My Movie – Vedam

Let me try to remember the last time I came out of a cinema and said "Man, what a movie"......well, it was for the movie hangover. It was about an year ago and i still reminisce some moments from the movie.

Let me attempt to memorize the previous time the characters of a movie traveled back with me from the silver screen. 3 idiots may fit the bill if i compromise.

Let me try to recall the last time I loved a telugu film sooo very much that i felt sorry to leave the theater. My memory rockets back to bommarillu, lingers there for a second and crashes without an answer.

Without wasting anymore time, i should tell you that Vedam will be my answer to any such dilemna for years to come.

Vedam is a roller coaster made out of human emotions. One can see arrogance in manoj, greed and humor in AA, absolute surrender and helplessness in ramulu, insecurity in manoj bajpai and color in anushka. But there's one thing they all have in common - goodness..the movie is all about how situations bring about the best out of people who are stereotyped into certain categories.

Every scene has a meaning and a calculated purpose..pick any scene in the first half and it has an ironical manifestation in the second half....including manoj's "one day I'll be famous" and bunny's "basti lo pothe ghanta lo lepali" dialogs.....not a single scene is wasted and the screenplay is extremely riveting..i have tens of favorite scenes in the movie..though I have an irresistible urge to share and relive some moments from the movie, it is best seen than said.

Allu arjun was FANTASTIC as cable raju...i was thinking allari naresh could have generated better humor till the classy shade of AA unfolded..he was just unreal as cable raju..Allu arjun and comedian rajesh's scenes were hilarious...manoj was good towards the end..ramulu and padma were very sympathetic..the police officer who tortures manoj bajpai was great towards the end.

Every person coming out of the theater had a tear in their eyes..and everyone clapped towards the end.

Personally, it is my THE favorite telugu cinema till date..for the love of OUR language i desperately yearned for a telugu cinema that compares to the experience of a well made world cinema.

With Vedam, telugu cinema is back....
