    Rajni mass missing. But a good movie with good content

    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.

    Vettaiyan - Rajini vilayaattu

    Vettaiyan offers a compelling narrative that aptly explores the theme of "justice hurried is justice buried." While it might not fully embody director Gnanavel's signature style, it succeeds as a Rajinikanth film with Gnanavel's touch visible throughout.

    The first half is engaging, well-paced, and filled with moments that keep you invested. However, the second half lacks the same punch, and it feels like it could have been tighter in terms of pacing and storytelling. Despite this, the cast delivers solid performances-Fahad, Ritika, Kishore, Dushara, and Amitabh all play their roles well, seamlessly contributing to the overall story. Anirudh music is repetitive.

    Overall, Vettaiyan is a good watch, especially for those who appreciate a blend of commercial appeal with a strong underlying message, but it could have been even better with a more impactful second half.

    A Thalaivar-Powered Action Drama with a Flawed Second Half

    "Vettaiyan" is a thrilling action drama that delivers on its promise of Rajinikanth's signature style and mass appeal. The film's engaging story, coupled with Thalaivar's powerful screen presence and goosebump-inducing moments, makes for a captivating first half.

    Rajinikanth's performance as the titular character is a major highlight, showcasing his charisma and commanding presence. The action sequences are well-choreographed and visually impressive, providing ample moments of excitement for fans.

    However, the film falters in its second half, with a screenplay that loses momentum and becomes predictable. While the initial intrigue and suspense are maintained for a while, the narrative struggles to sustain its grip, leading to a somewhat underwhelming climax.

    Despite its flaws, "Vettaiyan" remains an entertaining watch for Rajinikanth fans and those seeking an action-packed drama. The film's strong performances, particularly from Rajinikanth, and its engaging first half make it worth watching. However, be prepared for a second half that doesn't quite live up to the initial promise.

    Didn't have to be that long

    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.

    A potentially great movie turned into an average one through compromises made for Mr. Rajinikanth.

    Honestly speaking the movie was quite good,

    The movie explored the controversial topic of police encounters and the politics behind them, as well as the scams involving online education institutes, which was commendable.

    The movie could have just ended with the arrest of the antagonist Rana Daggubati, but it doesn't, it goes on to the unbelievable plot of Rana escaping the very strong police force just like that and trying to flee the country via helicopter to a cruise. This leads Mr Rajinikanth to fly to the scene with style in a helicopter single-handedly facing a mini army of villain troops. And then yet again arresting him. After a long fight showcasing his fit-for-nothing style.

    The climax fight was totally unwanted and I'm pretty sure it would have been from the request of the hero to showcase his mass masala strength. Because the movie director's previous film Jai Bhim starring Surya was totally close to actuality and had no masala nonsense. The movie could have just ended with the arrest of the antagonist.

    It's high time we throw away these so-called mass moments and concentrate on better filmmaking and close-to-reality movies. Just my opinion.
