Veerappan - Movie Reviews

It is enough to make you want to flee into the forests, even at the risk of running into Veerappan
Indian Express
Or, else, let us just move on just as Hindi cinema has done from the heydays of the gangster flick.

I’m going with two out of five
Rajeev Masand
It's not the worst film Ram Gopal Varma has made. Nor is it any close to his best.
Filmfare
Veerappan may not match the best of Ramu - Rangeela, Satya, Sarkar, Company - but the good news is that it doesn'€™t match his worst either
Film Companion
Even then this could have been an engaging watch, if not spoiled by that constant assault on one's eardrums

Anu Menon’s true triumph lies in how she doesn’t vilify a profession or its uncomfortable reality to gather empathy for her characters

This is not a film worth recommending

There it is again, the camera panning across the wide, unending expanse of the forest symbolizing Veerappan's voracious ambition
Sify
Overall, ‘Veerappan’ is a mediocre fare.

Handout photo of “Veerappan”Ram Gopal Varma, whose skill sets as a director have plummeted drastically in the last few years, falls further into the abyss by bringing together a bunch of bad actors in “Veerappan” and egging them on towards even more mediocrity

Veerappan would have been better off without any songs
Bollywood Hungama
The movie spans only the period of April 2004 until October 18, 2004, but it feels like you have lived the life of Veerappan, in the jungles, surrounded by mosquitoes (and bad dialog and silly characters)... Even though the man who plays Veerappan looks spot on like the dacoit, Ram Gopal Varma misses this one by a mile.

Watch it for some real life thrills of notorious criminal

On the whole, VEERAPPAN has violence that may seem a bit over the top for a certain segment of audience.

Veerappan is hardly the redemption Ram Gopal Varma could have hoped for, it is 2.5 hours of unbearable torture
India Today
Varma takes frequent liberties with the truth in this remake of his own Kannada film Killing Veerappan, but what you leave the cinema with at the end are shattered eardrums from the incessant background music

Ram Gopal Varma’s return is hampered by bad acting and ear-splitting background score!

Veerappan’s men also die in such face-offs, but Veerappan invariably escapes.

Ram Gopal Varma’s take on the most dreaded dacoit is a riveting watch!

Veerappan is watchable because it belongs to Muthulakshmi
The Hindu
In terms of performance of the lead actor, the film is simply awesome though you may need to digest the typical elements of Ramu in it.

Veerappan' is mildly menacing instead of an out and out menacing film. The movie had all the potential to become a hard-hitting cult drama if only the screenplay would have been a bit tight and had some better actors to perform.
