Vedi Movie Review-Old cracker fails to make any impact (TFC)

VEDI MOVIE REVIEW

Cast: Vishal, Sameera Reddy, Poonam Kaur, Vivek, Devi Sri Prasad and Sophie Choudry
Director: Prabhu Deva
Producer: G K Film Corporation – Vikram Krishna and Shreya Reddy
Music: Vijay Antony
Cinematography: R D Rajasekar

If you are the one who is satisfied with a collage of fights, songs, sentiments and other ‘masala’ elements in a film, Vedimay surpass your expectations. For this Prabhudeva-directed, Vishal-starrer movie is a full-length commercial entertainer which gives no work to the brain. You come, enjoy and go.

After a serious outing in Avan Ivan with Bala, Vishal is in full form in an outright commercial movie. The man who shot to fame with films like Sandakozhi and Thimiru, in the association of Prabhudeva, has come out with a Telugu remake (Souryam), which is as hot and as spicy as Andhra meals. But a feel of déjà vu prevails all through, which may not impress those who expect certain amount of novelty.

STORY LINE

Prabhakaran (Vishal) comes to Kolkata from Thuthukkudi. The reason for his travel is conspicuous. In the capital city of West Bengal, he meets Deepa (Poonam Kaur) and seeks her help for his stay. In the meantime, he comes across a vivacious Paro (Sameera Reddy) and her gang of friends.

Meanwhile, some evil elements trouble Divya andPrabhakaran comes to her help. Even as Paro slowly falls for Prabhakaran, a flashback reveals that he has some scores to settle in his life. There is a sibling story which is coupled with an underworld backdrop. Prabhakaran is hunted by lot of goons in Kolkatta, as he is the man who had challenged the all powerful underworld don (Sayaji Shinde) of Thuthukkudi with success. The don wants to kill him and he has found that Prabhakaran has a sister. He starts playing a crude game but Prabhakaran is game for it.

Who is Prabhakaran? Why he is in Kolkata? Why doesn’t he reveal his identity to his sister? What happens to the love story? The latter half answers all the questions.

VERDICT

Vedi aims to be a commercial entertainer but fails to entertain as it lacks in novelty or newness. If you have more than two hours to kill on a weekend, Vedi may be your destination.
