Viduthalai Part 2 is somewhat similar to 2003 Tamil Drama "Anbe Sivam" starring Kamal Hassan and Madhavan. Both of them are bases upon the Marxist ideology of equality and annihilation of oppressors. Yet both are completely different in a way that later one is slice-of-life comedy drama that has hint of violence while the former is cruel and brutal yet filled with raw emotion and political depth.
The second installment of 2023 version of Vetrimaaran's political crime drama is as gripping and thrilling as the first one. Part 1 was all about Soori's character Kumaresan, this part solely focuses on the rebellion leader Vaathiyar Perumal played by none other than Vijay Sethupathi. Isn't this enough to get everyone's attention!!!
Part 2 depicts the backstory behind the events that turned a school teacher into the leader of an extremist group. Perumal himself narrates his origin story to the policemen who are escorting him to a secure location after his arrest. Kumaresan is not completely out of picture though. Even after playing a significant role in the capturing of Perumal, he's still facing the moral dilemma, caught between his sense of duty and the brutal reality of the police force he's working for.
Background score from Ilaiyaraaja is spot on as it was in the earlier version along with brilliant visuals that make this an epic saga.

For now, "No one can convey their political ideology this better and stronger than Vetrimaaran"
Undoubtedly this is the best political drama film this year
Totally just awesome even though the film gets lagged sometime as it potentially needed for conveying ideas clearly.
Another remarkable thing is that no perspective is taken as lite and perspective of people,police, officers and politicians are clear. Without representation the whole police or group as bad they are differentiated by there understandings and desires with was very clear as the second protagonist itself a police who gave up law due to his helplessness but, not because that every police officers are bad .
The female lead is from higher caste who is nice to everyone .mainly no one group is totally represented as bad and ugly like some tamil directors movie this is where Vetrimaaran stands apart from others that he is trying to represent reality mostly instead of showing support to one side totally by make everyone who is opposite as bad!
The character writting of Perumal and Kumaresan was sticked to the point and conveying the main ideologies through them was just brilliant and amazing "Totally a must watch MASTERPIECE"

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.

Stories of people who are in authority (capitalism) are sculptured as history but the history of people who fought for the oppressed and minorities with (communism) ideology are not even being written as stories. This ideology is still prevailing and will prevail until common people are given the authority.
It's a crime for Vetrimaaran to direct a movie that is too good and convey messages like these which are important for the future generations.
This film as a single masterpiece has made an everlasting impact on me and I hope that stories like these should be encouraged in Tamil cinema. Already the reviews are bashing its way to the top as being Vetrimaaran's best film and I personally thought that no film would be equal to Vada Chennai in future but, Viduthalai has proved me wrong. However there will be some people criticising every movie that gets released. For those people, whoever criticises this is not criticising the movie and the direction but to be understood in a way that he is supporting capitalism and not aligning with Vetrimaaran's or ours ideology.
