Vedaa offers a mixed experience, led by Sharavari's compelling performance. She delivers a range of emotions and excels in her role with strong expressions and good dialogue delivery, truly carrying the film's emotional weight. John Abraham, though mostly expressionless, surprisingly fits his character, where a lack of emotion is justified.
The first half of the movie works well, keeping the audience engaged with a balanced narrative. However, the film takes a nosedive when the typical, outdated one-man-army action scenes take over, dragging down the overall impact. This formulaic action, where one character single-handedly takes on entire forces, feels repetitive and unrealistic, making it hard to stay invested.
While the screenplay shows promise, the execution, especially with the action sequences, hurts the film's flow. Additionally, the background score fails to elevate the tense moments, adding to the overall drop in quality during the second half.
In summary, Vedaa starts strong but falters, particularly in its action scenes and sound design. It's a film with both high points and significant shortcomings, and I'd agree with a rating of around 6/10.
