When he encounters Thamizh's Family, he takes advantage of their suituation, but the family uses him without his consent as their saviour. Such a turn in suituation sends worms inside Vedalam's head.
You know, I found this really funny in the movie. If this was any villain other than Ajith they would have all been dead Thamiz was really unlucky that the Cartel brothers weren't Ajiths either. Then they would have reformed and become good just by meeting her :P

Firstly, the Cartel did not give much time for any connection to happen. It all happens under a thunder inbetween the gap of lightenings. Moreover, the Vedalam character is sketched to redisover himself admist Tamizh and family, it a positive manner. Positivity is the what the movie is all about.
Secondly the movie structure itself. It starts with a malevolent man who feeds on the sentiments of the family member, challenging that goodness has no harm over him and it needs a demon much bigger than him to take him down. Thus, the story follows Vedalam and at the end relates to the challenge made by the man. I would like to precise again here that a story can have different treatment, Siva stuck to what he had visioned.
Thridly, the difference between Vedalam and the Cartel => last dialogue before pulling the trigger.
When did i say vedalam was a success? It did usual business like any other biggie.. It did better than tv avlo thaan..It didnt break any records etc here..You might find my reason funny but it actually makes difference.. Not in a big way though...the less u appear, audiences yearn for more..rajni /shankar films a good example..the buzz/hype is much bigger..
Dont drag kopu here
The reported numbers (only 40 screens) in bollywoodhungama/rentrak are quite big, that too with the competition... anyhow let's wait for the complete report....

Yea, we as the audience know that but Thamiz in the movie doesn't know what kind of character Vedhalam was. I just find the way it was executed was funny. I actually liked the flashback Vedhalam portions. Just wished it was better executed.

[B] A still from the Film Vedalam, Ganesh - The Man within the Beast

another scene i liked was Ajith's request to Ashwin/Men in the temple... those complete dialogues, the sounds of the flying birds and the temple bell sound once Thala finishes his dialogues, those little girls playing happily in the back ground.. neatly done.
The 'Angry Man' Character has always been a part of our cinema culture. Many have tried showing anger on screen, but only an handful were appealing. Then came Amarkalam admist the reigning trend Romance. Ajith as Vasu unleashed his disagreement. If Valli Shiva is a silent killer, Vasu wispered his rage. Ajith became a title-holder with Amarkalam and went to bring this note worthy emotion into most of the characters he played, and while doing so, he showed variety. In Mughavari, the frustration stirred with hopelessness and served cold with deceit is registered by Ajith playing the role of an ambitious youngster who cries in the rain under the dijection thunder. The emotion is an extereme height of anger itself. Ajith quickly redefined the cult character 'The Angry Man' and went ahead to suit up in such roles tailor made for him.
Criticism
Criticism can be handled in several ways, and the wise would convert it to their benefit by energizing themselves using the criticism as a fuel for vitality. Ajith's carrier was/is loaded with criticisms from every front. But every single complain triggered an urge to acheive inside artist Ajith. He gently kept them at heart but put his mind at work, the result started to become visible in his films. He completely shed down his physique in Paramashivan, and bounced back as a dancer in Varalaru. It took several films for Ajith to correct his vocal and its modulation. The outcome for non-stop trying, finally paved way - Ajith unearthed a rusty voice in Arambham. Ajith quickly turned to become an editors choice, each movement on screen in Billa marked Ajith as an artist who is aware of the camera placement, including the lens, focus and the light source. His concentraion pronounced his efforts he had put and show cased his analytical approach. His prowess is seen in his amazing strides which looks as though calculated in advance. Ajith did not stop, but went on into a correction mode, assuring huge ameliorations in lips syncs, expressions and ending his recent film Vedalam by excersing even his face muscles and teeth to perform.
The Communication
'Vathiyar' & 'Thalaivar' are considered to communicate with their fans through films. A similar 'break-up' suitation put Ajith to use films as the only medium to communicate with his fans. He constructed a sort of transmission through his film coding messages for his fans - "Yenna Readya". Just as his seniors, Ajith started to polish his relationaship with his faithful fans by erradicating the usage of first person singular, and started to enlarge the thrid person pluriel that helped in establishing a huge connect. In Vedalam, Ajith asks 'Therika Vidalama', and his fans acknowledged.
The Style
Ajith in Action is always a beauty to watch. Just like 'Vara Vara Ellame Style", Ajith's every mannerism started to stand out. During the 'Super Fight on the Superyatch' in Vedalam, he fixes his eyes on his single target, but takes his time to reach the victim, all the while terrorising his kill by walking around breaking anything moving and immovable. A perfect menance, done with Style. Billa marked it for him and from then he started adding tiny bits in each movie that followed, moveover the film makers made it a point via intro scenes to encourage his fans where the 'Thala' factor gets highlighted. Even in Vedalam, during title card, the 'Thala' gets focused in/out. His coolers and other accesories including the vehicles he uses started to be pronounced firmly. Style serves Ajith with purpose.
Ganesh, the Vedalam
Ganesh weeps. He could not take the beatings anymore.
Ganesh is in trouble. He begs before the abducters to release him.
Ganesh is floored, like a torn rag. He is holding a gun, but stammers to aim.
Vedalam grins loadly. He beats up anything thats in front of him, also the ones at the back of him.
Vedalam lifts his heads and mocks showing his teeth. The language spoken by his fingers are heard by the guns that drop down willingly.
Vedalam laughs at his nemessis signaling the end. One bullet, One Shot. Finish.
Now rearrange the above sentenses. Ganesh & Vedalam are two different characters, like the flower and the rabbit inside a magician's hat. Ajith pulls off the one needed for the tirck, and when the object is out, the trick takes the respective act. He fluently enables the variation and most of them are performed for a thick close up shot. Such up and rising expressions under a brief moment puts the actor Ajith before the star Ajith.
If Theri Theme is responsible to put a smile, its Ajith who ensures that it stays there. As Vedalam, Ajith registers a variety of emotions and this time with a lot of humour added to it. He gives various looks that are strikingly different, even when he has his sunglasses on, just through the body and it's language. While seeking remboursement for his broken bike, he lands up smashing the side kicks. He throws the cross-bar with one hand, and lifts the other to wear his sun galsses. On his way he looks at a wounded henchman lying in the path. Similarly during the luncheon or discussion with Papa or asking for his gun, Ajith shows variety of meanings through his looks alone. And as Vedalam Ajith is just HUGE, as in magnifying presence. As Ganesh he brings out the needed innocence. Ganesh's lecture about 'Freedom for Women' is the need of the hour.
Ganesh is the Man, the one to be followed. Vedalam is the Machine, an automated killing device during the beloved ones are in trouble. Together they are the piercing Bullet. Right Gun, Good Aim but its the Bullet that gives the finishing touch.

You know, I found this really funny in the movie. If this was any villain other than Ajith they would have all been dead Thamiz was really unlucky that the Cartel brothers weren't Ajiths either. Then they would have reformed and become good just by meeting her :P
If I may take the liberty in explaining you the perspective that i came to while watching this Film.
There are lots of signals has been sent out (though briefly) that though Vedalam is bad ass and he will do anything for Money but there are references like he giving money to the one who spent for his recovery and aftermath scene following a bit hassle between Vedalam and Thamizh & co family denotes that there is something good still living in him.
But on the other hand Villain brothers brought up and their buisness wouldn't let them think others esp girls anything other than meat. Hence they reforming and become good just by meeting thamizh family is not gonna happen. Hope that explains.
Also I have noticed in the movie ----During Fight scene -Ajith Wears Black shirt (with black banyan) OR Red shirt (with red banyan) ..that is also unique touch of director.
Also during Ajith intimation to the Police ---that drug seller walks on the street and ajith follows him -Background score is awesome without dialogue...
