AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

        Director Vincent Selvah, who introduced actor Ramesh in Jithan, teams up with him again for Madurai Veeran. A remake of Telugu blockbuster Nuvve Nenu, the movie is a load of action and romance. The storyline is old hat but the director's racy narration gives it an engrossing look. Convincing is Ramesh, showing a marked improvement in his body language and in the dances. His voice modulation had been a problem earlier but his brother Jeeva has lend that sibling support - in perfect sync here.

        Mumbai import and debutante Saloni is an apt foil to Ramesh, passing the Selvah test in flying colours. The movie revolves around Shiva (Ramesh), a multimillionaire's son, who falls in love with a milk supplier's (Lal) daughter. Amidst opposition from both families, the two wade through crisis-ridden situations before the happy ending. Avinash and Lal lend their weight in father characters. Not far behind are V M C Hanifa, Venniradai Murthy and Ganja Karuppu.

        Newcomer I Andrew has captured the stunt sequences well. The climax fight at Thalakonam needs mention. Srikanth Deva's numbers are peppy with Gana Ulaganathan chipping in for the variation.

        Vincent Selvah has tried to dish out a commercial entertainer with dollops of romance. An overdose of stunt sequences toward the end is the jarring aspect. But the movie has the ammunitions to hold the audience interest.
