Vedaa

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 However, the film takes a nosedive when the typical, outdated one-man-army action scenes take over, dragging down the overall impact.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.

This movie had a great start and actually has you engaged up until the intermission. After that point it just seems like either the director changed or was totally confused and lost. The last 20-30 minutes were not needed and a waste of time. The message was clear and had good meaning but executed badly after the intermission.

Acting is decent by Sharavari and okay by the villain. John was good as he did justice to the role and action sequences. Too many songs, although I liked the Holi one, they were not needed. If the movie continued into with the 2nd half as it did in the first I would've given this a 9 star.

I was waiting to watch this movie on the OTT platform. After seeing it I thank my stars for not watching it on the big screen after paying Rs. 200, which I think is the ridiculously lowest movie ticket nowadays. The movie is filled with action packed scenes but not a single scene is crafted in a believable way. The screenplay is crass and the action scenes are hard to believe. I think nowadys filmakers are only interested in making super hero movies and this is exactly what it has turned out to be. Even superhero movies in Hollywood have a semblance of believability in their action scenes. I was pained to see Sharvari give a good performance in this ridiculous movie. Some of the worth-watching movies that John Abraham had produced earlier were Vicky Donor, Madras Cafe, and Batla House that had some semblance of intelligent scenes in them. They were worth-watching to a great extent. I fail to understand why a filmaker has to nosedive and insult the intelligence of his audience to this extent.

John Abraham is massively underrated! The movie is really good. It's always pleasant to see good action movies made in India and Vedaa (2024) is one of them.

The film has a good blend of different genres... Mainly and namely Drama, Thriller and ofcourse Action! The story too is on an important topic which though many of us in the city may not be able to relate to completely but I won't be surprised if it still is very much a reality in certain parts of our land and those who have suffered from it will appreciate this movie even more.

Though at times the plot can seem predictable, the movie is never boring and the entire team led by John Abraham as the lead hold the attention of the audience very well.

I was disappointed that there weren't more people in the theatre to watch this movie. Such films need to be promoted. The Indian film industry has a lot of potential and until good content is appreciated and most importantly correctly, our industry won't be able to grow well.

Regarding John Abraham I also watched another movie of his about two years ago in which he is a super soldier and I liked that too. John is easily atleast one of the best Action Stars not only in Bollywood but pan India. It's surprising to know that such a star didn't even intend to become an actor growing up. Anyway good for him and us too because he has been a part of many good projects.

To conclude I wish the entire team of Vedaa all the best and I hope that along with being a critical success the movie is also a box office hit so that producers in India won't shy away from making good movies no matter who the star is. Once again I'll state that this movie was REALLY GOOD and you need to watch it especially if love Drama/ Action films, because if you don't then you will definitely regret not watching this good an Indian movie in a theatre.

Living in an Independent India, not being able to understand how certain castes live, this movie is an eye opener and, a true form of art executed by John Abraham and the team. I thank the entire team on working on such a brilliant Indian movie after ages.

Vedha is a cinematic triumph that captivates with its intense storytelling, stunning visuals, and powerful performances.

The music score complements the film perfectly, resonating with the tone and elevating key moments. The film also excels in its technical aspects, with impressive production design, costume design, and visual effects that immerse the viewer in the world of Vedha.

Vedha is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates quality cinema. It's a film that will stay with you long after the credits roll, leaving you with plenty to ponder and appreciate. Highly recommended!
