Top Reviewers:
TELUGU 360 (Rating: 2.75/5):
If the audience enters into the auditorium without expectations, Vettaiyan makes a decent one time watch.
Great Andhra (Rating: 3/5):
TJ.Gnanavel with Vettaiyan The Hunter turned Super Star Rajinikanth as a powerful messenger to the society. Little fine-tuning of the script would have added more firepower.
Mirchi9 (Rating: 2/5):
Overall, Jai Bhim director’s attempt at delivering a message through beaten tropes results in something that is neither here nor there. Even with a relevant message, Vettaiyan fails to make any emotional impact and lacks any particular highs throughout.
123TELUGU (Rating: 2.75/5):
On the whole, Vettaiyan is a crime action drama that works to an extent. It showcases Rajinikanth’s magnetic presence and stellar acting, complemented by powerful emotional moments and thrilling action. On the flip side, some scenes feel prolonged, and the second half lacks the same urgency as the first. The film ultimately caters to fans of the Superstar and enthusiasts of gripping action thrillers. Keep your expectations in check if you want to watch it.
Times Of India (Rating: 3/5):
Finally, as the credits of Vettaiyan roll, yours truly was left with the thought about the film being better served with a ‘smaller’ star. A star who wouldn’t overwhelm the film, and allow it to breathe. Because confining Rajinikanth to a box isn’t easy as the world is still grappling with the dichotomy of being torn between wanting to see Rajinikanth in a new avatar, and wanting to see him exude style and charisma like old times. What do we really want? Well, the hunt for the answer is on.
