Known enemies are better than unknown friends. Sometimes it is hard to understand this statement and implement this phrase into our own lives, as it is much easier to trust those who are nice to us as opposed to those who aren’t. However, this statement is best exemplified by the recent telugu movie Waltair Veeraya, starring Chiranjavee and Ravi Teja.
Waltair Veeraya is a story about a local gang lord named Waltair Veeraya, who is a part time fisherman, and his fight to stop a large-scale drug lord. As a local gang lord, Veeraya doesn’t indulge in morally wrong acts, as he does not commit murders or life-threatening crimes. In fact, the people of Veeraya’s town even consider Veeraya as their own police officer rather than a bad gang person. However, problems start to occur when an actual police officer, Vikram Sagar, comes to Veeraya’s town on the note that there was drug smuggling going on.
Vikram Sagar and Waltair Veeraya are step-brothers who never got along from the start. The fact that Vikram became a police officer while Veeraya became a gang leader didn’t help their relationship get any better. Because of this, Sagar doesn’t fear Veeraya and his influence when investigating the drug case in Veeraya’s area. However, Sagar also doesn’t suspect Veeraya as the main crime lord, as he knows Veeraya’s morals and knows he won’t stoop to such a level. What both Veeraya and Vikram don’t know is that the problem is due to Veeraya’s right hand man. Due to the enmity between Veeraya and Vikram, Veeraya gets distracted and doesn’t suspect his own members of the gang, as Veeraya tries to mess with Vikram the whole time with regarding the drug problem. This ultimately caused many losses on both Veeraya’s and Vikram’s side. By disregarding the problem, the main drug lord rose to power and brought down Vikram and his police force. After all the great problems caused, Veeraya realizes his mistake and tries to take down the now international drug lord.
This movie shows an underlying principle of how important trust is. The movie shows how trust doesn’t have to be with someone who you get along with. That trust can prove to be very beneficial when you come across situations, not necessarily on the same level as drug problems, that require careful confidence in trustworthy people. Just like in the case of the movie, sometimes people who may be nice to you may not be nice to you for the sake of good friendship, as the people might just be trying to use you. That is why I believe this movie embodies that idea very well, and I encourage you all to watch this movie.
I think I actually will watch this movie because it sounds like a great drama and action movie. There seems to be a lot of twists in the plot, and it has a great setting and background. The brothers being polar opposites is a nice addition to this mystery film. You’ve made this film seem enticing and something that I would definitely love. Also, I love the message of the movie and how the film addresses this problem and theme.
I have never considered watching an Indian made movie before, but you have genuinely peaked my Interest with Walter Veeraya. I enjoy movies with an overall moral or theme at the end, like with this one about the importance of trust. I also appreciate how you mentioned that there will be plot twists and a nice subtle description of the setting. I also think it has a very similar idea to the movie Step Brothers, which is more of a comedy but I can see the resemblance.
As someone who has actually watched many Indian and Bollywood movies, this one seems very unique and kind of strays aways from my preconceived notion of what a Indian movie is. Almost all of the Indian movies I’ve s seen or heard about happen to be romantic dramas or action movies that somewhat involve a love story. It is interesting to see a complex plot like this moveie that also portrays a lesson to be taught on trust.
