Indiaglitz review for Veerudokkade


IndiaGlitz
What Rohith Shettys of the world will never understand is there on offer in director Siruthai Shiva's Veerudokkade (dubbed version of Veeram). Watching Ajith in a white dhoti-clad role is a treat. Surrounded by entertaining sidekicks, Ajith is seen in a role that the Telugu audience will like.
One reason why Ajith (like Surya and Vikram) is more popular than any Tamil star (barring the legends Rajini and Kamal) is that he doesn't act like a typical Tamil hero. His mannerisms are different. With a good built, he looks every bit that larger-than-life Telugu hero in this film.

There is a difference, though. On the face of it, this film is marked by hero-worshipping. It's not so, at least going by the Telugu film standard. In Telugu films, superstars are needlessly deified so much so that a sidekick talking in a lighthearted manner with the hero is seen as blasphemy. In this film, Ajith's character is respected, he is god for some, goon for the baddies and a devil for the villains, but a ground-to-earth, next-door elder for the rest of the villagers.


Whether it is superhit or not what made me happy is both AattaArrambam and Veerudokkade didn't go unnoticed like some of his other dubbed movies in past..
