Vedha

I saw it today on television and I literally feel very guilty about it ,how can such a fantastic movie didn't deserved what it's has to be deserved, 😔 In ancient India women are treated as Devi and represent as a symbol of warriors this film literally defined it ,it really shows what real feminism is it ,what can women do if she decided something ,women is born warriors You will find very negative comments about it ,I really think that these comments are of either a person who doesn't want u to see what a women can do ,or these comments are from so called feminist who doesn't want u to show what really naari is ,what Devi is!!!

Don't believe me or others just watch It !!

Don't see the stupid and waste fellows reviews.. PLEASE watch this movie... Today... Real facts movie's no one can seeing and encouraging... they're wanting useless movie's... Yes.... It's true.. How they're giving Single Star....use less fellows... However movie is good.. don't miss this one... One of the greatest movie than RRR and Pathan.. these are un natural movie's... Siva Rajkumar acting and all other acting is excellent and the crew is done their job good.. The director has not compromised to his film and affords are very good.. don't think about the violence... One of the part of movie.

I must say Vedha is an excellent movie. Those who have mentioned about violance and hero centric in reviews, trust me those reviews are like spam. Violence is there in like 80/100 Indian movies. Ignore those reviews. Vedha is an excellent movie. I can say it's a good comeback for Shivanna. Harsha hasn't done a good job recently but this one is lit. The colour grading is so good and suits perfectly for the movie. And the characterization is entirely magnificent. Great choices. All kannada talents used. The negative point is the short summary they have put on internet which is not that catchy. This movie should have released simultaneously on all languages.

When movies like "777 CHARLIE" & "KANTARA"are striving hard getting national recognition,directors like Harsha are adding cheap thrills and gory violent and bloody pointless revenge drama to fill the pockets of producers making way to stay in limelight ....what's women empowerment is it just hero on a killing spree hunting social evils ...Ghanavi laxman and Umashree are the character's to look upon trying to save the movie that falls flat with poor writing and baseless plot...Being Shivraj Kumar's 125th film fails to create a magic or a milestone impact could have wisely chosen a better script ... Overall better avoid watching it to save ur valuable time.

At core, Vedha's story is done to death kind as we have seen this story unfold multiple times before. What makes this stand apart is how Harsha builds the story around his women characters than his male lead. Not that it is sensible, it mostly sticks to murder as the solution / justice. Starting in the present day, the narrative goes through non-linear style jumping from 80's to 60's comfortably. With the father - daughter duo on a killing spree, clearly to avenge the death of their mother, the story is about what really happened for the duo to take law into their hands in that brutal fashion.

Vedha remains a straight forward story told in non-linear style. Probably why it felt Harsha having more control over his script than say Bhajarangi 2 where he overstuffed the screenplay making it too much for him to handle. There isn't much deviation so Harsha's growth as a director / storyteller is visible. Like his Bhajarangi 2, even this initially had superficial dialogues and dialogue delivery but thankfully it didn't last long. The pace does drop frequently but that is more to do with the nature of the script with minimal space for entertaining scenes.

The true strength of Vedha apart from making style is definitely the performances. Shivanna on his 125th film is comfortable in downplaying his character and letting others shine. His is a matured performance where he roars only when he is required to. Aditi Sagar does well with limited dialogues firmly supporting Shivanna. Ganavi Laxman is good in her role but some of her dialogues were hard to understand due to the dialect. Shweta Chengappa did shine in a major scene which drew non stop whistles. The veteran Umashri shows off why the character poses no challenge to her and entertains well.

Since the story isn't new, it has hangover of several films but not enough to ruin the experience. Vedha still delivers despite extreme violence and pacing issues. The gimmicks do land without turning cringe which is an added advantage. Whenever the narrative stalls, the performances make up for it.
