The much-anticipated film Vettaiyan, starring superstar Rajinikanth, was released theatrically on Thursday (October 10). The movie marks Rajinikanth's first collaboration with director TJ Gnanavel and features an ensemble cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, and Manju Warrier, among others. After its theatrical run, the film will be available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video. However, the makers are yet to announce the exact date for its OTT release.
'Vettaiyan': A star-studded cop action drama
Vettaiyan is a cop action drama from the stable of Lyca Productions. The story revolves around extra-judicial killings, with Rajinikanth playing an encounter specialist. Rana Daggubati, Kishore, Ritika Singh, Dushara Vijayan, GM Sundar, Abirami, and Rohini, play important roles in the film. Anirudh Ravichander has composed the music and songs like Manasilaayo and Hunter Vantaar have already topped the charts.
'Vettaiyan' received mixed audience reactions, critical acclaim
Vettaiyan has received a mixed response from audiences. While some found the first half of the movie gripping and praised Gnanavel's direction and storytelling, others felt it was slow-paced with too many dialogue-heavy scenes. A user said, "All of a sudden, Thalaivar steals the show and evokes the entire theater to erupt with his style, dialogue, and intelligence." Despite the mixed reactions, the film has been well-received by critics who have lauded its music and cinematography as "top-notch."
'Vettaiyan' explores the clash of principles in quest for justice
The storyline explores the clash of principles between two senior police officers on their quest to deliver justice. This aspect of the story, especially the face-off between Rajinikanth and Bachchan's characters, is a huge draw for the audience. Bachchan was last seen as the immortal Ashwatthama in Kalki 2898 AD opposite Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, a role that earned him universal acclaim.
