Vishal
is
back
with
yet
another
commercial
potboiler
titled
Vedi,
which
is
a
remake
of
Telugu
blockbuster
Souryam.
The
Tamil
movie
is
a
mass
masala
flick,
which
has
all
the
ingredients
like
love,
sentiment,
actions,
etc.
While
the
first
half
of
the
film
sees
Prabhakaran
(Vishal)
being
chased
by
goons,
the
second
half
will
reveal
the
flashbacks
that
make
the
audience
to
sit
on
the
edge
of
their
seats
till
the
end.
Prabhakaran
is
a
man,
who
does
not
know
what
fear
is.
But
runs
for
his
life
and
escapes
to
Kolkata.
He
gets
admitted
to
a
college
and
meets
a
girl
named
Deepa
(Poonam
Kaur).
Meanwhile,
a
strange
event
bonds
him
with
Aishwarya
(Sameera
Reddy)
and
he
finds
a
room
to
stay
in
her
house.
At
this
juncture,
several
incidents
make
him
to
be
an
unofficial
bodyguard
of
Deepa,
whose
is
the
only
sister
of
him
but
he
could
not
tell
her
the
same
for
some
reasons.
The
fate
separated
them
when
they
were
kids
and
as
the
story
progresses,
a
series
of
flashback
stories
will
reveal
the
truth.
Like
a
typical
action
movies
-
there
is
a
sister
sentiment,
goons
chasing,
a
deadly
gangster
and
his
son's
desperation
for
blood,
and
the
reason
behind
it
with
a
series
of
flashbacks.
Twists
in
the
story
and
age-old
rival
story
will
be
unfolded
one
after
the
other.
Vedi
is
a
regular
mass
movie
but
has
a
perfect
mix
of
action,
thrill
and
emotions
to
keep
the
audience
entertaining
throughout.
Prabhu
Deva
has
made
some
changes
from
the
original
script
to
cater
the
native
audience
taste.
Technically,
Vedi
is
good.
Vijay
Anthony
has
given
quite
a
few
good
songs
like
'Enna
aachi..',
Ippadi
mazhai..'
and
the
item
number
'Bombay
ponnu...'.
Cinematography
by
RD
Rajasekhar
is
excellent.
He
has
beautifully
captured
Howrah
Bridge
and
some
songs
picturised
in
abroad.
Especially,
Anthony's
background
score
and
his
photography
have
blended
well
during
action
sequences.
It
is
a
tailor-made
role
for
Vishal
Krishna.
The
actor
has
done
his
character
with
ease
and
shines
during
action
scenes.
He
fights
with
panache
and
dances
with
elan,
which
will
definitely
give
a
big
round
of
applause
from
the
audience.
Sameera
Reddy
is
hot
and
sexy.
Though,
she
has
limited
scenes
to
showcase
her
acting
abilities,
yet
she
manages
to
attract
the
audience
with
her
good
expressions.
Poonam
Kaur
is
good,
as
she
is
enacting
the
same
role
of
a
sister
from
the
original.
Last
but
not
the
least,
'Mumbai
ponnu'
Sophie
Choudry
takes
the
audience
by
storm
with
her
item
number.
Rest
other
characters
are
okay.
Verdict:
Audience
will
experience
like
walking
on
a
familiar
terrain.
Nonetheless,
the
movie
has
all
the
elements
of
a
mass
film.
Go
for
it,
as
it
is
a
paisa
vasool
entertainer.
