Vedam (2010)
8/10
Most realistic Allu Arjun movie but alas it wasted the potential
1 May 2021
There are 5 stories running parallel in this film and all intersect at the climax which looked unnatural at first but is digestible considering the fact that we really don't know what's in store for us in the future. Arjun, Anushka, Manoj, Saranya and Manchu Manoj are the protagonist of these 5 stories.

Story of Saranya looks real and touching. Manchu Manoj lacks character depth, the message in his story could have been delivered in a better way and it feels like no effort was taken to write his story. Manoj Bajpayee's story is very debatable and fans the fire of hate which at its face value it aims to reduce, basically it looks like some fake story taken from NDTV's prime time (NDTV appears in the end that indicates that some ideologically similar folks tampered the script to suit their political agenda). Anushka does really good to make audience relate with the situation faced by people stuck in her character's profession. Arjun's story is very beautifully written and occupies the most screen time among others. It shows transition of a wandering young boy diseased with materialism of the world to a man who breaths reality.

I would put it at 2nd place in the list of best Allu Arjun movies, just after Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. This movie is way ahead of its time and I am sure if some debatable elements were improved then it could have been even better.
