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.

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.

Vettaiyan unfolds in two gripping parts, combining high-octane police encounters with a poignant examination of justice. The first half immerses viewers in thrilling action, showcasing relentless chase sequences and dramatic shootouts. However, the narrative shifts post-intermission, focusing on the legal intricacies of seeking justice after an untimely death. This transition highlights the stark contrast between the adrenaline of the chase and the sobering reality of the legal system. The film's pacing is swift, though it occasionally feels like a slow motion advert for photochromic glasses, overall it's an engaging blend of action and drama.
I had no expectations on this one, I badly wanted to like this movie, and the movie ended up as a satisfactory watch to me.
The 1st half is relatively better, stuck to crime thriller genre, and set good stage for 2nd half.
However, the 2nd half meandered between several subplots, had few flaws, and never took off to the next level.
The film could use a stronger antagonist in terms of writing and character development. He seemed like any other corporate criminal.
It is a challenge to blend realism & Rajni but the director is decently successful in doing it. The movie could have been a bit better but it is not bad either. Ani did justice to the film wherever he can, especially, for the intro scene.

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.
