#Veeram : Thrilling Kalari fights, Stunning graphics, good BGM and the decent act of all leading characters. This is gonna be a classic. Veeram is a great coming back of the National Award Winner Jayaraj. Looking forward to see the future projects of this man. Pointless to compare this with movies like Baahubali, but I felt it is somehow better than Baahubali. Thank God, Chanthu was real.

Veeram is a great feat achieved for a comparatively smaller commercial industry like ours. It should be applauded and supported in our state. With an appealing production design and a very aesthetic styling, crossing borders in case of talent and a bold interpretation of our own vadakkan pattu, it keeps us engaged for the entire running time. Yes the language used is uncommon but that doesn't make it any difficult to comprehend because its a story that we all know. Of course we can celebrate our own Magnum opus. #Veeram

#Veeram interval... Fight scenes are really great...It is a very good watch... Should be seen as a martial arts film rather than a character study... Should be watched on a big screen...

Jayaraj's take on the story take you to unfamiliar backdrop - rockcut caves and richer costumes than we have come to associate Vadakkanpatt stories. Visually and technically the film is brilliant and the cast has done a good job, though many of them are unfamiliar, probably due to their getup for the movie. The familiarity with story is a bit of dampner for the malayali audience. Over all a good movie of international tech standards.

Mind blowing!!! Proud that Jayaraj has made a movie on big canvas that can match any Hollywood blockbuster. Watch this one only on big screen with excellent sound fx. Hats off to Kunal.

excellent cinatography... excent cgi. motivational bgm as well as all songs. kudos to stund teams.. excelent colouring... and nothing else to say.. iam stunded by seeing the making of this filim. although some negatives are there but overalla its a remarkable movie..

good art work...good camera...dialogues are good...but script have some lags in betweenall actors done their part well...not suitable for family audience...average movie...real chandu story...

nice movie...and story the way telling and actor and actors are doing well on the film.. such a good movie. director do his job well.. pictureisation is well .. every things are good

veeram is like a poem which is having great content but lacks emotions.. great cinematography, actions,art,graphics..but lacks the emotions which was needed for the characters. mthe casting is gone bad..kunal is not up to the mark but OK..but unniyarcha and Kutty maani was a disaster.. their acting seems fake..and the adult contents ..I can take it as a part of art, I see no wrong in it..but would have been better if the character was done by prithvi and other malayalam actresses.. jayaraj wants to make it international.. u did it..but it lacked the soul..sorry to say but my first ever first day first show was not up to the mark..

A visual treat for all movie lovers. Casting was only a small drawback. But it doesn't steals the technical sound of the movie. Kudos jayarajan.. All the best
