Bang on target
“Vettaiyan”
– Review
Rajinikanth is an encounter specialist who believes in delivering justice, even if it means crossing moral lines.
His life takes a tumultuous turn when he meets Dushara Vijayan, a courageous school teacher who stands firm against injustice.
Tragically, she is murdered in a shocking turn of events, pushing Rajinikanth into a labyrinth of questions: Who killed her? How did he inadvertently get involved in a case that leads to an innocent’s death?
And what will he do to expose the real culprit? How Rana Daggubati is connected to her death forms the core plot of the movie.
Director T.J. Gnanavel skilfully balances action with emotional storytelling.
Gnanavel has managed to deliver the mass moments needed for a Rajini movie and has also conveyed the message he wanted to tell without any compromise.
The film shines with electrifying mass moments and exhilarating action sequences.
Rajinikanth’s portrayal of the formidable encounter specialist is mesmerising, showcasing his trademark style and charisma.
Amitabh immerses himself deeply into his role, adding gravitas to the narrative.
Rana delivers a strong performance, especially as his character evolves in the second half.
Fahadh Faasil’s role adds further layers to the story. Supporting performances from Manju Warrier and Ritika Singh, along with actors like Abhirami, Dushara Vijayan, Rohini, and Rao Ramesh, contribute significantly to the film’s depth.
Anirudh Ravichander’s music stands out, particularly his background score during action sequences S.R. Kathir’s cinematography captures the essence of the action beautifully.
Rating: 4.5/5
