Warning: Spoilers
Velayudham is a fictional do-good created by Bharathi (Genelia), a freelance journalist to fight the terrorists, who are trying create problems in Chennai. She creates the character when her friends' killers end up in a freak accident. On the other hand, Velayudham (Vijay), a milkman from a small village comes to Chennai along with his sister (Saranya Mohan), Uncle (MS Bhaskar) and fiancée (Hansika Motwani) to get his hard earned money from a chit fund he invested in. Without his knowledge, he does a few accidental heroics leading to people believing him as the do-gooder Velayudham. Realising the folly, Bharathi confronts him and asks him to take the mantle of eradicating the baddies. He initially wades off but when he sees that his money looted by the chit fund owners, he becomes the Velayudham that every one wants. The story of how Velayudham and Bharathi team up to expose the real culprits and stop the terrorists is told in the terrible second half of the movie.

Velayudham is mass masala flick but it's doesn't sustain your interest till the last. The directors don't understand the fact that people want interesting movies and not combo offer of songs and fights. What could have been a perfect mass masala entertainer becomes just another fizzled out cracker from Vijay's stable.Vijay is flying like spider man and jumping like he has power.But he doesn't have any power and most of the stunts are unbelievable....It always happens to those who doesn't like to risk in acting and keep thinking of same masala concept.
