वेट्टेयन द हंटर

Definitely a good movie with all the characters doing justice to their roles.

Rajni and Fahad combo was fun to watch. Mass moments were there for Rajni but expected more.

Anil **njans spreading negative reviews and finally true positive wom is attracting family audience and others increasing the screens globally.

Definitely we can watch twice. Atleast one time must watch. There is no lag in the second half.

Climax could have been better. Felt thalaivar dialogue delivery in the climax was not proper (pronounciation)

The one liner is very catchy Kuri vecha era vizhanum..

Back to back hits for thalaivar after annathe failure.. Waiting for his career best Coolie with Lokesh. Hoping Lokesh would cook his best for Thalaivar standalone.

I enjoyed this movie overall. The story conveys a strong message, and the character balance is thoughtfully handled. Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan share excellent chemistry, and Fahadh Faasil truly proves himself as a chameleon, adapting seamlessly to his role.

However, the film's length and certain screenplay choices weigh it down. Some scenes, like the death scene, are replayed excessively, and numerous lingering shots add to the runtime without contributing much to the story. The decision to introduce the villain so late also felt like a missed opportunity; it led to hurried exposition to catch the audience up, which disrupted the flow.

While I don't mind a lengthy movie if it has enough to say, this one felt stretched. Tightening up the pacing would have made for a more engaging experience without sacrificing the depth or impact.

I had no expectations on this one, I badly wanted to like this movie, and the movie ended up as a satisfactory watch to me.

The 1st half is relatively better, stuck to crime thriller genre, and set good stage for 2nd half.

However, the 2nd half meandered between several subplots, had few flaws, and never took off to the next level.

The film could use a stronger antagonist in terms of writing and character development. He seemed like any other corporate criminal.

It is a challenge to blend realism & Rajni but the director is decently successful in doing it. The movie could have been a bit better but it is not bad either. Ani did justice to the film wherever he can, especially, for the intro scene.

Vettaiyan unfolds in two gripping parts, combining high-octane police encounters with a poignant examination of justice. The first half immerses viewers in thrilling action, showcasing relentless chase sequences and dramatic shootouts. However, the narrative shifts post-intermission, focusing on the legal intricacies of seeking justice after an untimely death. This transition highlights the stark contrast between the adrenaline of the chase and the sobering reality of the legal system. The film's pacing is swift, though it occasionally feels like a slow motion advert for photochromic glasses, overall it's an engaging blend of action and drama.

*** Vettaiyan ( Hunter) Tamil Movie Review

Directed by T. J. GNANVEL starring Rajnikant in the lead role.

One Line Review : A social element conveyed with some Rajnisim.

T. J. Gnanvel who is known for his Jai Bhim , here also talks about some of the important issues of the society but it was more interesting to see how he inserted the Super Star into his story world.

If this was conveyed as T. J Gnanvel style it could have been experience of Jai Bhim but when it's when super star Rajnisim is required & we could see his whistle blowing moments thereby not loosening the commercial element.

Performance wise, Super Star flauntessly carried his character & of course when there are no Rajini moments the film would have been dull but he ignited with his usual swag.

Apart from Super Star, Fahadh Faasil performance stands. The chemistry with the Superstar worked out well. The other lead characters, Amitabh Bachchan , Ritika Singh, Manju Warrier , Dusshara Vijayan had done their parts well.

The only miscast was Rana Daggubati . His villainism didn't spark well as the character had a wildness but the outcome was poor.

Anirudh's music & proper BGM was whistle blowing.

Overall Vettaiyan delivers entertainment with a social message reminder.
