VEETLA VISHESHAM MOVIE REVIEW CLICK TO RATE THE MOVIE

Veetla Vishesham is a film directed by RJ Balaji and NJ Saravanan and produced jointly by Boney Kapoor and Zee Studios in association with Romeo Pictures. The film has RJ Balaji, Sathyaraj, Urvashi and Aparna Balamurali in the lead roles, while Pugazh, Jagan, and others play supporting roles. It has music by Girishh Gopalakrishnan and cinematography by Karthik Muthukumar.

Elango (RJ Balaji) is a biology school teacher who is happy with his life. His father (played by Sathyaraj) works in the Indian Railways, and is a stingy person. One day, Elango's mother becomes pregnant, and the entire family is embarrassed about it. How they deal with this unexpected pregnancy forms the plot of the film. 

Being a remake of Ayushmann Khurrana's critically acclaimed Badhaai Ho, Veetla Vishesham stays true to the original for most part of it. However the mood of the film is more serious than Badhaai Ho, inspite of having a lot of jokes at regular intervals. Even if you've watched the original, the jokes work mainly because of the nativity and rooted nature. 

The film's humour quotient comes in the form of RJ Balaji's dialogues and Sathyaraj's body language. RJ Balaji is a riot in the humorous scenes. Aparna Balamurali proves why she is one of the best actresses in the industry with a cakewalk performance. But the entire film is shouldered by the performances of Sathyaraj and Urvashi who look extremely confident about their craft. Their experience also aids the film very well. 

The film has made minor changes to the original such as skipping a few regressive dialogues about abortion. A lot of scenes have been trimmed as well which works both ways for the film. On one hand, the duration helps the engagement while on the other hand, the film feels slightly rushed. 

The cinematography and editing are strictly functional and doesn't hamper the film in any way. The music is dramatic which amplifies and makes the funny scenes funnier. But the same music when used in the dramatic portions feels out of place. Other than that there's nothing much to complain. 

Overall, Veetla Vishesham doesn't strip Badhaai Ho off its soul, at the same time makes a lot of important changes. With the comedy elements working out well, the engagement and entertainment is never an issue. The performances by the supporting cast also adds to the film's positives, making it a winner.
