Plot

Sathya (Sachiin J. Joshi) is a kabaddi player who loved a girl named Shruthi (Esha Gupta) and also married her. After marriage on the first night, Sathya kills his wife and goes to jail. All of the proofs are showing Sathya as the killer, and the other story revolves around what happened next.

Cast

Production

The film was first reported in May 2015, when it was reported that Telugu director Tatineni Satya would make a bilingual Telugu and Tamil film with Sachiin J. Joshi and Esha Gupta in the lead roles, revolving around a kabaddi player who is sentenced to jail after being accused of murdering his girlfriend.[1] Despite the announcement, the film only began a year later in May 2016, with the team shooting a song in Poland soon after.[2] Titled Yaar Ivan in Tamil and Veedevadu in Telugu, production was completed in December 2016.[3]

Prior to the release of the film's first look in Tamil, the team kept the identity of the lead actor a secret and endorsed a competition where the public could attempt to guess the lead star to win a trip to Goa.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by S. Thaman.

Critical reception
Tamil version

Times of India wrote "There is the potential for a good masala noir in the premise of Yaar Ivan, but the film wants to be much more. [..] But the problem is that these elements aren’t brought together into a wholly satisfying narrative."[5]

Telugu version

Telangana Today wrote that "Overall, ‘Veedevadu’ is a watch-worthy thriller".[6] New Indian Express wrote that "Veedevadu is a film that could’ve been much better if it wasn’t for all the unnecessary and counterproductive padding".[7]
