Suriya has done many commercial flicks. Vel is one of that you shouldn't miss as after these many years, content remains fresh, not outdated. Director Hari always moves his films in a fast paced manner, just as seen in saamy series or Singham series. Bacically a simple Twin-Confusion story backed by an emotional soul and notable performances. Suriya has given his best as a detective and a People Goon. Background Music was memeorable and Asin's performance also to be notef as the chemistry between Asin and Suriya works just perfectly like Gajini 2005. This movie is clearly set up for south indian audiences irrespective of the language.
Twin brothers (Vel and Vasu) get separated. One is brought up in the city and another in a village. While Vel is all brawn and protects his village from an Ex-MLA (Sakara Pandi), Vasu is all brain and works in a detective agency. What will happen when the brothers meet?
This is a wonderful film and I had great time watching it. The film is directed by Hari, who later on 2010 directs Singam. Singam is one of the most iconic film of the genre and Vel has lots of similarity with Singam. The look, feel, dialogue, actions and comedy all feels like an alternate version of Singam. This is a treat for any lovers of south-Indian film.
Suriya is an amazing actor and I love his work. He has done a phenomenal job in this film. He plays two roles and does it with ease. I liked his chemistry with Asin. There were lots of comedy scenes, Vadivelu did great in his role. The songs were nice and beautifully shot. The fight scenes were nice lots of fights with knives and fists.
This is a mass action, comedy and family entertainer. I loved the film. From start to finish the film flows smoothly. Highly recommended for any Suriya fans.
The movie was excellent. Suriya acting was amazing in the movie in dual roles. Songs and BGM were also amazing. The story was also good in the movie.

The D-day has finally arrived and with it comes Vel, one of the much-awaited movies of the festive season Vel had everyone in the industry as well as the fans wondering whether the successful pair Surya and Asin-could ignite the silver screen once again after their smash hit Gajins
The movie has nothing new to offer and has all the aspects that one can expect of director Hari. It has shades of Har's earlier ventures all hashed up. Looks like the story has been inspired from good old movies, as its storyline is the stale twins-parled-during- childhood kind and how the family reunites, not to mention the villain somewhere out there wrecking vengeance
As said earlier, one of the twins, played by Surya, is lost during childhood A rich man from
a village lakes himn under his care and brings him up, as his own son, naming him Shakthivel aka Vel, who unaware of his true ancestry, grows un a village deary, Meanwhile, heroine Asin learns about the existence of Vel and informs his twin, Vasu, a detective, who happens to live in the city with his mother Vasu firmly believes that Vel is his brother and goes to the village to find out the truth. What ensues after
this is the usual swapping of roles by the brothers to fight the villains and how the family reunites.
As usual, Surya has given his best. He looks relishing after a year long gap. Asin is het bubbly self as 7up Swathi, enjoying every bit of it. Vadivelu's comedy is stale barring a few scenes Music, scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja is very average and if one expects it to bring in the crowds to the theatres, then they are in for a rude shock Brindha and Kalyan's choreography is very mediocre and has nothing worth mentioning. Nothing novel has been attempted by the cinematographer Priyan, but the special effects are excellent. particularly in scenes where both the Suryos are shown together
The movie before the intermission drags on and on but the second half moves at a faster pace, thanks to the screenplay. But Hari could have made it even crispier Overall a usual predictable movie added with all the masals that the fans need for an entertainer.
