No more labels required for director Siva

Siruthai' Siva, Veeram' Siva and now Vedalam' Siva. Director Siva has been addressed with different labels by audience after every successful film. But truly there should not be a label for Siva, since he has carved a niche for himself with his successful films. Siva may not have thought he would become a maverick director as he is today, his first film Shouryam' released in 2008. Photography was the innate passion for Siva and he pursued it because of his Father.
After years of work in Telugu, Siva remade Vikramarkudu' a telugu film into Tamil as Siruthai' casting Karthi, Tamannah, and Santhanam in lead. Siruthai' became very huge success because of the elements in it. Siruthai' proved Siva's capability on working out the comedy sequences, action blocks and emotional bonds in right proportions in a commercial movie.
The second project for Siva in Tamil was with a Big Name of the industry. With Ajith Kumar and others, Siva tried a new colour to his graph and Veeram' turned out to be a super hit movie. Siva changed the attire, looks, expressions and dialogue modules of Ajith in Veeram', as the star had been appearing in urban mode in his films in the preceding years. The film Veeram' created a celebratory reason for Ajith fans and the dialogues have been admired by them gloriously. Siva proved his mettle in fulfilling the requirements of the large number of loyal Ajith fans, and giving an engaging film for all in Veeram'.
He has registered this ability on a stronger note with Vedalam', his third film in Tamil. Vedalam' was highly anticipated before its Diwali' release and it is now an elegant entertainer. Through a single film named Veeram', Siva seems to have understood the pulse note of Ajith fans and designed a perfect product called Vedalam'. The film Vedalam' turns quintessential by exposing Ajith's brilliant acting and emotions. Director Siva's real achievement with Vedalam' is that you do not need to be an Ajith fan to love it. The characterization of Ajith as a caring elder brother with a suspenseful background and Lakshmi Menon as his kind-hearted and innocent sister in the film narrates the simple template efficiently.
There are few more factors to figure out that How Director Siva made Vedalam' more likeable for the audience. It is not the movie to satisfy only the Ajith's fans, but a movie to relate with your family. It will show you the actor, real performer and highly energetic entertainer all in one Ajith. The film will make you realise the necessity of sibling bond. It does not carry events to admire with film appreciation skills, but carries sequences to thoroughly entertain and enjoy. The film is now an entertainer that performs very well at the Box-office with Rs.25 crores collections in its first two days of release. The credit for this must be given to Director Siva and Ajith.
Director Siva has been upgrading his ability cultivate happiness through his films and his latest outing Vedalam' proves he is on the right track to emerge as one of the most successful directors in Tamil Cinema. With his three films we can expect his future outputs to be served as more entertaining and fulfilling films for the audience and profitable ventures for producers.
