Vietnam Veedu is one of those very rare tamil movies in which the tamil brahmin community is not ridiculed.
The film was adapted from a very successful play. It is ably directed by Sundaram.
Sivaji ganesan has given a very good performance but his tendency to over act is the jarring part, specially the climax. Also, in his eagerness to speak the brahmin lingo, he stretches a few words & in the process overdoes the accent.
The other actors play their parts well, but Padmini overtakes even sivaji in over play. She frequently keeps fiddling with her madisar, maybe she felt uncomfortable.
The "palakaattu pakkathile" song is overdone.
But for people who love melodrama, this is the film for you.
It can be complimented for one thing though - It does not portray the brahmin community as cowards./villains.
