This movie is soo thrilling and interesting. Everyone acted well. Kv Anand just nailed it. Few scenes could have been deleted. Good movie. Music was good and songs were excellent.
After a long time, it was nice to see Tamil cinema for what its known for, slick production values. Ayan brings out that very well thanks to the tight story which does not bore you, slick action sequences (especially the Congo chase scene) and good acting. Surya is in his element as a young smuggler. Akashdeep Saigal seems a bit over the top as a stereo typical villain but seems to hold his own. Other actors support the story well. What is nice about this movie is no unnecessary masala and sub plots to mar the overall tight storyline. Kudos!
Watch the movie for some refreshing acting by Surya and company. Watch it for virgin locales hitherto unexplored in contemporary domestic cinema i.e. Congo. Watch it for the tight storyline minus the regular masala.

I watched this movie quite a few times, just watched it again cause liked it in my childhood and I wanted to know how I would feel about it now.
And it still remained amazing to me how the movie keeps the viewers focused while still maintaining the elements necessary for a full-fledged commercial blockbuster. Of course, there are unnecessary scenes in this like in very movie, but the good scenes outweigh the unnecessary ones in my opinions. All actors (especially Surya and Karunas) were well utilized (didn't like Jagan's character that much though, not for the acting but for how his character was written and he was somewhat predictable for me), the plot wasn't draggy at all, and overall the entire movie just went really smooth.

Veedokkade is a slick action entertainer that deals with the business of diamond trafficking with the backdrop of friendship. The plus points of the film are Surya, Tamanna and nice screenplay with good commercial payoffs. On the flip side, certain scenes (introducing heroine and her family as prostitutes / ghastly portrayal of friend's killing episode) may be offending for movie lovers of delicate sensibilities. On a whole, Veedokkade is a slickly executed action flick.Cinematography by MS Prabhu is excellent. The virgin locations of Africa are well explored (especially the locations of last but one song shot in a desert). Music by Harris Jayaraj is just OK. Fights by Kanal Kannan (especially the first chase shot in African country) are superb. Dialogues are adequate. Production values by AVM banner are grand.
