Veda Movie Story Review:
Aseem Arora’s story is a simple one. Aseem Arora’s script is full of big moments. However, there are some flaws in the writing. Aseem Arora’s dialogues are sharp.
Nikhil Advani’s direction is fair. He deserves congratulations for showing a rare aspect of caste atrocities in Hindi cinema. Some of the scenes are disturbing but they help as the audience feels the pain of the lower caste population and the discrimination they face on many fronts.
He has impressed technically also. The scene where Veda is attacked on the highway in the first part is shot from a distance and this adds to the impact. The massive scenes of Abhimanyu and Veda teaching a lesson to the villains will be loved by the audience.
On the other hand, the film is predictable and there are no twists or unexpected developments in the story. After a certain limit, a lot of cinematic liberties are seen in the film.
For example, it is surprising how Abhimanyu managed to escape from the temple without changing his appearance. Completion is a long way off.
To see that goons are attacking the High Court and the police do not come to the rescue, it is too much. Actually, the climax is the weakest part of the film.
Vedas Official Trailer – Hindi | In theaters on August 15. John Abraham Sharvari
Veda Movie Review Performance:
John Abraham has minimal dialogues and talks with his eyes and fists. Performance wise he managed to do a good job, although he could have done better. Sharvari stole the show and once again proved why she is a promising talent.
He also gets a chance to give a good performance. He is not helpless; He is a fighter and the audience will like this. Abhishek Banerjee has given a strong performance and has also used his voice to play the villain.
Kshitij Chauhan leaves a big impression. Ashish Vidyarthi (Jitendra’s uncle) is polite and makes us laugh. Paritosh Sand (Uttamlal; Abhimanyu’s father-in-law) and Kumud Mishra (Ved’s uncle) have done well in small roles. Rajendra Chawla, Tanvi Malhara, Anurag Thakur, Danish Hussain (Sunil Mahajan) and Kapil Nirmal (Inspector Purohit) are fine. Tamannaah Bhatia is trustworthy. Mouni Roy is looking great in the cameo.
Veda Sangeet and other technical aspects:
The songs are bad. ‘Mummy’ Memorable only for his painting. the same goes for‘Holidays’. ‘Excessive’ And ‘threads’ Failed to woo. Kartik Shah’s background score is commendable, especially the theme when Abhimanyu is training Veda.
Malay Prakash’s cinematography is stylish and adds to the cinematic appeal. Priya Suhas’ production design and Ayesha Dasgupta’s costumes are absolutely vibrant. Amin Khatib’s action is a bit bloody and some scenes involve applause and whistles. Mahir Zaveri’s editing is functional and the second half could have been cut by 5-10 minutes.
Veda Movie Review Conclusion:
Overall, VEDAA is a predictable story with a weak climax and an unremarkable second half. It will struggle to make any impact at the box office.
