Veera- An Arrow Head of Torture
Story:
Veera (Raviteja) comes in disguise of a security officer to save his sister (Sridevi) family which is being targeted by few goons from his bloody past. Veera is a good man who fights for his people. But his sister doesn’t like him to see as a killer. Therefore he hides that from her. However, she comes to know about this when her family gets brutally killed by Veera’s enemy Rayudu (Pradeep Rawat). Veera loses his wife Kabaddi Chitti (Kajal) and step mother (Roja) too. How he avenges their death and saves his sister family forms rest of the story.
Analysis:
Veera is a routine film blended with action, comedy and romance. Ramesh Varma who earlier directed Oka Oorilo and Ride has directed this film which is far different from his previous films. But is very similar to hundreds of Telugu films from the past.
Veera heads in the eighties kind of narration with a song-fight-comedy-song-fight… type of treatment. It lacks the soul and purpose to keep the audience glued to the screen. Highly predictable storyline and boring screenplay are the major drawbacks of this film. Anybody who is known for being immensely patient too will be tested by this torturous flick which never seizes on boring to the core.
Veera is for die hard mass fans who like to see severed limbs and arms flying all over the screen. Audience with sensibilities won’t like it a bit. This is one of the worst films that are released in the recent times.
Performances:
Raviteja looked unenthusiastic and uninteresting throughout the film. His chemistry with Brahmanandam is usually sparkling but it lacked the bite in Veera. There are two shades to his character and both of them are very badly done.
Kajal is Okay when compared to Taapsee. Neither of them got any chance to leave a mark. Roja and Divyavani played two important characters and they proved that they have grown better with age. Sridevi gets her expressions right. Pradeep Rawat is standard. So are other baddies. Brahmanandam is below average. Ali is Okay up to some extent. Kick Shyam got wasted. Rest of the cast didn’t have anything special to mention.
Tehnicalities:
Thaman SS music is routine. He is repeating himself very often. If he does the same very often he will soon see the exit door. A couple of songs are catchy and hum-able though. Abburi Ravi dialogs lacked the spice. He doesn’t have powerful lines to elevate the character of Veera. Chota K Naidu’s cinematography is fine. Editing by Gowtam Raju isn’t slick enough. Production values are good. So much money is spent and that could be seen on the screen.
We have got another worst director after Meher Ramesh in the form of RameshVarma.Another disaster has got this year.
Plus Points:
Nothing seems to be good.
Minus points:
- Story and screenplay
- Too much blood and gore
- Lack of proper comedy
- So called entertaining scenes fell flat
- Direction
Final Word: Veera- An Arrow head of Torture.
Rating: 1.5/5
