Story:
Major Abhimanyu Kanwar (John Abraham), a former Indian soldier, returns to Barmer, Rajasthan and becomes an assistant boxing coach. The town is ruled by a harsh Sarpanch Jitendra Pratap Singh (Abhishek Banerjee), who enforces strict caste rules and mistreats the lower castes. Veda Barwa (Sharwari) is a strong-willed woman who wants to learn boxing despite her caste difficulties. When her family faces tragedy, Abhimanyu helps her escape, the Sarpanch’s men are chasing them, determined to end her life. As the story unfolds, the reasons behind Abhimanyu’s choice to pursue the Sarpanch and rescue Veda become clear.
Vedaa Movie Review: Fresh Thriller With A Social Message, John Abraham Packs A Solid Punch!

Positive Points:
John Abraham brings realism to his role as a soldier who confronts a corrupt system. His strong presence makes the character more powerful. The sharvari gives a good performance showing both its soft and strong sides.
Abhishek Banerjee is impressive as the intimidating Sarpanch, giving a memorable performance. The action scenes are well done and the unique music suits the mood of the film.
Negative points:
Although the film is based on real-life issues, it suffers from a predictable storyline and slow pace. The script lacks enough excitement, making it difficult to keep the audience engaged.
While the action scenes have some good moments, they are often marred by poor visual effects and unrealistic parts. The movie lacks emotional depth, making it difficult for viewers to truly connect with the characters.
Also, veteran actors like Ashish Vidyarthi do not get enough screen time. The Telugu dubbing is okay, but the songs don’t leave a strong impression. The climax, which could have lifted the film, disappoints, leading to a less impressive ending.
