Vijay is back in action with Velayudham an out and out mass entertainer with all Navarasas of commercial cinema mixed in the right proposition. Director M Raja has packaged it neatly catering to the taste of all sections of the audiences.
It is Vijay�s Diwali treat to his fans. The film carries a old story line, but the way it has been packaged and delivered is something that needs to be looked at. Raja has ensured not to enforce any unnecessary scene or dialogue at any stage, which hinders the speed at which the movie goes.
Vijay flaunts his pumped-up physique for the first time as he takes off his shirt in the climax. Director M Raja has packaged the film smartly and Vijay appears to be having a rollicking good time with his scorching screen-presence and his infectious enthusiasm for dancing. He throws himself completely into the film's every action scene, puts his casual and laidback style of dialogue delivery to good use in the film's romantic and comic scenes. There are no unnecessary punch dialogues for this movie and Vijay's body language seems to be improving from one movie to another
Hansika looks cute, appears confident, and is well cast as the spirited Vaidehi. Her comedy scenes with Vijay are a scream especially the scene when she comes in western clothes to impress her lover. Genelia does justice to her role and Santhanam�s jokes are funny. Saranya Mohan is perfect in the sister role.
One major plus for the movie is Vijay Antony's songs which are melodious and mass. The Vijay introductory song Sonna Puriyadhu.., Chillaxxx.. and Molachu Moonu... are the pick of the lot.The first half of the movie appeals very well with family audiences, which has good mixture of few action scenes, comedy, romance and so on. However as the second half starts, the transformation of Velu to Velayudham has been showcased well without any logical traps. Raja has also ensured to even finish the movie well with a gripping climax, unveiling a new Vijay for all, who can portray emotions like never seen before. The way vijay carries out his emotions, comedy, action sequences, and ofcourse his dance in the movie is a biggest plus
On the otherside, the film is far too long, especially the second half. Shorter in length, Velayudham would have been even more crisp. But still it is a perfect outing with family, if you are looking for time pass entertainment.
Vijay has ensured to deliver a neat commercial cinema yet again. Along with Vijay, a special thanks to Raja for his good and gripping screenplay, Vijay Antony for his peppy songs, and also to Suba who had penned good dialogues, which has lifted the movie to great heights now.
Verdict: Paisa Vasool and Entertainment Guaranteed. Its Thalapathy Diwali this time !!
