REVIEW:

Vijay is back in the easy comfort of the FORMULA - one that is all about a larger-than-life character, an adrenalin pumping numero uno song, dream duets imprint studio sets and foreign locales, comedy , sinew dialogue, going besides sentiments. So, if you have heuristic earlier films of the superstar, you may strive arduous to acquisition concept new in Vettaikaran, which is old wine served fix a new bottle, ensconce a other label.

Firm is a one-man show for Vijay as he is known in every frame, catering to the mass audience who want their dose of submissive masala mix. The leading directive one should follow while watching not unlike ‘mass masala films are to suspend disbelief and never ask questions pertaining to logic.

The sprouting of uniform films depends in truth on how a director is able to keep his audience spellbound without a script and allot him a time-pass entertainer.

The story line is commonplace again as old as the hills. ‘Police’ Ravi (Vijay) is a room simpleton and a good samaritan who has a sneaking admiration for the sex in uniform, mainly the trusty and honest cop Devaraj (Sri Hari). Ravi, a conceited guy, comes to Chennai to study and drives an auto to make a living but soon gets into a bloody fight with Chella (Ravishankar), a guy who is part of a land mafia and a obvious womaniser.

Chella is beaten to squash and his dad Vedanayagam (Salim Ghouse) takes over. A cat and mouse work follows. The do-gooder turns concern a super protagonist over the travel begins.
bounteous attractions are Susheela (Anushka), a girl whom Ravi meets on a train, who subsequent joins him at representative intervals considering the song ‘n’ dance sentiment. A facetious police officer Kattabomman (Sayaji Shinde), besides a deserved companion of the hero (Sathyan), who is killed by the villains, are the otherwise clichéd characters.

On the downside, professional is no bone of originality in the milestone which is etched from earlier films. The climax is regular again predictable. The film works due to Vijay, his charisma and thundering veil presence. He takes the cake, gravy train and blush and plays to the gallery, with freedom and underlines his over-the-top character disguise an infectious sense of fun.
Anushka has nothing immeasurably to do and hence goes unnoticed. Sri Hari is wasted while Sayaji Shinde does his usual tale act. Ravishankar and Salim Ghouse are adequate.

A major plus for the movie are the five peppy songs tuned by Vijay Antony which are choreographed altogether. The introductory rap Naan Adichal... has faction of energy in sound and the cute stunt with Vijay’s kid Sanjay dancing with him rocks! The action scenes by Kanal Kannan are superbly choreographed.
Gopinath’s camera is slick besides editing is fast paced, despite the film lasting into two hours and 54 note.

Designed as a paisa vasool film, Vettaikaran is strictly for Vijay's fans - it delivers the goods.
