    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.

    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.

    Predictable but Enjoyable

    One cannot miss the chance to watch Rajini and Bachchan sharing screen for a movie. You just can't. Along with these two GOAT's, casting of Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati and Manju Warrier is just icing on the cake. Pat on the back for T. J. Gnanavel.

    Vettaiyan is an action packed, high octane crime thriller that despite its minor flaws, lack of logic, and predictable narrative is enjoyable till the end. Rajinikanth plays V Athiyan aka Vettaiyan, a police officer known for his foolproof encounters while Amitabh Bachchan is Justice Satyadev who contests that police encounters violate basic human rights and dishonours the Indian constitution. This is what this movie is all about, Vigilante Justice vs. Legal Justice.

    With powerful emotional moments and few twist & turns, this film is a treat for all the Rajini fans out there.

    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.

    Rajnisim in Social Element Story Telling

    *** Vettaiyan ( Hunter) Tamil Movie Review

    Directed by T. J. GNANVEL starring Rajnikant in the lead role.

    One Line Review : A social element conveyed with some Rajnisim.

    T. J. Gnanvel who is known for his Jai Bhim , here also talks about some of the important issues of the society but it was more interesting to see how he inserted the Super Star into his story world.

    If this was conveyed as T. J Gnanvel style it could have been experience of Jai Bhim but when it's when super star Rajnisim is required & we could see his whistle blowing moments thereby not loosening the commercial element.

    Performance wise, Super Star flauntessly carried his character & of course when there are no Rajini moments the film would have been dull but he ignited with his usual swag.

    Apart from Super Star, Fahadh Faasil performance stands. The chemistry with the Superstar worked out well. The other lead characters, Amitabh Bachchan , Ritika Singh, Manju Warrier , Dusshara Vijayan had done their parts well.

    The only miscast was Rana Daggubati . His villainism didn't spark well as the character had a wildness but the outcome was poor.

    Anirudh's music & proper BGM was whistle blowing.

    Overall Vettaiyan delivers entertainment with a social message reminder.
