My Movie – Vedam

Vedam, One of the very few Telugu cinemas that run around human values.

Hats off to the director Krish for the way he presented the movie. He first established the need and, gist of the characters and then slowly improvised them with the situations. The movie is so well connected that each and every scene in the first half has its fulfilling scene in the second half. For instance, in one of the very first scenes where Allu Arjun talks about keeping dead bodies in a coffin, one hasn't realized the importance of that scene until the climax. And same is the case with Manoj's mother talking about becoming hero.

There are no heroes and heroines in the movie, there are only characters. Kudos to everyone who acted in the movie keeping their image aside. All Arjun needs special attention here. His performance in realization scene in the hospital is his best in his career.

Another person that needs special attention is Keeravani. Undoubtedly he is one of the best music directors that tollywood has ever produced. Background score given by Keeravani particularly in the emotion scenes is worth mentioning.

One needs to understand the transition of Telugu cinema lately. Prasthanam then and Vedam now. Can you imagine a Telugu cinema with heroes getting killed in the end? (I earlier said there are no heroes in the movie but the usage of the word hero here corresponds to the heroic character they portrayed in the end.) Yes, we are talking about the new transition of Telugu cinema. This could be a trend setter and definitely a curtain raiser for multistarrers again in Telugu cinema.

I bet Krish has done brilliant homework and I think he succeeded what he intended for. He highlighted the importance of money in our lives. Thanks to Keeravani for penning such a beautiful lyric "Ruppi Ruppi Ruupaayi".

I understand the movie lacks some entertainment in terms of comedy, but the movie deserves to be entertained by all classes.

If "gamyam" is where Krish wants to go, Vedam is what made him reach there.
