It is enough to make you want to flee into the forests, even at the risk of running into Veerappan

Or, else, let us just move on just as Hindi cinema has done from the heydays of the gangster flick.

It's not the worst film Ram Gopal Varma has made. Nor is it any close to his best.

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

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.

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

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.
