‘Vedalam’ with it’s larger than life character of the star clearly woos Ajith’s fans

If you can leave your brains behind, maybe you could sit through this masala entertainer that lacks logic

Ganesh (Ajith) and his sister Tamizh (Lakshmi Menon) arrive in Kolkata where Tamizh enrolls for a course in a college of design. As expected she is a talented girl and the brother-sister share a great bond. Ganesh also takes up work as a taxi driver. And he is the sweet guy with a charming smile, until he turns informer for the police who are trying to nab a much dreaded criminal and his gang.
When Ganesh is caught by the gang from a timid man praying for his life, he transforms himself into a ruthless killer, who kills the two brothers of the gang leader Rahul.
So who is actually Ganesh? The story unravels as Ganesh shares his past with Shwetha, (Shruthi Haasan) and whose brother is engaged to Tamizh.
The script is weak, there is no logic as to why the story begins in Italy where an upright police officer is killed by Rahul.
Shruthi Haasan plays a lawyer who has never won a case and with two juniors under her. Shruthi looks gorgeous and hot but she needs to work on her expressions. Her character is poorly sketched. Soori is supposed to tickle the funny bones with his wisecracks but all his jokes fall flat. What is funny about saying ‘Awesome’ as ‘Aweshome’ or ‘public’ as ‘bublic.’
The police become the butt of ridicule as Ganesh is paid by two constables to beat up a crowd of goons who have entered the police station. How believable is  this?

Even his scenes with Shruthi Haasan where they plot against Ganesh are annoying instead of evoking chuckles. Well if you are an Ajith fan, rest assured this film is just for you. With song sequences at the drop of a hat, as Ajith shakes his legs and action scenes where his one man army does everything to bring the villains down. And of course he emerges unscathed.
Lakshmi Menon’s role was definitely drawn better as Ganesh’s sister who brings a change in heart of a rowdy.
Director Siva seems to have added every masala that came to his mind. While the song, 'Adama.....' is one song that lingers for a while, the background score is so jarring that very often the dialogues get lost in its music.
This one is not meant for the family with killings running wild and enough gore.
