Viduthalai Part 2

Vetri Maaran's latest film is a big political statement, but it's a bit too complex, especially when compared to the straightforward Viduthalai Part 1. The story picks up from where the last movie left off, tackling themes of caste, politics, and revolution. The cinematography is striking, and Vijay Sethupathi delivers a standout performance, but the film feels cramped, like it's trying to fit too much into too little time. It might have been more effective as a TV series, with more room to flesh out the characters and the plot. Vetri Maaran's unique style peeks through occasionally, but it's often smothered by preachy dialogues. In the end, the film leaves us with a sense of unfulfilled potential.

Vetri had done something not many can do. I know he lived in North Arcot district in his early days. I have heard few stories about Naxalits and i can see he had heard too 😊

Dialogues were poweful and it's a politics lesson for all. It's coming at a time right wing is dominating india.

As always Sethu supporting these kinds of movie is not new but hats off again.

End of the day, i was wondering why Vetri did this movie. For sure this got less scope for a blockbuster movie like aadukalam or vada chennai. I see this as, Vetri liked to share what a communist party and back in days, the so called naxalites got created. More than that, he makes us all feel violence is not a solution but politicizing people is the solution, which is what Thiruma keeps saying 😊

Must watch movie👌

Viduthalai Part 2 is a masterstroke by Vetrimaaran, blending emotional depth with gripping intensity. Vijay Sethupathi shines as Vaathiyaar, delivering a performance that is both commanding and poignant. Soori's portrayal of Kumaresan brings raw vulnerability, making the moral dilemmas even more impactful. The film's visuals are stunning, with every frame telling its own story, while Ilaiyaraaja's score heightens the tension beautifully. The narrative strikes a balance between action and emotion, leaving you deeply moved. A compelling and unforgettable sequel that cements its place as a standout in Tamil cinema.

Showcased what are the injustice done to the oppressed people.

How industrial revolution happened in tamilnadu and who are the backbone behind it. And people failed to recognise them and government who portrayed them as villain. And there is no end for revolution and revolutionist. For every time and then such revolution are being done and will be done by people who are at ground and working Acting by VJs is 10/10. Kishore and manju warrier are great balance to the story. Suri is us who watched this injustice and taken perfect decision that is required for this world. Kudos to Vetri in sculpturing this story.

While viduthalai-1 is classic elevated by Suri, viduthalai-2 is good but many parts look cliched and over reaching. Vijay sethupati has acted well as always but would not say brilliant. Gautam menon have same wooden expression as in umpteen films. He is miscast. Anurag kashyap still has the same cheeky expression of a paanwalah. Sethupathy and Anurag kashyap look too well fed for the radicals they were portraying. The guys portraying chief secretary, collector and SP are mere caricatures. The locations, photography brilliant. For his standards, expected much more from Vetrimaran. Still a good movie.
