Am an ardent fan of PSPK since I saw Thammudu and still am proud to be his fan for the person he is..
I have seen Pink, and since I live in chennai, saw nerkonda paarvai too in theatres.. saw vakeel Saab today and to say frankly, am super happy as a PSPK fan and as a fan I give the movie 100/100 (no second thought on it).. but as a normal movie goer who has seen pink and nerkonda parvai, I feel a bit let down mainly because of the lack of sensibility.. Vakeel Saab is loud and has elevation scenes, fights, love track, songs and somewhere in this, the quietness and the sensibility was missing. The serenity was missing. The pauses in the courtroom was missing. The dangerous silence in the courtroom was badly missed.. Pink & NKP had it.. that’s what made me dwell deep into those movies.... I still cry when I see the scene where the lady police constable shakes Ajith’s hand in NKP & Amithabh’s hand in Pink whereas I couldn’t feel the same in VS..
All said and done, I never felt bored in the movie and I enjoyed as a PSPK fan... people who haven’t seen the last 2 versions will surely enjoy it..
If you are a commercial movie lover, VS ticks every box for making it a blockbuster...
My bottom line on VS : “Chaala Baagundhi, chaala enjoy chesaanu, arichaanu, gaani ekkado oka chinna velithi.. soul koncham taggindhey ani... last scenes lo edava leka poyaanu, adhe missing”
