Even though his movies routinely end up as the worst movies of the year, Sundar. C continues to churn out his own brand of masala movies that are a combination of illogical storylines, romance laced with vulgarity, crass comedy and insipid action. His latest offering Vaadaa also contains all of these and to make matters worse, ill-fittingly shoehorns them into the plot lifted from a Hollywood film.

Vetrivel(Sundar. C) assassinates the governor and then, with his mother and his sister, he escapes to Rishikesh, where he begins working as a tourist guide for his friend(Vivek), under the name Singamuthu. When Anjali(Cheryl Pinto), the daughter of the owner of the business his friend is running arrives, she gets suspicious of Vetrivel. So Vetrivel tells her about his past and why he is now being chased by the police.

Like Aadhavan, Vaadaa too starts off in action mode with an assassination and a chase. But once the scene shifts to Rishikesh, comedy and romance come to the forefront. A common track for comedians is to woo the heroine and get insulted as she inevitably falls for the hero and that's what passes for comedy here too as Vivek plans to seduce Cheryl and inadvertently helps her fall for Sundar. But the track is pretty vulgar with Cheryl in different stages of undress in each of Vivek's plans and Vivek too getting into the act for 1 scheme.

The action during this time comes in the form of the suspense behind Sundar's opening act. But for a man who is hiding his past, he doesn't seem very serious about it. He inadvertently leads Cheryl to his secret hideout, which she is able to open with a 'master key'. Once inside, his past is easily unearthed through newspaper clips (and one piece of paper that for some reason says 'Identity Erased') pasted on the walls and a laptop, which he leaves on a table, open and with no password protection! These sequences give enough of an indication about how the action in the film is going to be handled.

As Sundar launches into his flashback, it initially looks like the film is treading the same path taken by Vijay's Madurey but then it improbably transforms into a copy of the Hollywood film Shooter. But the plot points introduced to go from one to the other are ridiculous and based on the oldest of cliches. The logic of the bad guys is very convoluted and makes no sense whatsoever. The climax features action movie staples like a boat chase and some unique devices like a kaavadi bomb but still manages to be dull and uninteresting.

Sundar.C plays all his roles the same way whatever his character and that's the case here too. The only criterion for the heroine seems to have been that she have no inhibitions about glamour and Cheryl Pinto obviously fit the criterion. Vivek tries to imitate the inimitable Surulirajan with his wig, body language and dialog delivery but his jokes themselves fall flat.
