'Veeran' Review: A lightning bolt of entertainment strikes Tamil cinema

Superhero movies have frequently found success in Bollywood, such as 'Krrish' and 'Ra.One'. However, the South Indian film industry has been lacking prominent homegrown superheroes until recently. The Malayali audience celebrated their first indigenous superhero, 'Minnal Murali.' And now, the people of Tamil Nadu have their very own superhero 'Veeran,' directed by ARK Saravan, with Hiphop Tamizha Adhi donning the superhero persona in this film.

Lately, it seems like a common theme among superheroes is gaining their powers through a lightning bolt, and Veeran follows suit. This movie revolves around a Kumaran (played by Hiphop Tamizha Adhi) who is struck by lightning, resulting in the emergence of extraordinary abilities that drastically alter his life. As the story progresses, he realizes the responsibility he holds and embarks on a journey to protect and fight for the people of his village along with his two friends Sakkarai (played by Sassi) and Selvi (played by Athira Raj). While adhering to the familiar superhero movie template, this film manages to intrigue the audience by cleverly incorporating humour throughout. Despite following a conventional structure, the inclusion of comedic elements elevates the overall experience, making it an enjoyable and refreshing superhero venture.

The movie's first half-hour may give the impression of a slow start, potentially leaving you sceptical. However, as the story progresses, the plot gradually unravels and gains momentum. A prominent element emerges in the form of an evil scientist villain and his brother, who have sinister intentions for Kumaran's village. The villagers, resolute in their stance, refuse to succumb to the nefarious plans due to the presence of a small temple housing the idol of 'Veeran,' a legendary figure from local mythology. And the journey only gets more enjoyable from there. The village is teeming with fascinating characters that enhance the film's entertainment value, and on numerous occasions, these characters step into the spotlight, captivating the audience.

When it comes to performances, Hiphop Tamizha Adhi delivers a convincing portrayal of a neighbourhood lad dedicated to the betterment of his village. Sassi and Athira also deliver decent performances. However, the true highlight of the movie lies in the chemistry between Munishkanth and Kaali Venkat. The duo seamlessly takes control of the movie's comedy element, stealing the show. Vinay Rai undoubtedly excels in his portrayal of the evil scientist, but at times, it feels like his villainous role was sidelined, lacking significant depth or impact in the overall story.

Veeran may not present a completely unique storyline or offer extraordinary elements. However, it is still a highly enjoyable film. ARK Saravan deserves praise for his efforts in bringing this entertaining movie to life. Apart from the humour, there are certain scenes, like the grand introduction of 'Veeran' as he gallops triumphantly on a horse, that truly stands out and leave a lasting impact. All in all, Veeran proves to be a good entertainer with potential for a sequel.

Veeran movie review: Tamil superhero comedy with good intentions and unique rural backdrop

Veeran movie review: adhi shines in the tamil superhero film written and directed by ark saravan. it is fun, but also interesting thanks to its rural setup..

ARK Saravan , who made a strong impact with his debut film Maragatha Nanayam, a fantasy comedy, a few years ago, returns with a superhero comedy, which is also a concoction of a few other genres. What really makes Veeran standout from other Tamil superhero films from the past is its attempt to set the story in a small village, making it a first-of-its-kind attempt. Also read: Good Night review

The premise of Veeran

Adhi plays Kumaran, an atheist, who gets struck by lighting at a very young age. As he takes time to recover from the incident, he starts to develop some powers at the same time. One of his powers is his ability to produce electrical discharge, also known as electric arc. Soon after the incident, Kumaran shifts to Singapore with his sister and returns 14 years later after a premonition warns him about an imminent threat to his village.

Upon his return, Kumaran unravels the mystery in his village. A multinational corporation - lead by mad scientist cum businessman Vinai Rai - is planning a big power project which will require the villagers to sign off their lands. Kumaran senses the sinister plan of Vinai, and makes it his life’s mission to stop the project from taking off.

Veeran is fun

Veeran isn’t a straightforward superhero film as it smartly strikes a balance between being a comedy based in rural India, and an emotional drama about one's faith in spirituality. It’s a very interesting idea that pits science and spirituality. It is explored quite convincingly, and full marks to director Saravan for treating it smartly.

Unlike most superhero films that chase grandeur, Veeran dumbs down every popular trope associated with the genre and that really works in the film’s favour quite well. When it isn’t a superhero film, Veeran is fun and consistently entertaining. The film, unlike is its first half, definitely needs trimming in the second half which does dip in quite a few places.

Action sequences are the highlight

Adhi, who has so far done films that have majorly appealed to young audiences, shines in a film that caters to all sections of the audience. As a youngster struggling to manage his newly acquired superhero powers, he turns in a very believable performance. The visual effects play a key role in the action sequences and the film manages to impress on that front as well. One of the highlights of the film has to be the highly inventive action sequences. Vinay as the main antagonist is the film’s weak link as he plays a character with no major purpose.

As a superhero film, Veeran achieves something that’s rarely been explored before. You don’t have to make a larger-than-life film, especially in this genre, to make audiences root for the hero. Here, Adhi’s superhero powers are never made to glorify his character. Another interesting aspect of the film has to be its rural backdrop - the whole village setup - which Saravan uses very effectively to keep the narration largely engaging. Comedy is Sarvan’s strength and he really makes a mark in that area jn Veeran.

Film: Veeran

Director: ARK Saravan

Cast: Adhi, Vinay Rai, Muniskanth and Kaali Venkat

Veeran review: Director ARK Saravan’s superhero film makes some pertinent points

The movie narrates a simple story that can be easily understood with minimal effort and is worth a watch.

Published:Aug 10, 2023

Watch-worthy!

Director ARK Saravan comes up with a simple but smart plot in his fantasy film  Veeran , which by the way, is being claimed as Tamil cinema’s first superhero film.

The film’s story might be simple, but it actually looks to make some meaningful points. Just for attempting to do so, the film and the director deserve a pat on the back.

Before we get into a detailed analysis of the film and its pros and cons, here’s the story in a nutshell.

Team ‘Veeran’. (Supplied)

Kumaran (Hiphop Tamizha Aadhi) of Veeranur gets struck by a thunderbolt while returning from school one day. He is taken to Chennai for treatment and later shifted to Singapore for further medical care.

Years pass and he returns as a young man to Veeranur, only to find that a corporate company is in the process of laying cables through his village and the neighbouring regions for generating power through lasers.

The company is headed by a ruthless scientist/businessman named Sharath (Vinay Rai) who is well aware of the fact that the project is extremely hazardous.

But he keeps the villagers in the dark about the risks associated with the power project for his selfish gains.

Kumaran as Veeran

Kumaran acquires the ability to control the minds of those around him for brief periods. He also can discharge electric arcs because of the thunder/lightning strike he suffered as a boy.

So, Kumaran decides to use his powers to stop the corporate from implementing the dangerous project.

He disguises himself as the long-forgotten guardian deity of the village — Veeran — and looks to create awareness among the people about the hazards of the project.

Does Kumaran succeed in stopping the corporate from implementing the hazardous project? How does the corporate headed by Sharath look to get Veeran out of the way? The film gives answers to all these questions and more.

What works.

Veeran  looks to narrate a simple story that can be easily understood with minimal effort.

Despite dealing with a fantasy subject, the film has been made in such a fashion that one is easily able to accept what is shown on screen.

Nothing about the superhero’s skills or powers comes across as being awkward or out of place on the screen. That by itself is a big achievement as it helps the character gain acceptance.

Apart from narrating an entertaining story, the film subtly tries to make some pertinent points. For instance, it tries to put across the message that hard work and discipline are sure to deliver results, even if one’s prayers don’t work at times.

The friendship between Kumaran, Selvi (Athira Raj) and Sakkarai (Sassi) is heartening. There is a genuine warmth between the three friends, which makes the story more relatable.

Also Read: ‘Pareshan’ is a madcap village story with the right dose of humour

What doesn’t work.

These are quite a few in number. The film has several gaping holes concerning logic.

In a sequence, Sharath finds a way to stop Kumaran/Veeran from generating the power arcs. However, he doesn’t employ the strategy when he needs to employ it the most and lets Kumaran get the better of him.

A still from ‘Veeran’. (Supplied)

Further, Veeran has two talented comedians — Kaali Venkat and Munishkanth — to provide humour. Unfortunately, their acts don’t evoke laughter. At the most, they manage to get you to smile on some occasions.

However, what Kaali Venkat and Munishkanth fail to do, certain situations in the film succeed in doing. Yes, some situational comedy sequences involving small-time actors work big time in the film.

A case in point would be the sequence where a granny at a wedding function makes a big impact with her seemingly simplistic questions.

Further, Veeran has a simple but significant plot that needed to be told in a sharp, crisp manner. The editor seems to have failed on this count.

What should have ideally been a 135-minute film finally ends up being a 155-minute film because of some really long sequences and this could have well been trimmed.

Technical aspects.

The film’s music is a plus and its hero Hiphop Tamizha Aadhi, who has also scored the music for the film, does a much better job as a music director than he does as an actor.

The movie has some stunning fight sequences and the stunt choreographers seem to have done a mighty fine job.

Despite its flaws, Veeran comes across as a reasonably good film that is worth a watch.

MADURAVEERAN MOVIE REVIEW CLICK TO RATE THE MOVIE

The combo of actor Shanmuga Pandian and director PG Muthiah strikes with a rural-based action entertainer with Maduraveeran that talks about a village, unity amongst its people, and Jallikattu in length. For a film like this revolving around an emotion, which moved our audiences in the past, a good plot backed up with neat performances is elementary to make the very emotions come across as a natural.

Maduraveeran has a school of good actors like Samuthirakani, Vela Ramamoorthy, Mime Gopi, G Marimuthu, PL Thenappan and Bala Saravanan, who bring out the apt performances required for this sort of a film. Samuthirakani pulls off an extraordinary performance - his flashback portion is something to watch out for. The other actors perform their roles well too. Bala Saravanan provides the much-needed comic relief at regular intervals. Playing the female lead, Meenakshi has little to do with respect to the main plot.

PG Muthiah, who doubles up as the cinematographer as well, has decided to keep it simple and has underplayed the character of his lead actor Shanmuga Pandian. This works well in the first half and it seems like the actor has done what he could with the scope extended to him.

However, in the latter half that demands a slightly more expressive performance and some crisp, action-packed emotion-based sequences, Shanmuga Pandian could have pushed up the ante and played his role slightly louder. Since the character has been underplayed throughout, the impact created by someone who carries the entire plot on his shoulders seems to be diluted.

A particular portion in the second half that requires a special mention is the one featuring the Jallikattu footage recorded during the epic protest that took place in Marina. But apart from just bringing back this emotion, there is also quite a lot to the plot, which makes the Jallikattu footage portion quite naturally placed. Maduraveeran also talks about how unity amongst villagers is essential and what it could bring them. It also touches upon the sensitive topic of casteism and how there shouldn’t be discrimination based on it. When these elements are topped with the Jallikattu emotion placed in a good plot, you get Maduraveeran .

As for the technical aspects, a few aerial shots are tacky. However, credits have to be given to the director for a smart selection of shots that show his maturity. Music by Santhosh Dhayanidhi is decent and so is the edit by Praveen KL.

The last 45 minutes of the film have a lot to reveal, with the twists coming in as a surprise for a majority of the audiences. This definitely is a high point in the film and the best part about this portion is that all the characters seem to have a genuine motive from their point of view that heads the story in an interesting direction. The screenplay has been sketched out pretty well.

On the whole, Maduraveeran has enough elements that would both inform as well as entertain audiences with its sensible plot backed up by decent performances. Besides certain humour sequences that reduce the seriousness of a few scenes and a less-than-impactful performance from the lead cast, Maduraveeran is a neat rural entertainer that is worth a watch for its interesting line, and the Jallikattu emotion.

Veeran Movie Review: A Desi Superhero with a Rural Twist June 2, 2023

Who is veeran what is the story , (no spoilers).

Veeran is about a man named Kumaran, played by Hiphop Adhi, who gains superpowers due to a childhood incident. He has the ability to control minds for a short period and can discharge electric arcs. The movie is set in a village where a corporate body, led by a character named Sharath, plans to implement a dangerous project.

Kumaran decides to use his powers to protect his village and its people. He disguises himself as the long-forgotten guardian deity of the village, Veeran. The film’s narrative revolves around Kumaran’s journey in stopping the corporate project and how Sharath (Vinay Rai) plans to remove Veeran from their path.

The movie directed by ARK Saravan, explores themes of Myth, Massy-Superpower and village absurd comedy. Despite being a superhero movie, it tried to keep its touch with reality and village life, and these aspects make it interesting. The humor, action, and music add to the charm of the film.

It’s Not Minnal Murali, It’s a Mix-Bag

Veeran” does share some similarities with other films like Vijay’s Velayudham , Nikhil’s Karthikeya , Ram Kumar’s Mundasupatti, and Basil Joseph’s Minnal Murali. However, in the end it maintains its own identity, thanks to Da Vinci Code (Maybe an inspiration 🙂 ).

Veeran reminds us of “Velayudham” because of the dialogues, costumes, and the climax, where the protagonist assumes a guardian deity’s identity to protect his people.

The character sketch of Veeran bears a resemblance to “Karthikeya”.

The narration around the temple in “Veeran” is quite similar to “Mundasupatti”, and there is even a dialogue referencing it.

Minnal Murali seems to have inspired Veeran in its plot and acts. Even the character of Kaali Venkat in Veeran appears to be similar to Aju Varghese’s role in Minnal Murali. Both characters provide comic relief and being a detective behind the main super-heroes.

The major difference between Veeran and Minnal Murali is in the writing. Minnal Murali has a steady, well-paced character development and transformation into a superhero, whereas Veeran tends to be more sudden in these aspects because of its poor writing.

What Could Have Been Better: Writing

Firstly , the pacing in the first half of the movie could have been better. The story’s development and character introductions felt sudden and could have been more gradual to allow the audience to connect better with the characters and their transformations.

Secondly, the narrative suffers from various logical loopholes. This indicates that the script could have used a little more time and thought. A more tightly woven plot would have significantly enhanced the movie’s overall impact.

Thirdly, the utilization of the superhero aspect of Veeran could have been done more creatively. The film does not fully explore the potential of Adhi’s superpowers, especially in the confrontations.

Finally, the villain characters, played by Vinay Rai & R Badree, could have been more compelling. A stronger antagonist would have added more tension to the plot, making the story more engaging for the viewers.That’s what worked best for Minnal Murali.

Why You Should Try Veeran

Unique setting.

Veeran is set in a rural backdrop, offering a fresh and inter

esting take on the usual urban-centric superhero movies. The depiction of village life and its nuances add to the film’s charm.

This week, there are two super-heroes Spiderman and Veeran, I believe children should try this different superhero. Let them get a different perspective.

Superhero Theme

For fans of superhero movies, Veeran presents a novel, desi superhero, which isn’t very common in Indian cinema , especially Tamil cinema. The unique powers of mind control and discharging electric arcs set our hero apart.Thanks to Minnal Murali for this initiative.

Performance of Hiphop Adhi, R Badree & others.

Hiphop Adhi, as the lead character, delivers a solid performance . His portrayal of the superhero character, with all its complexities, is commendable and a major reason to watch the movie. R Badree nailed his role as a villain.

Good use of Comedy & Myth

The film manages to weave in subtle-humor throughout the plot, making it entertaining. Especially, the situational comedy sequences involving R Badree is a special treat. There is a surprise comedy for you from Munshikanth and Kaali Venkat in the climax.

The way Veeran(Kumaran) uses Myth, is intriguing, it clearily shows how religious systems works, this is where I felt like Veeran is a mediocre Mundassupatti. But still it’s worth considering there are no creepy romantic track.

My Suggestion

Veeran doesn’t quite reach the heights of films like “Minnal Murali”, it still manages to entertain and engage the audience to a certain extent.People were laughing and clapping at theatre, especially children enjoyed the most, I guess.

Remember the first half is slow-paced & poorly written, but in the second half Veeran team did a better job. You may find some thrilling moments.

If you’re a fan of superhero movies and are interested in seeing a different take on the genre, Veeran could be worth a watch. But go in without high expectations , and you might find yourself enjoying the film.
