Veerappan (2016) Movie Review By NDTV
Veerappan is about an all-out assault on a band of brigands. But did it have to be such a battering of the senses? If the ear-splitting background score is bad enough, the fidgety camerawork is a strain on the eyes. This film is another reminder: it is time to launch a manhunt for the Ram Gopal Varma that Bollywood watchers once knew. Or, else, let us just move on just as Hindi cinema has done from the heydays of the gangster flick. Full Review

Veerappan (2016) Movie Review By DeccanChronicle
Veerappan fictionalises the life of the notorious brigand, brought to us in typical Ram Gopal Varma style – gritty and engaging. Looks like Ramu has found his long-lost mojo with this one. A cop is killed by Veerappan (Sandeep Bharadwaj) and the dead man’s wife Priya (Lisa Ray) joins the force as a spy to avenge her husband’s death. And she uses the bandit’s wife to get to him. That, more or less, is it. Full Review

Veerappan (2016) Movie Review By Bollywood Hungama
VEERAPPAN has violence that may seem a bit over the top for a certain segment of audience. With its unconventional and extremely well-narrated story line and Ram Gopal Varma’s trademark filmmaking skills VEERAPPAN will most likely be patronized by a niche segment of the audience. Full Review

Veerappan (2016) Movie Review By Bollywood Life
Veerappan may be a let down if everyone expected this to be on lines with Band Queen or Paan Singh Tomar. However, there is a still a reason to smile here as we get to see the signs of RGV’s lost brilliance. If it was not for the lifeless performances from most of the cast and the silly BG score, this would have been a better film. Full Review
