Veeram (2014)
Its Rocking Thala Pongal...Ajith on high with back to back success
The first half of Veeram is packed with action sequences and comedy scenes.The director takes his time to build the plots. The second half is engaging and entertaining with all the necessary commercial ingredients. Family audience will love the second half more than the first half.
Ajith sports a different look in the second half, reminding us a little of the good old boy-next-door Ajith of Vaali and Villain.
After Billa, Ajith seems to have acquired this all-powerful indestructible image that seems to have struck a chord with the audience, and all his directors seem to be bending over backwards to nurture this image.
It is a welcome change from Ajith Kumar to do a rural-based story. It is nice to see him in vesthi-clad role after a few years.
Santhanam breaks the funny bones all throughout the film. Vidarth, Bala, Munish and Suhail have played their parts well. Vetri shines again with his cinematography. His work is brilliant in some songs and action sequences.
Kasi Vishwanathan's editing is neat. He should be praised for giving a good finishing look for Veeram. Last but not least, director Siruthai Siva should be patted on his back for knowing his responsibilities well. He has brought the best out of the team and he should also be appreciated for writing story, screenplay and dialogues.
Veeram is such an entertaining movie where audience will hardly find drawbacks. The entertainment quotient is very high and it could be enjoyed by all section of audience. Ajith has a success in hand again.
Rating : 9/10
Jilla (2014)
Jilla is not Vijay's best.
Hard to find Plus from the movie...
Usual old storyline, Too lengthy script. Comedy & Kajal not used properly.
Kajal Aggarwal is wasted. It appears like she is in the film just to fill the glam quotient. Her chemistry with Vijay doesn't work.
At parts, the narration is dragging and placement of songs are quite boring. In fact, the item song, which was supposed to cheer up the mood, plays spoilsport. Adding to that Kajal's love sequences are forcefully added.
Ganesh Rajavelu's cinematography is good, but Don Max's editing could have been a lot better. Selva's action sequences are praise worthy. Finally, newbie Nesan has tried his best to impress the audience. But in order to build a story that suits Vijay and Mohanlal's images, he has lost the control over the screenplay.
