>>>VELAYUDHAM REVIEW

Ilayathalapathy Vijay
much awaited movie
"Velayudham" hits 105
screens in Kerala with
heavy welcome. M.Raja,
actor Jayam Ravi's
brother, who calls himself
the king of remakes, is
director and produced by
V. Ravichandran's Aascar
Films. The movie
distributed in Kerala
through Thameens
Release.
The movie thread begins
with a village backdrop,
where Vijay, his sister
Saranya Mohan and his
girlfriend Hansika Motwani
were living happily. As his
sister gets ready for her
marriage, he leaves to city
to withdraw the money
from the chit fund, where
he had deposited it long
back. Soon he realises that
it was a bogus company
and he has been cheated.
In a bid to seek revenge,
he took help of a journalist
played by Genelia, who
enlightens him about the
root cause of the
problem. How he turns
the vigilante and how he
punishes the criminals,
form the interesting part
of the Velayudham. While
the story has a strong
message, the filmmakers
have ensured to include all
the commercial elements
like love, romance, action,
social activities etc.
It is a film for Vijay's fans
who love their star to
dance with energy, fight
with enthusiasm and love
with mischief. He does all
this in his usual style.
Punchline dialogues,
songs glorifying hero find
their place in all
throughout the movie.
Genelia gives a sterling
performance. Hansika is
bubbly looking and there
for glamour and she is
promising. saranya
Mohan does her role well.
Comedy track of
Santhanam makes his
seat of comedy king more
stronger. M S Baskar,
Sathyan, Ilavarasu,
Vincent
Ashokan ,Raaghav lends
ample support.
M.Raja utilised Vijay's
action-hero image at
maximum level. From
song picturisation to
screenplay, Raja's efforts
are seen in every frame.
The graphic work is
mind-boggling. Vijay
Antony's music is peppy,
especially Chilaax..Chilax..
being pick to the core.
Priyan's camera and V. T.
Vijayan's editing are
fabulous. Climax action
sequence which are
choreographed by
Hollywood stuntman
Tom Delmar is notable.
"Velayudham" is designed
for mass-entertainer
lovers. Ilayadalapthy's
mass performance made
the movie extravaganza !
As a big break once;for
Rajinikanth Basha, for
Vijay its Velayudham !!
Overall, "Velayudham" is
entertainment guaranteed.
Verdict: Mass Entertainer.
