With Vedi, Vishal is back to his favourite forte: action entertainers! After the poetic Engeyum Kaadhal, Prabhu Deva is back with a complete action entertainer Vedi. In this film Bollywood Diva Sameera Reddy teams up with Vishal for the first time. Vedi is the remake of Telugu superhit film Souryam, which starred Anushka and Gopichand in lead roles. A young police officer goes insearch of his long lost sister but during this journey he meets his father's murderers; this is basic plot of Vedi.The film begins with Prabhakaran (Vishal) being chased by a group of henchmen. Somehow he manages to escape and reach Kolkata; there he befriends Deepa (Poonam Kaur). Deepa helps him in finding a room and soon he becomes her unofficial bodyguard. After a series of incidents it is revealed that Deepa is Prabhakaran's long-lost sister.
Amidst fighting off the goons (who are after him), he protects his sister and also falls in love with Paro (Sameera Reddy). Later it is also revealed that Prabhakaran is an undercover cop who is on a mission to eradicate a dreadful criminal. The rest of the story is how he reveals his true identity to his sister and how he unites with Paro.
Vishal is at his best, Sameera Reddy is a treat to watch and Poonam fits the bill perfectly. Vivek's hilarious one liners have you in splits. Music by Vijay Anthony is good with the songs 'Icchu' and 'Eppadi mazhai' standing out.
Overall Vedi is a complete mass entertainer with many twists and turns!
