Veedokkade: Action Movie Lover’s Must Watch

I watched Veedokkada this past weekend - I loved it. Most of the reviews rated as an average flick, in my opinion, it is a must watch movie if you like no non-sense high-powered action movie. Undoubtedly, Surya is Leonardo of Indian Cinema. Tamanna is just OK, nothing great about her role or her act. She needs to take care in not becoming monatomic in her roles. Music is OK, it does not stand out. What stands out is Surya’s performance and action sequences.

Veedokkade definitely has a flavour of “Catch Me if You Can”, “Blood Diamond” and couple of other Hollywood picks. At personal level, I have visited Congo so I can certainly relate to the action scene they shoot in Congo. I was able to recollect my memories from Pointe Noir, Congo. Cinematography is simply superb. They wasted no time with unnecessary comedy track or over-dosage of love and romance. Arundathi movie got lot of applauses for sticking to the horror genre. Just like Arundathi, Veedokkade stuck to high-powered action sequences with routine and predictable story. I am also an aspiring actor so I can appreciate Surya’s finesse as maintaining boy-next-door image as well as highly intelligent smuggler. I particularly loved Prabhu’s role. I wish Veedokkade was a direct Telugu make, it does have traces of overact ion geared for Tamil movie-goers and they could have edited 10 to 15 min in the second half.

We must be proud of the quality of cinematography of Indian cinema and definitely watch Veedokkade on the big screen!!! I watched this movie with my wife and 15 yrs old son, my son loved this movie and my wife said it is OK. For action movie lovers, Veedokkade is a perfect movie to watch this summer.
