Too much of everything

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Vedam is a perfect movie. Story,Cast,Direction,Screenplay..... well i said its perfect...Talking about..Story: people might think the first half of the story is a little boring but the fact is that, the motto of first half is to blend all the 20 or so characters of the movie into a diverging "X road where they meet in climax.."..Well the second half is the most powerful way to mix the blend made in first half.Action: The Fight at the time of interval is the best action episode of the movie. Manoj did it with high risks as you can see of course conditions apply. Near natural.Pro's of Action: No kicks/punches that make people fly in the air..Thank God..Con's of Action: All the action episodes are pretty made for it-up.Dilogues: Timely placed. Simple words. Powerful enough to hit your thoughts.Pro's of Dilogues: "Deenemma Jeevitham..pretty commonly used.." Cons's of Dilogues: Didn't find much..Music: Fits for the movie. MMK has done a good job tho not best of what he can do. Songs are well made.Pro's of Music: Manoj looks like a rock-star which drags your attention towards the music.Con's of Music: If it was original music it might have been good. Seems to be copy pasted from some English rock-star albums..Performances: Best of Allu-Arjun,Anushka(hot hot hot) & Specially "Manoj".. All other roles are superb anyway. I find Manoj role is not just a guest role.. Rain of Awards is waiting for the time..by all the cast for sure...Pro's of performances: I dint find any cons.. so its the rest..Climax: Wow!! No more.! Personally: I got collection of very few Telugu movies in my computer.. This movie DVD is going to be added into my list as it comes out..I think Allu Arjun , Manoj are going to lead the industry in coming future.. Planning & choosing their characters and scripts in a far better way than our "Lungi - south - Superstars..No offense..Its a fact live with it.." Radhakrishna..if you are reading this comment..then listen up buddy.. "Vedam is a natural,crispy,crunchy,salt n sweet,powerful,inspiring,artistic,musical,romantic Drama." 9/10...I never expected any other director than ManiRatnam can make a movie like this..but yeah there is Krish...Finally,go have look at this movie in theaters..If you miss this movie, sorry to say " You missed one of the best movies in Telugu.!!".

wow!what an experience which compelled me into writing this..lets start from the beginning..when i was told that this was an experimental movie in telugu, i was really circumspect because let me tell u i've been watching telugu movies for many years now & whenever someone tries something "different" more often it turns out to be awful.but this one's one of those movies which stands for all the great things about this great medium.it shows,reflects,teaches & above all it inspires.hats off to the director for pulling this off with a difficult subject,ensemble cast & an amazing way of story telling.if u really are curious to know the story,it intertwines 4 stories which are very distinct on their own from the beginning to the end. just the characters meet very briefly & u keep wondering through the 1st half if there is any connection at all. and boy there is! its not just topical but a much deeper connection & the director keeps it ticking without a single dull moment with great élan.its the triumph of human spirit that touches u in the second half. the scene where allu arjun (yes the same guy who did the horrible varudu)returns the money or manoj(fully intense throughout)takes on goons who really are hooligans in the name of religion or the superbly crafted climax that takes ur breath away.this movie asserts everyone gets a second chance to redeem yourself no matter how terrible ur mistakes are.its just up to u to embrace it. it uses such dramatic situations to prove this that often makes u tearful and yet every character is so real that one can identify oneself in at least one of them.this is what makes this movie hit the jackpot.the acting is fine by all leading stars.after seeing this u keep wondering y Allu Arjun chooses some horrible movies.manoj bajpai shines in his role as Muslim fighting against the system but the guy who stand out with his intense role a wannabe rock star unwillingly ending up a patriot is Manoj.I know some of u may not like the ending but come-on aren't we tired of the same old stuff?this is contemporary movie making at its best & its prudent for us to embrace it & encourage such movie makers who make us proud to be Indians!!

I was really surprised to see the lead actors giving such a great performance. Hats off to them Arjun & Manoj. Both should be appreciated coming forward for such a fantastic film. Krish made a wonderful second flick after Gamyam. He dealt the subject very neatly and precisely. Nothing is more and nothing is less. After coming out of the theater I felt watching whole of the life in it. Thanks to Krish for presenting such a great film.If you want to watch a good film, Watch VEDAM. Feel the LIFE.Believe me you will miss something if you don't watch this movie!!My rating would be 9/10

The movie is good for Telugu industry definitely. The casting was good and a big experiment that gave some positive results.The first half of the movie doesn't have any story and tends to bore you. The script tried very hard to establish all the characters in the first half and doesn't concentrate on the story. But, the second half is power packed and gets the best of writing supported by performances. Nagayya as Ramulu is awesome. Arjun is his usual energetic. Anushka is sexy and innocent at the same time. Manchu Manoj is good for his role. Manoj Bajpai has done justice to his role.Overall, this movie has a potential to change the industry norms and standards if taken in right sense and elevate the movie making art. Full credit has to be given to Krish, the director.
