2014 Pongal is celebrated in the Kollywood film industry because of the 'clash of the titans' Vijay vs Ajith. This time both are working with relatively new directors (just 2nd film for both the directors).Veeram director Siva did make a mark with his first film Siruthai which was a commercial movie. Veeram trailer and Ajith getup suggest his second movie follows the same trend. Let's see whether Ajith has chosen the right script for a back to back hit after Aarambam.
The movie starts by introducing the 5 brothers were Ajith is the eldest of the lot. Santhanam gets introduced as the family lawyer and the minute he is introduced the party starts and the movie picks up some pace. But the actual mass scene in the first half is when Ajith meets head to head his counterpart in the village and this scene tried to depict Antony vs Badsha scene. Ajith movies never have too many punch dialogs, but this one for a change has and the dialogs actually makes good sense with the context of the scene. Kudos to dialog writer Bharathan.
Next is the introduction of the Heroine Tamannaah after which starts the romance scenes as expected. Until the interval action sequence the movie looks more like a romantic comedy, but the Interval science is where the movie's title makes right sense. This power packed fight scene in the train is where Ajith has performed his best and will receive accolades for the same.
The second half starts with more sentimental scenes, but the best part of the director is that he never goes beyond the limit. The moment audience feels impatient, Thambi Ramaiya gets introduced to add some fun part. Nasser as usual does the role of a good father of the heroine. And now a new set of villains is getting introduced and the hero should tackle these guys and also prove his love for a happy climax. Here on its a pure commercial movie formula, but still best screenplay and direction saves the show.
Music by DSP is the right choice for this commercial entertainer. The theme and intro song are the best and BGM serves the purpose. Cinematographer Vetri and Editor Kasi Viswanathan have done a good job. Overall its the Director Siva and the dialog writer who holds the main responsibility for delivering this commercial extranganza.
So in this titanic clash, Veeram delivers the punch required to be the clean family entertainer. Comedy, romance and actions mixed in the right proportion will just glue the audience to the screen. Santhamam, Tamannaah and all other casting have done their role neatly. Verdict : Ultimate star has delivered an Ultimate movie of the year . Must watch
