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.

Vettaikaran a mass masala entertainer with no logic. But does cinema need logic? Cinema is something where the unimaginable things are done. Cinema is something to showcase things not possible in real life, if logic alone exits then there wouldn't be an industry named Hollywood. But since its kollywood, we'll talk abt what persists here. Vettaikaran is a film for the masses. And to be true, am a big fan of commercial entertainers which makes ur heartbeat throttle for more and i found this film was one of the best for a mass hero like Vijay. Action sequences were the only thing which i found was insane. stupid fight scenes with too much dust. Otherwise its a decent film which has all the elements for a family entertainer. The film offers all the necessary ingredients for a good meal. And it did good business at the box office which the producer claimed to be one of the biggest grossers under their banner. I found the film interesting, and to people who need logic are supposed to watch out for adaptations and films based on real life incidents where things have to look more real. Pls dnt step in watching all kinds of films and post stupid comments here. Cinema is cinema. try differentiating genres
Vettaikaran is a nice racy entertainer with all ingredients for fans and other that they can watch more than one time because of the VIJAY's style fight dialog and songs.....
the movie is a clean movie that has love comedy action.....its mainly for vi jay fans.....the most collected record collection for sun pictures....its already declared as a super hit movie by sun pictures after Ayan and Padikathavan....Vettaikaran broke the collection records of these movie and becomes at the 1st position.....Songs have done a great job to this movie thats hatsoff to vijay antony for all the songs....also mass song "Puliurumudhu" for Vijay's style and getups...also lovely songs "Chinna thamarai","Karikalan","En uchimandela", and the intro song "Naan adicha thangamatte"...all songs was superb and Vijay performed well in all songs also Anushka...
A festival for Vijay fans and others....a watchable movie.......Overall a festival for Vijay fans enjoy..........

I think Y The peoples Looking for The logic in this movie.. it's a rural mass masala film..Vijay Swag,+ Screen presence Was 👌
Such A entertaining Movie.. Just Enjoyed it..
Stop wasting money in this type of movie and spend money for poor people.
100% Kadikarran.
Vettaikaran title did not suit for this movie, since Bagavathy movie story already used in diff way,they might have chosed Bagavathy 2 or hero character name.
Many people asked same question in this movie, How come a gangster head suddenly become a Political minister without winning in election?????
gangster-head met some person, no idea who is he, but he has rights to make him minister without political party meeting or what ever it is.
movie 1st half no story, just done with heroin. why because producer paid much for her. 2nd half, no one was not able to understand why all those new scenes are coming in action. like villain said, in 3 months hero become big gangster. next to this scene, hero got enthu song where all people will pray for hero and looking help.
Movie seems like they made lengthy movie but don't know how to work on editing section. all frames are like artificially attached, it doesn't has normal flow to understand.
as like everyone words, vijai cant success on original stories, he has to be always remake hero from other language movies.
questions : 1- in which college we are getting 1st year degree admission for aged people ? 2- can any gangster become Political Minister without winning election ? 3- in which police station,officers can have haircoloring by their junior police officer ? 4- Encounter specialist can shoot villains, but when he saw gangster in his, why cant he shoot them ? 5- in chennai which 4 corner road doesn't have traffic police in rush area ? 6- is people still there to believe all 0% logical movies ?
----------- Most wanted question :
Can we use our car remote locking, when car is completely under water ? also if we lock car from outside, outsider cant go inside but people who are inside can come out from car right. but our hero did a brilliant( his brain) job in it, he locked car from outside, so that villain cant come out from car, bcos its locked :).
even if hero doesn't lock , villain will die in water bcos he don't know swimming. but he died inside the car in 0% no water , why bcos our hero already locked car from outside ( note : all windows and doors locked ) .
----------
English movie director shows their imagination power in screen, always they make story and select
suitable hero's. Tamil movie director's was making movies with message where public should understand life nature. but now few director making movie for hero and writing suitable story without any logical way and makes public fool.
Movies like " Nadodigal " has 100% logical story. that movie has no popular face, all new actors, that made huge success.
Since this movie 2nd half actions dint have continues line and it seems like trailer, why bcos all scenes are like attached artificially.
Kindly wait for few months, you can watch this movie on popular TV channels during festival time.
