‘Vikram’ one such Actor, who is the care of address of all the experiments, challenging roles and accepting those films, that any other could not even think of doing. Many of his experiments made a positive turn and some did not work positive, but to the star dome and recognition he has attained, all these does not matter to him though. This Tamil Hero’s another Telugu film (dubbed in Telugu) “Veedinthe” released today. Let us have a look if this film managed to attract the audience or not;

Story
Shankar (Vikram) is a gym boy who aspires to become a bi villain in films. He encounters with an old man Dakshina Murthy (K Vishwanadh), who runs an orphanage. His own son (Avinash) is after him to just grab that property to his political benefits. He is supported by Ranga Nayaki (Sana), a political party leader. Now Shankar turns savior to Murthy and the orphanage. Rest of the story is about how Shankar fights with Nayaki and her right hand Mustafa (Pradeep Rawat). Well, the Heroine’s role is not much of a importance as it is just limited to some song sequences and some part of the film.
Analysis :
Director Suseenthiran made debut in Tamil with Vennila Kabaddi Kuzhu which was later remade in Telugu as Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu in under Satya’s direction. His second film in Tamil is Naan Mahaan Alla with Karthi and Kajal. It was dubbed into Telugu as Naa Peru Shiva and did well. With this track record, Suseenthiran raised hopes over Rajapattai (Veedinthe Tamil title) as he has an actor like Vikram by his side. Sadly, Suseenthiran didn’t try to utilize the ‘actor’ Vikram, but instead banked on the ‘star’ Vikram. Veedinthe is a commercial potboiler with so called mass masala elements. the story line is much predict6able and holds no interest in watching the film, further. Though, Vikram is an extra ordinary Actor, he has not been used to a major extent in the film. “Veedinthe” is like any other commercial film.
Performance :
Vikram is good as the lead man. He has worked out well to suit the character. Watch out for his hand to hand fight with Pradeep Rawat. He is as sincere and dedicated as ever. He donned various getups too. Deesksha Seth is confined to the first hour. She is hardly seen in the second hour. She did an Okay job. K. Vishwanadh is a revelation. He usually plays respectable old man kind of roles. This movie shows the lighter side of the legendary director. He walked away with all the laurels. Sana is fine as cold blooded politician. Pradeep Rawat is apt. Avinash and others did their job. Songs by Yuvan Shankar Raja are a big letdown. Except for Laddu laddu none of the songs entertains. Background score is fine though. Editing is neat and cinematography is good. Action part is over the top. Direction by Suseenthiran is neat, but he should have written a strong script to make use of Vikram’s caliber. Good opportunity got wasted on a poor script.
Final Word “Veedinthe” – though the story line is thoughtful, the same could not been carried in the story telling…
