Is Vettaiyan good or bad? Netizens share mixed reviews of Rajinikanth starrer

Vettaiyan stars Thalaivar as an encounter specialist whose extra-judicial ways catch the eyes of the law enforcers. According to the first reviews on social media, the film has received a mixed response from the fans. The highlights of the film are said to be Rajinikanth's intro scene, investigation sequences and action, all boosted by Anirudh Ravichander's music. Fahadh Faasil's performance and Amitabh Bachchan 's confrontation scenes with Rajinikanth are also being liked by the audiences.

Videos of crowds assembling early morning outside cinema halls to watch the first show of Vettaiyan have been going viral on social media. It is evident that Rajinikanth's star power is at play here. All eyes will be on whether the movie will be able to open better than the Tamil star's last year release Jailer. At the box office, Vettaiyan will go head-to-head with GOAT, starring Thalapathy Vijay, which is the biggest Tamil hit this year so far.

Negative reviews of Vettaiyan flood the internet

While a section of the audience praised Vettaiyan, a few shared negative reviews of the movie. "Watch Jai Bhim instead of Vettaiyan (sic)," wrote a moviegoer, another one commented, "Scattered screenplay & routine scenes offer very less impact emotionally. OK 1st Hlf & Preachy Lag 2nd. AVERAGE!"

"Poor acting from Rajini, Illogical fight scenes, average interval, Amitabh Bachchan dubbing was poor," read a negative review of Vettaiyan on X. It remains to be seen how the film performs at the box office, with the audiences seemingly divided.
