Veppam is a pacey puzzle that grips you at the nape of your neck and demands your absolute undivided attention. Yep, don’t look away even for a minute, because you’re bound to miss an important detail that will crop up later in the movie.

Storywise, it’s simple enough. Two childhood pals get entangled in a drug deal. One is doing this with the hope that he will be united with the girl of his dreams, while the other is doing it just for the sake of his friend. Obviously, nothing goes as planned and the boys are on the run for their lives. Treading on broken glass and shattered dreams, with death staring them in the eyes, they must find a way to come clean. Two love stories and a strained filial relationship are deftly woven into this jagged mesh of murder and betrayal. But even before you think you’ve heard this one before, stop! Because it’s the narrative style that makes all the difference. The first half is a scattering of events. The second half puts the pieces of this puzzle together, and it’s the piecing that really draws you out of your seat and into the movie.

It’s a fresh cast and that’s a big plus to the movie, because none of them come with any starry baggage. Nani as Karthik, the rebellious younger brother, does a good job. The fact that he’s from across the border (Andhra Pradesh) hardly shows! His expressions are on the dot. Muthukumar, as the stern protective older brother Balaji, fits the part well. But the biggest surprise is Karthik Kumar. Accustomed to having seen him in 'foreign returned’ roles, watching him play the money-hungry son of a mechanic is a refreshing change! And he’s bang on target. Nithya Menen and her big brown eyes make yet another strong statement that she’s here to stay. Bindu Madhavi is the other pleasant surprise. Looking every bit ravishing in those plunging low-backs and low-waist sarees, she lures not just Vishnu, but all of us tooooo!

Going behind the scenes, two people who carry the movie on their shoulders are cinematographer Om Prakash and music director Joshua Sridhar. Veppam is essentially a gritty tale set in North Chennai, but if you expect just dirt and grime, you’ll be sadly disappointed. The camera work is impressive, realistic with an artistic touch. The colours are vivid without being artificial. The music is something else altogether, but in a great way! The songs are fabulous and blend into the story with ease. ’Mazhai Varum Ariguri’ and ’Oru Devadhai’ are soul stirring tunes, and Na. Muthukumar’s lyrics are perfect to the situations at hand. ’Minnale Pidikire’ is a fun number, but what we loved most about the film is Kalyan Master’s choreography! The title track coursing through the super fast climax fight is a key asset. And when it comes to the background score, Joshua scores again, adding to the thrills and suspense in the screenplay.

Of course, the captain of the ship (clichéd as it may sound) is Anjana. Hardly the kind of subject you’d expect from a woman, but it’s the lady’s touch that gives this dark tale a characteristic flavour. For all the suspense and treachery, there is but one fight sequence in the movie and that too, in the very end. Yet, there is enough action and pace, so you hardly miss the kicks and the punches. The subtlety in the love scenes and the collage of romantic sequences scattered within the songs are in stark contrast to the core theme of the movie, and that somehow makes the elements of fear and angst all the more unbearable.

On the downside, we must mention the lack of hard-hitting dialogues. While the cast, camera and music take the movie forward at breakneck pace, from time to time the dialogues don’t match up to the bigness of the transpiring events. But this will occur to you only in retrospect, because for the two hours that you’re in the theatre, you’ll be too busy riding on Karthik’s Apache to find time to worry about diction and choice of words!

Good fun from start to end, Veppam is not your typical masala movie crammed with punch dialogues and capeless super heroes. But it’s a new formula that’s equally heady and tangy!

Rakhi Sawant Will Marrying Swami Baba Ramdev

Posted: 28 Jul 2011 05:52 AM PDT

At last the multimillinoire bachelor, yoga guru and the latest crusader of corrupt free India Baba Ramdev will be free from his satyagraha, as the b-town oomph quotient and media favourite Rakhi Sawant has promised a life time tiltation to the yogi who may become a bhogi….

While the ruling party will be happy to know that Rakhi who was once eyeing Rahul Gandhi is now fallen head over heels to this saffron clad famous yoga teacher who has become more famous by his ‘Clean India’ andolan (protest) stolen from the veteran Aanna Hazare and now there are chances of his popularity breaking all TRPs for the day if he says ‘yes’ to B-town seducer Rakhi Sawant.

Rakhi dropped a bomb in Delhi yesterday when she said, “Swami is hot, sexy. Haven’t you ever seen his flat tummy? Bas ek baar shaadi ki mala unpe daal doon, unki aankh fadakna bhi band ho jayegi.

Well on her shift to Baba Ramdev from Rahul Rakhi explains, “Mujhe nahin lagta Soniaji ke saath meri daal galegi. So I wouldn’t mind marrying Swami Ramdev. He has loads of money and drives expensive cars. If this wedding happens, you all will get to see a glamorous sadhvi. Wouldn’t that be interesting?”

Rakhi refused to address the yoga guru as ‘Baba’, because “Baba toh aap logon ke liye hain. Mere liye toh woh Swami hi hain. I hope he doesn’t call me ‘behen’.

And that’s not all, the bimbo also has her future plan sorted out, she has even decided on the cover poster of the future yoga DVD that will be released after their marriage. The thrilled Rakhi says, “The yoga DVD which we will release will be far more sensuous and hot than Shilpa’s. It will find several takers.”

But the naughty Rakhi fears cops in her meeting with her sawariyaan, she says, “I’m just a bit scared of the cops, who might bash me up just as they bashed his followers. Lekin agar pyaar kiya toh danda kya?”

Yes it will be the most interesting pair if this happens by any chance, post your comments and say whether Rakhi is the ideal choice for Baba and if not then who.
