The movie was worst. Nobody acted good in the movie. Nothing was good in the movie. Songs and BGM were also worst in the movie. The movie was so boring.
I did have the fine experience of watching this film in Devi Theater, Chennai. Felt good then. On later viewings, felt this is a generic and template commercial masala film. Overall the Telugu actor who did encounter specialist role was good. I wonder why Salim Ghouse dropped out of Saguni(which was a much better film) and agreed to a do a role like this. A guy who did Vetri Vizha.. a horrible way to sign out.
vettaikaran is typical mass masala entertainer from vijay..the story and the plot have been used million times in tamil cinema...
the first half is racy and has lot of fun...vijay's screen presence is magnificent...rarely we can see a hero doing such a great effort in variety of areas like dance, fight, comedy and definitely vijay is one among them..he has the sole responsibility to satisfy the people and his fans..as i said ..he is doing it quite good.. the second half is a total mess, but the songs are awesome.
i recommend this movie if you are looking for some fun and entertainment..

This movie was good and though it has not deviated from the masala style, Vijay has acted well enough to make it entertaining. The comedy in the first half, especially the one between Vijay and Anushka is good. If Vivek or Vadivelu had been inserted, it would have been more entertaining. Salim Ghouse has acted well enough to be a typical Villain in a Vijay film. But the few drawbacks are there which could have been taken care of. The villain doesn't over react or get tensed when he is facing even his son's death! Also, Anushka's acting is typical Telugu style which spoils the movie. The whole movie was made like a Telugu one, which should have been changed.
Vijay's much-awaited film Vettaikaaran has come out with good response among his fans. Though the title makes you remember the yesteryear blockbuster movie, this film is a complete masala entertainer. Debut director Babu Sivan has become a lucky charm for Vijay in this action extravaganza.
THE CHARACTERS Ravi (Vijay), a youngster with lots of dreams about his future, makes his journey from Tuticorin to Chennai. On the way, he sees Suseela (Anushka) and falls in love with her instantaneously. Sayaji Shinde plays the bad cop who does everything to please Devanayakam (Salim Ghouse). Devanayakam uses Sayaji to protect his son Chella (Ravi Shankar) who tries to spoil the life of his fellow classmate Uma (Sanchitha Padukone).
THE PLOT Ravi is a happy youth who somehow finishes his schooling and makes his way to Chennai to achieve his long dream of becoming a cop. His inspiration was Sri Hari, a tough cop he admires from childhood. He joins a Chennai college and makes ends meet by driving an auto rickshaw. Like all masala movies, there is a love angle. Ravi falls in love with Suseela and wins her heart with the help of her grandmother. But life is not smooth sailing for this young man. His chance encounter with Chella changes the course of his life. Chella spoils the life of Uma, who is Ravi's classmate. When he tries to fight Chella, he faces trouble from Chella's father Devanayakam, the major villain of the story. What happens next? How does Ravi face the bad men? Catch Vettaikaaran to know.
THE TECHNIQUE Performance Vijay's recreates his magic on screen, after several not so good performers at the box office. The film's punch dialogues have received a huge round of applause from his fans. Be it romantic scenes or action sequences or comedy track or punch dialogues, Vijay has satisfied his fans immensely in every scene. Anushka plays the glam doll with just a few scenes and a couple of songs.
Director: Babu Sivan Babu Sivan shows no signs of being a newcomer. After playing safe by casting Vijay in this commercial flick, he has done a good job.
Music: Vijay Antony The songs are peppy and are already a big hit. 'En Uchimandai', 'Chinna Thamarai' and 'Puli Urumudhu' are the most popular ones. The picturisation of the songs has added to the charm of the music. Great work by Vijay Antony VERDICT The movie is an absolute treat for all Ilayathalapathy Vijay fans.
