Vettaiyan Review | Vishal Menon | THR India
Vishal Menon reviews "Vettaiyan," the latest film from director T.J. Gnanavel starring Rajinikanth. This cop drama goes beyond the typical action-packed narrative, delving into complex moral dilemmas and challenging audience expectations.
The film follows SP Ajith, a trigger-happy police officer known for his quick case resolutions. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes a thought-provoking exploration of conscience, the rule of law, and the evolution of its protagonist. Vishal Menon discusses how the film subverts the usual tropes associated with Rajinikanth's star persona, creating a more nuanced and human character.
With strong performances from the supporting cast, including Fahadh Faasil and Amitabh Bachchan, "Vettaiyan" offers a fresh take on the cop drama genre. Vishal Menon analyzes the film's political undertones, its connection to T.J. Gnanavel's previous work, and its impact on the audience.
