It would be a stretch to describe Ramgopal Varmas new film Veerappan as a return to form for the once-maverick director, but this much can be said: the film is more coherent than a lot of his recent work. 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.

Veerappan gives an insight into the life and times of the dreaded bandit. RGV is in good form. Sandeep Bhardwaj as Veerappan is superb.

On the whole, Veerappan is an ordinary fare which will not be able to score much at the box-office. It will do well in single-screen cinemas of centres where action fares are liked.

Ratings:1.5/5 Review By: Saibal Chaterjee Site:NDTV
Veerappan does not shy away from making a great deal of noise, but the film is more akin to soggy gelatin sticks delivering a damp squib than a big explosive device triggering an earth-shattering bang. At no point in the film does one get the impression that RGV might be anywhere near regaining his lost touch. The maker of Satya and Company is nowhere in sight in this messy, pedestrian thriller.

To find an actor who resembles the real-life character he has to play is a stroke of pure luck. But to fritter that away by making that reel-life character so uni-dimensional, so uninteresting is pure misfortune, both for the once terrific director, as well as for us viewers who live in hope for his return

The basic idea is to present it as a morally ambiguous story where the good can also use evil means, but that isnt enough. Having said that, this 126-minute film has pace and a narrative technique which may give you a glimpse of RGVs old charm. But, the mojo isnt completely back yet.

Ratings:3/5 Review By: Srijana Das Site:Times Of India
In all fairness, Sandeep brings Veerappan alive and the National Award winner Usha as Muthulakshmi is convincing. Though not in top form, RGV does redeem himself to some degree. And his film does allow you to get up, close and personal with the notorious criminal who made a monkey of the Tamil Nadu and Karnataka Governments, because he knew the loopholes in the system.

Ratings:3/5 Review By: Hungama Site:Bollywood Hungama
While the first half of the film builds up the story and the pace, the film’s second half dips slightly. On the whole, VEERAPPAN has violence that may seem a bit over the top for a certain segment of audience. With its unconventional and extremely well-narrated story line and Ram Gopal Varma’s trademark filmmaking skills VEERAPPAN will most likely be patronized by a niche segment of the audience.

Ratings:3/5 Review By: Asira Site:Deccan Chronicle
Veerappan fictionalises the life of the notorious brigand, brought to us in typical Ram Gopal Varma style gritty and engaging.A cop is killed by Veerappan (Sandeep Bharadwaj) and the dead mans wife Priya (Lisa Ray) joins the force as a spy to avenge her husbands death. And she uses the bandits wife to get to him. That, more or less, is it. RGV has told it taut, specially in the second half that is all about Operation Killing Veerappan.
