Keshava Raaja Its a full entertaining film with action, comedy, sentiment and some twist. Positive vibration throughout the film. Entertainment guarantied till the end. But nothing new. Flashback scenes are like refreshing the mind. Anirudh music made the frame in fire. Perfectly made for Ajith fans. The way Thambi Ramaiah handled his character was awesome. Good break for Lakshmi Menon. Shruti Haasan and Soori character is just for time pass. And of course its commercial one, so some illogical elements are there. But it satisfied the audiences they targeted. Now its proved Siva is one of the best commercial film director in Tamil film industry. And I can say its a big blockbuster film in the year.

harigokul Nobody expected that Ajith can give a mass movie like Vedhalam... It is very new for Ajith. and Ajith fans.. Ajith never done a such a mass action movie.. It is truly focused on young audience...Children and family..women especially... Not for elders.Movie moves very fast..comedy scenes are lacking to make us laugh..Shruti hassan appearance and songs not that good..But Vinayaga and Doluma songs are exceptional. Nobody expected Ajith can do movie like Mangatha..He did and made a huge hit. . Now it is vedhalam.. He surprised everyone..You have to see to believe that.. Ajith comedy scenes are better comparing to Suri.. Except Ajith and Lakshmi menon nobody is noticeable in the movie.. Lots of dance for Ajith.. Lots of build up for Ajith ..but nothing gone waste... It is going to be a huge hit in Tamil Cinema..It is going to be a better movie than Mangatha.. going to cross all collections of the latest tamil movies.. Don't waste time on reading reviews Please go and watch the movie.. I can guarantee you will not feel bad..It is a real entertainer..

josedeleep For the hype it was created, not even worth giving 1*. Songs are OK, however the story, screenplay is a crap. Plz stop giving public such kind of same masala movies :( I feel the story writer has taken multiple hit movies, mixed it in a Blender and put it in the form of Vedhalam. For God sake please stop copying the Everlasting Basha movie, its an Epic movie and nothing can replace it. This is just a Normal don film tried to copy Basha. The Grandpa look or the so called Salt and pepper look it very out fashioned, think in the viewers eye, they need a young hero who can fight with Villains, not Grandpa's doing extra ordinary fights for his sister. Aaluma Doluma is good.

Jasrick Johal Diwali is not only a time were you eat tons of sweet, light candles, blow fireworks, and pray to god, it also a time when the biggest films release in India to cash in on the festive season. This Diwali marked the release of Superstar Ajith's Vedalam. After the commercial and critical success of Yennai Arindhaal, Ajith is back with Vedalam which is pure mass entertainer, and the makers make no qualms about it. The film can be termed as a routine/typical mass entertainer, its a done to death type of revenge saga, Vedalam offers nothing new, but that was excepted,its a film Ajith fans will relish. Ajith is the films biggest asset, he is the film, his acting, his antic are just superb. Ajith in the 2nd half in his mass avatar is the best acting I have seen from him in awhile. The whistles and claps will be galore for all Thala fans. Were the film falters however is in the story and screenplay aspect. You see making a a proper mass entertainer is not an easy job, presenting the routine story in a fresh appealing way is a art too, but here the typical revenge saga is not believable at all, but more on that later.Story wise,Ganesh arrives in Kolkata with his sister who is every thing to him. He starts to lead a new life here as a Taxi Driver. On the other side, the City Police Department which is in search of International Smuggling Racket Distributes Some Details to all Taxi Drivers for Information. Ganesh Helps the Police and hence gets Kidnapped by the baddies. Who is Ganesh and why he is here forms the rest.Acting wise Ajith is in complete form, his fans will relish his performance especially in the 2nd half when he comes into his mass element,as Vedalam he acts like a villainous hero to perfection. Shruti Hassan adds glamor and looks very beautiful.Lakshmi Menon is the real heroine of the film,she is playing Ajith's sister, and she is very graceful.Soori adds a nice comic act. Rahul Dev and Kabir Dhuan are playing typical villains.Vedalam works for two main reason first being the brother sister sentiment scenes which are the films highlight, those scenes tug on the viewers heart strings.The second reason is Ajith's acting, and the pure mass second half. Ajith historic's as Vedalam give you a reason to whistle in the theater, the interval action scene is a great example of this. The film's action scenes are the film's highlight, they are top notch. Ajith's and Soori's comic scenes are also very enjoyable and evokes laughter. But where the film falters is in the story and screenplay aspect. The whole taking revenge for a "step sister", when you were hardcore villain (the whole time) is not very believable. How can one just change there identity in one scene. I mean even for a mass entertainer were logic takes a back seat, this was a little too much. Story wise the audience is taken for granted. Also the films scale at times looks a little small(the Kolkata scenes) for a Ajith film. The film needs to be tighter too, with the length almost touching 3hrs, and nothing happens in the first hour of the film. But all these are minor blemishes if your a Ajith fan.Overall if you are Ajith fan or a fan of the mass entertainer genre then Vedalam is a film you will enjoy watching. Just make sure you don't go into the theaters excepting a film with logic or an amazing story. For the most part I enjoyed the film, and I really enjoyed the heartfelt brother sister scenes, and Ajith's acting.3.25/5* or 6.5/10
