Random Medley of Comedy Clippings
Replace Sivakarthikeyan or Vimal from Manam Kothi Paravai or Desingu Raja with Vikram Prabhu and you can somewhat guess what Vellakkara Durai is all about. A medley of comedy clips with a plot as an excuse is Vellakkara Durai for you. Truth be told is that there is not much of a plot even as an excuse. (more)

Usual comedy mainstream commercial fare from Ezhil which brings a smile.
With the holiday season, comes an out and out entertainer, Vellaikaara Durai, which is a good break amidst the serious films. Directed by Ezhil and with music composed by D Imman, the film is sure to make you smile when you walk out. Vellaikaara Durai is a typical Ezhil fare that comprises masala, comedy, romance, emotions and more.(more)

Cheated by a land broker, a young man and his friends are forced into bondage at the house of a moneylender. There, he falls in love with the man's bride-to-be.
With the unexpected success of Manam Kothi Paravai, director Ezhil must have thought that he had hit upon the formula for the fail-safe film � the kind of film that one can neither like nor detest. Heck, you cannot even call these middlebrow films. But this kind of unambitious film, which is mildly entertaining and largely unexciting, has an audience, who just want some diversion for a couple of hours. All that the director needed were a familiar hero and heroine, some recognizable comedians, a non-threatening villain, a couple of feel-good songs. And, the best part is that there was no need for burdensome stuff like script and characterization. (more)

Harmless fun targeted at B & C centres
Soori (Police Pandi), Vikram Pabhu (Murugan) and their gang take a loan to buy a piece of land and call it Ishtalakshmi Nagar. Moments before flipping this land at a handsome profit they realise that they have been conned into buying a burial ground. They are forced to repay the debt and they hit the bottle when they get kidnapped by the loan shark Vatti Varadhan (John Vijay). Vatti doesn�t believe in repayment and instead coerces his debtors into carrying out odd jobs in his house, all dressed in white, like in prison. It is here that our hero falls for Yamuna (Sri Divya) who he believes is the loan shark�s sister, and what follows is anybody�s guess.(more)

Vellaikaara Durai is forgettable
It has been a great year for actor Vikram Prabhu. Both his previous films -- Arima Nambi and Sigaram Thodu -- that released earlier this year, did well at the box office. His latest venture titled Vellaikaara Durai is a romantic comedy directed by Ezhil. Sri Divya of Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam fame plays the female lead, with Soori, John Vijay and Singampuli in significant roles.(more)
