Plot

Murali is an alcohol addict. Although he is a person with good values, this addiction puts him down. He doesn’t know how to stop this addiction. In a particular stage, his family started hating him as he is now a burden to them. How Murali comes out of this addiction and lives normal life forms the rest of the story.

Star Performance

Jayasurya and natural acting are inseparable. Not only has he, even his eyelashes performed. Jayasurya’s performance is just awesome. His body language and dialogue delivery are fantastic. The rest of the stars had also performed neatly.

Analysis

The main aim of the film is to provide a good message to society. The director had clearly shown the issues faced by the regular alcohol drinkers. How they become a burden to their family, sell all the essentials just to drink and how the family hates them are rightly shown in this film. Although some scenes seem to be repetitive, the team has brought a good movie. The BGM, cinematography and editing are good.

Story, screenplay and direction are good
The performance of Jayasurya is the highlight

What’s Not There?

Verdict

Vellam is a good film that showcases the contemporary situation. People, who want to know the result of alcohol addiction, should watch this film. Vellam is not just a film, but a lesson!
