In this Vedam Telugu movie Allu Arjun playing a role of cable worker. in Vedam movie Allu Arjun has tried a new and strange look as he is playing cable worker role so he worn cable around his shoulder.
In Vedam movie you can watch five different types of stories.
Allu Arjun [Cable Raju] wants to marry a rich girl [Deeksha Seth] and become rich; wants to get rid of the 'basti' living. Rajesh plays his friend.
Manoj [Vivek Chakravarthy] wants to become a rockstar; keeping aside her mother's wish of joining army. Lekha Washington is his lady love, who also is a part of his own band.
Anushka [Amalapuram Saroja] is a sex worker working under a lady; wants to get out from that place and set her own company she done 100% to her character.
Manoj Bajpai [Qureshia] is an innocent muslim who lost his to-be-born twins because of religion clashes.
Nagayya [Ramulu] is a poor weaver who wants to give his grandchild education at any cost; lands up in Hyd to sell his d-i-l's kidney
All the five characters happen to land in a common place where the movie takes off towards the climax, where humanity takes over terrorism.
Manchu Manoj rocks in the movie and allu arjun had a descent character,anuska is key to the film. Posani in a brief role; Brahmi in a small role, which does not provide great laughter. NO comedy at all to laugh.Songs were very good on screen; Shot well; Placed very well.
Artists Performance
When certain directors make movie, they make sure that each and every character is impactful and well-etched. Krish is one of those very few directors in Telugu cinema. Allu Arjun comes up with an awesome performance as cable Raju who pretends as a rich guy to his girlfriend. His performance in realization scenes towards climax is his best in his career. He has also entertained as a brat. Manoj Manchu comes up with another honest performance as an aspiring rock star. His performance in the hospital scenes and the scene with his mother is excellent. He performed the live action in the scene where he breaks the glass of car. Anushka titillates as the prostitute Amalapuram Saroja. She oozed sexiness and effused the vulnerability/innocence needed for the character. Nagayya is authentic for a first-timer. However, a better dubbing would have helped his character as his voice is little feminine. Manoj Bajpai comes up with power-packed performance as a righteous Muslim who is troubled by the cop. Deeksha Seth is sexy with nice smile and dimples. She has done well. The voice dubbed to her is excellent and that voice suited the Telugu we hear from the upmarket Hyderabad girls. Lekha Washingon is good as a companion of Manoj Manchu. Satyam Rajesh is excellent as side kick of hero. The person who has done the hijra role is the personal makeup man of Anushka and that person did an excellent job. Ravi Prakash comes up with his finest performance as a cop who hates Muslims. Brahmanandam is entertaining in a small role. Raghu Babu, Pruthvi and Posani Krishna Murali are entertaining in their brief roles. Giri is good in the noticeable character of a pimp. Director Krish who appeared in Che Guevara get-up as a naxalite in Gamyam appears again in Vedam as an entertaining Baba.
Technical departments
Story - screenplay - direction: It is a multiple story film where all the stories converge into the climax of the movie. It is extremely difficult task to narrate five different stories in one film in a gripping style. Krish who is just one film old comes up with terrific work in his second movie. He connected all the stories with brilliant screenplay. Each and every character in this movie has human element in it. Screenplay of the movie is authentic though similar pattern is being followed since Ameros Perros (2000) and was popularized by the Oscar winning Crash (2004) movie. Krish has shown how he sticks to the core human elements without losing the undercurrent commercial elements with his debut film Gamyam. He maintains the same philosophy in this multi-storied film as well. First half of the movie looks little disjointed because, the director has to establish and narrate five different stories. He connects all the stories well and gave a gripping narration in the second half. He would have started the movie with the accident episode (pre-climax scene). If he had started the movie with that (like he did for Gamyam movie), then the audiences would have got connected to the first half more intently. He probably avoided it because there will be a direct comparison with Crash movie. The transformation of characters from having selfish goal to do selfless service might appear similar to crash where all positive characters turn negative and vice versa. The climax scene reminds us of 26/11 Mumbai episode.
Other departments: music by Keeravani is good. Songs are nicely integrated into story line except for Allu Arjun’s party song. Background music is very good and very apt for the movie. Dialogues by Krish are an asset for the movie. He penned entertaining dialogues and humanity-oriented ones extremely well. Cinematography of the film is of top-notch quality. Action sequences by Ram – Lakshman are well-choreographed. Editing by Sravan is excellent. Art direction by Rajeev Nair is nice. Producers Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni should be appreciated for producing sensible/coming-of-age film like Vedam (more so because they come from the family of K Raghavendra Rao who is known for commercial cinema).
Analysis: First half of the movie gets interesting towards the interval. Second half is good. It is a big experiment to do such a sensible movie with commercial actors like Allu Arjun, Manoj Manchu and Anushka. Three of these actors should be complimented for coming forward to act in this movie. Such big names help in taking this movie into masses. Vedam also shows the finest taste of producers. The success of Vedam will propel sensible producers to encourage new subjects and different screenplays in Telugu film industry. Krish proves himself with Vedam that he is a director who can take Telugu sensible films beyond regional borders. This film will be liked by classes and A center audiences. If masses and B/C centers patronages Vedam, it will not only do good to the film, but to the entire Telugu film industry. On a whole, Vedam is a good film. Please watch it and encourage good/meaningful cinema.

FINALLY 1ST WAS AVERAGE AND 2ND HALF DRAGGED MORE AND FELT BORED AND FINALLY AN ANTI CLIMAX. THE FILM ONLY FOR CLASS AUDIENCE AS THERE ARE NO MASS ELEMENTS IN IT BUT FAMILY AUDIENCE MIGHTN'T COME DUE TO SAROJA(ANUSKA CHARACTER) . FINALLY IT MIGHT BE A CRITIC'S MOVIE NOT FOR AUDIENCE TO WATCH THE MOVIE.
RATING : 3.5/5
