Synopsis

Waltair Veerayya

Waltair Veerayya is approached by suspended CI Seethapathi. Seethapathi offers to clear Veerayya’s debts if he captures Solomon Caesar—a violent drug baron who has escaped RAW custody—in Malaysia and returns him to India. Veerayya accepts and, accompanied by his friends and Seethapathi’s brother‑in‑law, checks into Solomon’s Kuala Lumpur hotel to hatch an abduction plan. While scouting Solomon’s hotel, Veerayya inadvertently meets Nithya and Vaishnavi on holiday, alarming Nithya into pulling her daughter away. A rogue tailing attempt by Seethapathi’s relative ends in his capture by Solomon’s men; Veerayya rescues him and tricks Solomon into believing he is a drug buyer. At Solomon’s private party, RAW agents led by Athidhi attempt a raid, but Veerayya—unaware they are government operatives—foils them and earns Solomon’s gratitude. Promising a safe return to India, Veerayya then springs his plan: Solomon, upon discovering the ruse, tortures Athidhi on video while Michael watches. But Veerayya kills the goons and revels that he came for Michal and kills Soloman. Veerayya revels his past to Ci Seethapathi Past:Veerayya runs an ice factory and traffics contraband under the alias “Kaala,” while Vikram rises to ACP, marries Dr. Nithya, and fathers a daughter, Vaishnavi. Drug lord Michael Caesar secretly uses Veerayya’s ice business to smuggle cocaine; when tainted ice kills 25 schoolchildren, Michael frames Veerayya and escapes to Malaysia.

It is after a long time we see that Chiranjeevi truly had a blast playing a character. This is an uninhibited performance and he brings out all the old-school charm that made Chiranjeevi what he is today. The plot is as old as the mountain but what makes Waltair Veerayya somewhat refreshing is that the film doesn’t try to glorify Chiranjeevi’s character. Instead, it allows him to get under the skin of his character and have so much fun. The film really portrays Chiranjeevi in the most crowd-pleasing fashion in a really long time. There are some films you watch for the story and there are some you just watch hoping to see your favourite star shine amidst all other things. Waltair Veerayya is the kind of film that falls in the second category and it’s perfectly fine being that way as it lives up to the expectations.
