| One
more star descendant in the Kollywood horizon. This time around,
Ashwin, son of comedian turned politician S.Ve. Shekar makes
his foray in tinsel town as hero in Vegam. Although there
are sincere efforts to make this a grand entry, there is a
link which is missing somewhere and the result is not too
encouraging. |

The
film has been inspired from a Hollywood flick called
Cellular. The title evinces some kind of expectation
that the film could be a fast paced one but it disappoints
appallingly. Leave alone the speed of a rocket, the
film does not even move at a cyclist’s speed.
The only solace happens to be S Ve Shekar’s
dialogues which provide some comic relief.
Prabhu and Kushboo are there but one is not able to
envision their presence in the film. Prabhu dons the
role of a police officer and needless to say he has
not been utilized at all. Ashwin runs an event management
firm and he goes to Malaysia in search of his lover
Archana.

Sriman
who is a suspended police officer kidnaps Kushboo and Ashwin
gets a call from Kushboo. What happens to Kushboo forms
the story of Vegam. A story which necessitates a racy narration
sags all over and the film limps till the end.
Hero Ashwin manages dance and stunts but needs tremendous
improvement in emotions and body language and about the
heroine, lesser said the better. On the technical side,
Suresh Urs’s editing and K S Selvaraj’s camera
offer some kind of succor. Nothing much to speak about Rajesh
Vaidhya’s music. Director K R Udayshankar should have
worked harder. There are absolutely no elements in the film
to create an impact on the audience mind.
Verdict - In short, a damp squib...
