saved this powerless Veeram. Veeram is a total rural masala feast for this pongal to Ajith fans with comedy, action and romance but we don't see anything different. DSP music is totally a fall down compared to his previous movies. This Veeram is strictly for die-hard Thala fans. Director Siva's script and screenplay completely let down the normal audiences. Overall, Veeram is not impressive and can watch only for Ajith.Veeram movie review – An average movie with Ajith presence and Santhanam comedy really saved this powerless Veeram.

Ajith as Vinayagam shines in every glimpse with extraordinary screen presence & charisma. The story (though not new) is tailor made with all the necessary elements of a commercial entertainer. Will be an enjoyable watch for the whole family.Ajith fans would love to see their man with village makeover that aptly suits him on every frame. Oh man.. the dialogues were awesome... feels more like a real life experience. Ajithkumar being a hero in real life too, makes those dialogues more meaningful.The sentiment scenes in the second half of the movie may seem redundant, but still watchable... as it is well matched up with excellent performances from Nasser, Thamanna & rest of the crew.Overall a nice family entertainer that will be a sure shot blockbuster for this festive season...
