Shankar's movie always carry expectation and the visitors will not be disappointed. The same is true in this film aswell. Shankar being a virtuoso Director, knows the tactic and produces only if the script is strong and sure to reach heights. His tactic really works.
Veyil is a result of director Vasanthabalan's fast moving ideas. The movie, with its characters and backdrops, is heart pouring and flows soothingly from begin to end. Even the sound tracks seem to soar in tandem with the rest of the movie and never lets the viewers keeps them off their seats. There is nothing standoffish about this movie that is over the sea level or beyond waves. It is very simple down to earth kinda and the protagonists characters are projected with realism.
The movie opens with a brawl involving the protagonist Murugesan(Pasupathy) involving against the background of dark, brooding rainstorm. After this, the camera rolls into flashback depicting Murugesan's hay days in rural Virundhunagar.
Murugesan's father (G.M.Kumar) butcher tries hard to bring up his children Pasupathy, Bharath and two daughters. The younger brother of Murugesan is Kathir(Bharath),voilent and vagabond. During his child hood days Murugesan decides to bunk school and loiter to cinema halls instead, when the truth reaches his father's ears he is heavily paid off. This makes him upset and he breakes the shackles and he runs out of the house and lands his foot in town and is employed as an assistant to a projection operator in a theatre. Romance blossoms between him and girl next door Thagam(Priyanka). But very soon she meets fate and perishes to ashes and the theatre is demolished. A heart broken Murugesan opts to go back to his home town after 20 yrs. He finds his father ruthless and his lovable brother Kathir running a successful ad agency. Meantime twilights grows between Kathir and Meenakshi(Bhavna). Murugesan spends his time with his childhood sweetheart Shreya Reddy.
What interests here is the protagonist Murugesan(Pasupathy) lively performance brilliantly potrayed like simple village man who is anguished by the guilt of being a progidial son not fulfilling his responsibilities, and the chemistry between him and the father is simply exceptional. Pasupathy steals the show with his touching potrayal of an ill fated man. Bharath carries off his role with ease. While Bhavna is adequate, Shriya Reddy perfectly fits the bill in guest role and once again proved her histronics in deglamourised looks.
Vasanthabalan's well-etched characters and strong screen play aid in maintaning an energetic pace throughout the movie has to be applauded. Music composer G.V.Prakash, A.R.Rahman's nephew is praise worthy considering that it is his maiden march to the music world. Cinematography by Madhi is another major plus point for the movie. Overall veyil is a movie full of life that keeps the viewers glued to their seats till the end.
Verdict : Torrid Desire
