Malayalam Movie Vegam Review

Vegam comes across a low-key film with a hero, who is yet to build an identity, with a supporting cast who do not flourish a dazzling acting prowess. It brings together money, virtues, desperation of youth and spontaneous decisions which turn the course of life. Not something new, especially when the money gets packed in a bag and helpless youth find themselves scrambling after the bag. The showcase pieces of villains with huge tummies, twirled moustaches play together.


It is hard to write off Vegam as a brainless repetition of cliches for it does engage the viewer. However it happens not with a gripping consistency but certainly like the occasional, surprise breeze that brushes past our faces on a sultry day at the beach. Vineeth Kumar and Gregory gel together to play the trapped youth dreaming of richness with a vigour that is sometimes really absorbing.


Director Anilkumar works within his limits often affording a few scenes that fall way too short of professional filmmaking. Still he manages to grab the attention with a story that is pretty decently told. Vegam may not make for a blockbuster thriller, however it won't leave you hopelessly disappointed, if you really nurture a heart for films.
