Veera Dheera Sooran Movie ReviewDecent numbersAccording to early estimates from the Sacnilk website, ‘Veera Dheera Sooran’ earned Rs 2.50 crore on Tuesday, adding to its Rs 23.65 crore total from the first five days. The film saw its highest earnings over the weekend, with Rs 5.5 crore on Saturday and Rs 6.75 crore on Sunday. However, as expected, collections dipped on Monday to Rs 4.5 crore and further to Rs 2.50 crore on Tuesday.
The Tamil version remains the film’s primary driver, contributing the majority of the earnings. The Telugu-dubbed version has seen lower but steady figures in select regions.
The plot of the film is about Kaali, a reformed gangster turned family man who runs a small grocery store with his wife Kalaivani and their two children. His peaceful life is disrupted when his former boss Ravi seeks his help to eliminate Superintendent of Police Arunagiri who is planning to kill Ravi and his son Kannan over an unsettled past.

ETimes reviewStarring Vikram Kennedy, S. J. Suryah, Dushara Vijayan, Siddique, and Suraj Venjaramoodu, Veera Dheera Sooran has received praise for its gripping action sequences and engaging performances. We rated the film with 3 stars out of 5 and our review reads, “The film would have remained unique and engaging (and also justifying the Part 2 in the title) if Arun Kumar had trusted his audience and chosen to show us only the events that unfold during this one night. Perhaps he felt breaking the convention of providing a flashback would be too risky a move, but the director decides to give us the back story (at least the portions that matter), including the ‘Sudhakar sambavam’. This is where the film begins to lose its individuality as the back story that we eventually get doesn’t match with what we have all built up in our heads all through the first half; rather, it just feels so routine!”
