Vikram Vedha Review


Cast:           Madhavan, Vijay Sethupathi,
Music:        Sam C.S
Direction:  Pushkar & Gayathri

Police in search of a gangster. Vikram (played by Madhavan) and his team is in search of Vedha (played by Vijay sethupathi). So is it a good versus evil story? It’s rather ‘what is good and what is evil’ story. Vikram utters a dialogue “Everything is in details” which actually summarize the script by Pushkar & Gayathri.

Before telling about the depth of detailing, the script is a mind boggling puzzle. Vedha likes to narrate his story, but the brilliance in writing makes the story relatable to Vikram. The story is predictable at times, but it never moves as one predicts. Vedha replaces a guy who is right hand to a gangster. Anyone would expect a revenge from that guy. But the directors had something else. The film is a puzzle. To solve a puzzle, one needs details. Even a small burn on Priya’s hand (played by Shraddha Srinath) and a bruise on a photo is used to solve the puzzle and the story continues.

Vedha’s dialogues have philosophy despite of being a gangster. Vedha introduction in the screen is one of Vijay Sethupathi’s best intro scenes. Until his intro, Vedha is acclaimed a heinous gangster and his laugh at the climax justifies all the acclaims. Madhavan as Vikram is a perfect cast and he scores by handling th emotions so well.

The song in the second half where nearly 25 people dance inside a small room is shot brilliantly. The tone of the film with Sam C.S background score gives a near goose bumps experience at several places. The addition of humor in the script again shows the brilliance of writing. The humor has worked at most of the places.


Verdict: Well written script meets top notch performance.

Arjun Reddy Review

Cast: Vijay Deverakonda, Shalini, Rahul Ramakrishna, Music: Radhan Direction: Sandeep Vanga When the film gets over and while you walk out of the theatre have you heard a few people saying “It’s a normal same old story” (No one did for this film). Arjun Reddy is such a film with same old story. Arjun Reddy (played by Vijay Deverakonda, about whom I will talk in a while) is a topper in his medical college and a short tempered guy with zero anger management. He meets a first year girl, Preethi (played by Shalini) and they fall in love. What happens to Arjun after his love failure is what explored in a unique way. So this not a film that you can expect every year. This is a film that has a beautiful narration enthralling you for 3 hours. The initial scenes when Arjun frequently visits Preethi are a little surprising as Preethi never utters a word whenever he visits her. You start thinking what kind of love it is. But the love that Arjun has on Preethi is explained in...

Velaikkaran Review

Cast: Sivakarthikeyan, Nayanthara, Fahad Fazil, Rohini Music: Anirudh Direction: Mohan Raja Mohan Raja decides to narrate the core problem from the first scene. The narration dialogue in the opening relating genetic disorder and social hierarchy tells the director has brought us another social issue. The problem which Arivu (Sivakarthikeyan) face gets dedicated attention. The story and screenplay is written around the problem which get rids of unnecessary contents. Yet we get a duet song post interval which seems misfit. Arivu’s character is brilliantly written and its Sivakarthikeyan’s best in his career. He opens a radio station for his slum and he wants to awake his slum people from certain misguided things. This trait becomes huge as film progress and now he cares for whole nation. The stories inside the slum and the main problem get linked in a marvellous way. The scene that relates two different professions is amazing. The film has many characters and not ...

Bharat ane nenu Review

Cast: Mahesh Babu, Kiara Advani, Prakash Raj, Sarath Kumar Music: Devi Sri Prasad Direction: Koratala Siva Bharat (Mahesh Babu), a five degree holder comes to India from London after hearing the news of his father’s demise. Raghava (Sarath Kumar) is Bharat’s father and the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Varadaraj (Prakash Raj), a close friend of Raghava wants Bharat to be the next Chief Minister. He becomes the Chief Minister. In the first scene of the film, Bharat answering to the question why he has five degrees that he does not know many things and want to learn. That’s some solid writing by Koratala Siva. He takes up the CM post because he does not know anything about it, which he honestly admits at first day of his charge. Another well written and edited scene is when the young Bharat eats ice cream breaking his promise to his mother. The following advice on promise becomes Bharat’s life principle. The scene one expects someone saying Bharat has not eaten ...
