Imagine a cop so relentless that he’s earned the title of 'hunter' in the force. Sharp, decisive, and willing to use lethal force, he represents the complex nature of justice. But the film poses a critical question: is this really justice, or is it justifiable? To understand these, you should watch TJ Gnanavel's latest film 'Vettaiyan', starring Rajinikanth.
Rajinikanth is in top form here, bringing his trademark charisma and action prowess to the screen. While the opening scenes might evoke memories of his previous film, 'Jailer,' directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, 'Vettaiyan' carves out its own identity with a social theme at its heart.
While Rajinikanth serves as the film's anchoring force, his character remains in a grey area. Amitabh Bachchan also delivers a powerful presence, but both actors lack the impactful dialogue that could foster a deeper connection with viewers. This invites a natural comparison to Gnanavel's 'Jai Bhim,' as both films tackle social issues. However, while 'Jai Bhim' effectively instils a sense of urgency and seriousness around these topics, 'Vettaiyan' falls short in that regard.
