Thala Ajith is back to his rural avatar. Every movie fan in Kollywood is having their curiosity to know how Ajith would carry himself in a traditional rural subject .After watching the movie one can frankly say that ' Thala irangi adichurukar'.Veeram is all about a fearless elder brother of a family, his relationship with his four brothers and how a gorgeous lady love and her family changes his life. In the recent past, we haven't seen a mass entertainer with feel good factor and appropriate mass screen presence. Veeram has brought the good old days which can be enjoyed by everyone in the family for a festival occasion, thanks to Ajith's majestic screen presence and Siva's screenplay which is a complete package for the audience.Discussing about the cast it is Ajith all the way, the actor leads the show like a true super star and the film moves at a rapid pace with his powerful screen presence. It is too good to see Ajith with ample amount of energy, be it the fight sequence or the dance sequence. Ajith has showed his true character and it is an absolute treat to the viewers.After Ajith, it is Santhanam who acts as a pillar of strength to Veeram. The comedian has made a great comeback and his comic one-liners bring the roof down. Tamannaah has given a superb performance in the film. The gorgeous Tammu looks perfect in every scene and has done justice to the meaty role offered to her.The other supporting cast including Nassar, Appu Kutty, Atul Kulkarni, Viddarth, Suhail, Bala, Pradeep Rawat, Thambi Ramaiah have given adequate performance.Veeram is not just another mass masala entertainer,the film's cinematography quality and editing by K Viswanath is more than adequate. The rail stunt sequence gives goose-bumps, especially when Ajith hangs out of the train. Dialogues by Barathan is another big bonus and even the punch-dialogues doesn't appear to be exaggerated and it suits Ajith's mass image.Devi Sri Prasad's songs are just okay but the BGM is solid and gives the perfect mass feel for the film. Last but not the least, director Siva must be lauded for this splendid entertainer. Though there are some cliché scenes in the second half, the director has maintained the tempo with an unique pace and it is the toughest task for any commercial entertainer.On the whole, Veeram is a perfect family outing so don't miss this colorful cinema for this pongal.Rajasekar S, Cinemalead.

VEERAM :Its an out - n - out Action entertainer. A full package for Ajith fans. The screen presence of #Thala s just larger than life.It has many mass elements & commercially planned to attract the audiences. Whatever the clothes Ajith wears, has the charm & style within himself.Nothing new in d story, but screenplay made d magic 4 movie. Comedy, Action, Sentiment & Romance, t has everything in right quotient.The Oly prob s pace of d movie. Though its slow, never gets bored. Interval block s just pure mass.Positives can be mentioned as Ajith, screenplay, BGM. Negative is just the songs.My Rating : 9/10.

It's a commercial spicy masala pongal for the Tamil cinema industry, since two big stars launch their commercial movies at the same time. Nevertheless both of them where commercial mass entertainer so clearly no space for logics. So now let's see What Thala Ajith has come up with his commercial Pongal recipe for us.Veeram on the whole has got no big fresh story line but the same 1990's style of Tamil rural base story has been presented in a refreshing way. So obliviously the same old wine in new bottle. Director Siva has strategically handled the standard commercial template of cinema. A racy first half filled with typical Brother Sentiment- Comedy- Heroic Action-Romance. An engaging second half with Family Sentiment- Raging Action-Romance. Plus both sides had songs equally distributed. Coming to the star cast first our Thala Ajith as Vinayagam after his continuous urban avatars is now seen on a rural make over. Our Billa was looking equally stylish in the traditional outfit. He has done full justice to his role starting from romance sentiment comedy and fierce action sequences. Tammanah Bhatia as Koppu has given a comeback to Tamil cinema after her average grosser Venghai in 2011.Got to say this diva has still got the oomph factor in her. She had lots of screen space to perform a character in between a traditional and modern girl but I found her flawed in main emotional and crying sequences. But that doesn't stop me saying "Man she looked ravishingly beautiful". When romance department was handled by Tammanah the comedy department was given to Santhanam who did fairly well with his jokes but though it was engaging nothing nailed your heart as a comedy. Nassar as a big shot and a peacemaker of a village entered lately but his performance was superb of course his acting skills are legendary. So moving on to the supporting role casting it had lots of actors, some of them where seen in both big releases of Pongal. As usual the technicalities of the movie had nothing big since it's a commercial venture aimed at satisfying all class audience. So nothing special for elite movie viewers. Music was below average as far as the songs. But BGM was racy.Verdict: Director Siva's second Tamil Venture Veeram is undoubtedly a commercial mass entertainer for the whole family and particularly a true Thala pongal for core thala fans. NB: Viewers who strictly stick on stuff and story based movies are advised to miss this flick for sure.-Reviewed by Sivakumar Balachandran ([email protected])

An average movie with Ajith presence and Santhanam comedy really saved this powerless Veeram. Veeram is a total rural masala feast for this pongal to Ajith fans with comedy, action and romance but we don't see anything different. DSP music is totally a fall down compared to his previous movies. This Veeram is strictly for die-hard Thala fans. Director Siva's script and screenplay completely let down the normal audiences. Overall, Veeram is not impressive and can watch only for Ajith.Veeram movie review – An average movie with Ajith presence and Santhanam comedy really saved this powerless Veeram.
