Veeram (2014)

Wonderfully offbeat film!

Lack of good storyline.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Reached expectations? Not at all. IF you expected comedy and masala, you guessed right. Movie would have been nice if it released in the 80s. Direction: 7/10 A classical direction. Half the shots you just like, you have got to be kidding me, it's that cheap. Half of the shots had no effort into it. The other half however were nice like the train action scene was the best in the whole movie. Mainly the action scenes had effort. The rest had none. Nothing special added. Screenplay: 7/10 Movie was fast paced at first and had nice comedy. 2nd half it could get boring for a few. Some people didn't mind. The movie did have decent screen writing and etc. But nothing special.Editing: 7/10. Nice editing. Some parts it was cheap and annoying. But overall it was decent.Story: 4/10 Nothing new, another stupid 80s story added in. It was cheap, nothing new, and sometimes annoying.Acting: 7/10 Decent acting. Sometimes the characters were over exaggerated. Ajith did an excellent job. Santhanam did too. Villains were OK and the rest did decent.Music: 6.5/10 Background music was not bad. It was nice and enjoyable. Theme music was nice too. The songs were OK. Some were horrible and some were decent. Verdict: Movie was OK and could have been way better. 6.4/10

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

Really this movie full & full entertainment. really actor Ajith's good acting.* Ajith's wholesome package for the masses.* Veeram is a Mass Entertainer with Ajith's screen presence and charisma.* First half full mass and comedy.* Second half great action with sentiment.It's an Ajith's film from the word go. After playing back-to-back suave urban roles, he slips into the shoes of a rural character with ease and confidence. But there isn't a single actor who matches Ajith's performance that's worth of a mention. This is because besides him, no other actor has a strong screen presence.Among other actors, Santhanam keeps the entertainment meter ticking with his humour.While the first half is an attempt to keep the audience hooked with a lot of humour and romance, the latter half is plagued with violence, too much of it. Director Siva has strictly made Veeram for the fan-boys of Ajith, and it works in his favour.

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...
