Vedalam is a total commercial entertainer
Though loaded with fantastical commercial elements catering to Ajith's mass hero image, the decent plot, stunning music by Anirudh and spectacular visuals captured by cinematographer Vetri make director Siva’s Vedalam an enjoyable Diwali treat, says S Saraswathi
http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/...r/20151112.htmQuote:
After the success of Veeram last year, director Siva and actor Ajith have teamed up together for yet another action packed potboiler, titled Vedalam.
Lakshmi Menon and Shruti Haasan play the female lead supported by Rahul Dev, Kabir Duhan Singh, Thambi Ramaiah, Soori and Ashwin.
Set against the backdrop of a loving brother-sister relationship, the film revolves around one man’s mission to take down an international flesh trade racket.
Ajith is portrayed as a beefed up, invincible superhuman, who annihilates the enemy with his brute strength. Every frame seems to worship the actor, highlighting his smile and charm, much to the delight of his fans.
Ajith plays Ganesh, a lowly cab driver, who adores his younger sister Tamizh (Lakshmi Menon). The two have recently moved to Kolkata to pursue Tamizh’s love for drawing.
Ganesh enrolls her in college and gets a job driving a taxi.
Comedy actor Soori plays his boss and there are plenty of fun moments to keep you entertained. He is totally in his elements evoking much laughter along with Shruti Haasan, who plays a young lawyer desperate to win her first case.
The director has completely ignored the romantic angle, focusing instead on the brother-sister bond.
Lakshmi Menon is perfectly cast as the loving sister. An effortless performer, she does full justice to her meaty role. Their easy relationship is definitely a big plus for the film.
Ajith's character in the film is reminiscent of Rajinikanth in the cult classic Baasha.
Like Rajinikanth, Ajith abhors violence, but when provoked turns into a mean fighting machine that can destroy everything in its path.
The second half narrates a clichéd tear-jerking flashback that shows the National award-winning Thambi Ramaiah in a significant role. As Tamizh's blind father, he once again delivers a solid performance.
The weak links in the film are its many antagonists -- Kabir Duhan Singh, Aniket Chouhan and Rahul Dev.
Despite all the build-up, the trio seems to have absolutely no clue how to deal with Ajith.
A worthy opponent would probably have made the film more interesting.
There are many different facets to Ajith's character in the film. The transition from loving brother to dangerous killer is smooth and effortless. He appears in two completely different avatars in the first and second half, with distinctive body languages. He also showcases his funny side. The spontaneity with which he breaks into a jig in the middle of an intense fight scene is totally hilarious.
Though loaded with fantastical commercial elements catering to Ajith's mass hero image, the decent plot, stunning music by Anirudh and spectacular visuals captured by cinematographer Vetri make director Siva’s Vedalam an enjoyable Diwali treat.
Honestly, Rediff review is rated highly!
Vedalam massive hit in kerala ........

"அஜித் எப்போதுமே கெத்துதான்" - வேதாளம் படம் சொல்லும் 6 உண்மைகள்..!
வேதாளம் படம் வெளியாகி ஹிட்டடித்து வருகிறது. இந்நிலையில் அஜித் ஏன் கெத்து என்பதற்கு இதோ 6 காரணங்கள்
1) மழை, வெயில், புயல் என எதுவாக இருந்தாலும் அஜித் மாதிரியான ஒரு சூப்பர் ஹீரோவின் படத்தை பாதிப்பதில்லை இதுதான் 'வேதாளம்' இந்த புயலிலும் வெற்றி பெற்று, சொல்லியுள்ள பாடம்
2) அஜித் படத்துக்கு ஹீரோயின் தேவையில்லை. ‘வேதாளம்’ படத்தில் கதாநாயகி ஸ்ருதி இருப்பதும் ஒன்றுதான்... இல்லாததும் ஒன்றுதான் என்கிற அளவிற்கு அவர் குறித்து எந்த பேச்சுமே எழவில்லை.
3) எதிர்பார்த்தபடி ஆக்*ஷன் படம் இல்லை, எப்போதும் பார்த்த அதே தங்கச்சி செண்டிமெண்ட் தான் என்றாலும் படம் அஜித் என்ற ஒரு மனிதனுக்காக ஓப்பன் பாக்ஸ் ஆபிஸில் கமல் படத்தையே முந்தி வசூலில் கம்பீரமாக நிற்கிறது.
4) எவ்வளவு தான் நடிப்பைக் கொட்டி நடித்தாலும் சம்மந்தப்பட்ட கேரக்டர் அஜித்தை சுற்றி இருந்தால் மட்டுமே படத்தில் எடுபடும் என்பதற்கு லட்சுமி மேனன்,தம்பி ராமைய்யா, ரத்னா எடுத்துக்காட்டு.. எடுபடாததற்கு எ.கா: ஸ்ருதி ஹாசன், அஸ்வின், ஸ்ருதியின் அப்பா அம்மா.
5) படத்திற்கு புரமோஷன் ஆடியோ லான்ச், முக்கியமாக டிரெய்லர் கூட வெளியாகாமல் ரிலீஸ் செய்யும் தைரியம் கண்டிப்பாக அஜித் படங்களுக்கு மட்டுமே உண்டு என நிரூபித்துள்ளது வேதாளம்.
6) வந்தப் படம், வரப்போற படம் என எல்லா டிவிக்களிலும் தீபாவளி சிறப்பாக அவரவர் படத்தை பற்றிப் பேசிவந்த நிலையில் வேதாளம் குறித்த ஒரு நிகழ்ச்சியோ அல்லது திரைக் கண்ணோட்டமோ கூட நடத்தவில்லை.எனினும் அது அஜித் படத்துக்குத் தேவையில்லை என்பது மீண்டும் மீண்டும் நிரூபித்துள்ளது வேதாளம்.
I personally feel there is some indirect selling is going on in online media. These people know there is huge fan base, through which they can earn a lot by provoking something, later trying to pacify other group. example Panda !! now there are many online media who are jumping into this!
will be watching this w/e :)
Because of Param and some people on the thread saying they welcome criticism I'm going to post this here also.
Vedhalam - A very unintelligent movie filled with clichés and hero worship. A movie apt for Siva but not for Ajith. The innocent act and the transformation does not work at all especially when the transformed act does not resemble the flashback Ajith one bit.
I meant this applies for all not just for Ajith, including RK/KH, as long as people don't get abusive towards each others or their idols "Competitor" then it should be ok.Quote:

He tries to be versatile, which is a good thing !
Yea and I am part of the 'all' after all :PQuote:

When I see Ajith I get the same feeling as watching Kamal. Don't get me wrong, they are both completely different in terms if style and acting but when it comes to action movies I think he will benefit more from movies Kamal does.
Opening scene... ajith looks chilled out n pleasant as taxi driver....looks he bulked up a bit fr this role after ya.... lakshmi menon is gud...but that shruti haasan brother luks out of place...
shruti haasan..lollu sabha man...n other person r irritating... but still not as bad as double meaning jokes...
vinayaga song...gud reception...
@rameshlaus #Vedalam 's 2 Days WW Gross shd be around ₹ 38 - 39 Crs.. Should touch or cross ₹ 50 Cr Mark in WW Gross by End of Day - Today! #Outstanding
With family and other family friends for second time... everyone liked it...a decent family entertainer.. siva mixed it well.. can understand the reception it gets everywhere.. he has done a similar kind of commercial entertainer before as well, Aegan was one such movie except towards the end.. but the way he succeeds in the recent years.. his image and the fan base is in different level ..
Ajith in the current form can not give a bad movie :D 4 in a row :clap: and some boys expecting a flop.... Thamaasu.. Thamaasu.. :lol2: Sai.Sai :D
In the intermission the act gone overboard. .. the screaming was little much..Quote:

Lol. You flew that far to watch tirupathi [emoji23][emoji122][emoji3]

surprised to see fans endorsing vedalam..Back then Vijay used to do this kind of films and was ridiculed.. :confused2: heard both of them joining hands again..sutham..
Freedom, our entire Engg group in us here are mostly Thala fans. We left it post 2008, until then Folks from Atlanta, NJ , Chicago, Pittsburgh used to meet up and watch Movies together. Aalwar in Atlanta, Tirupathi in San Jose, Varalaaru in Michigan, Billa and Aegan in Chicago which was the last we watched as a group. Athu our super time.Quote:

Nostalgic memories...
Bimmer bro... Kalakarel pongo!!
Honestly I have never been concerned about Ajith's flops. It is a known fact that he sometimes has poor script sense. I think he trusts the director more than selecting the right script from available choices (this mainly includes his bizzare choices like Aegan, Asal, Billa2, Jana, thirupathi...... the common thread between all these flops is that Ajith just chose the director blindly believing in their previous outing). But I always thought failures are part and parcel of life. this is what makes success very sweet.Quote:
