Veyil is a simple story about a young man who was a runaway as a teen returning home as a failure after about 15 years. What makes Veyil worth a watch it comes straight from the director's heart. Pasupathy is brilliant throughout the film as Murugesan and one can easily empathize with his character. Though the Kathir-Thangam (Bharath-Bhavana) episode looks forced into the otherwise smooth flow of the narration it helps to portray the striking difference between the successful Thangam and the fate-ridden Murugesan. The supporting cast is worth a mention, especially G.M. Kumar as the wounded father lives his role. Cinematography and music, with first time composer G.V.Prakash, strike a cord and blend with the narrative. Neat movie making.
