Superstar Rajinikanth's latest film Vettayan, directed by T.J. Gyanvel, has hit the screens, bringing excitement to fans of the action genre. With an intense story, power-packed performances, and a strong technical team, the film attempts to offer a thrilling experience.
Story:
The story revolves around Athiyan (Rajinikanth), an encounter specialist who believes in delivering justice even if it requires going beyond the law. He crosses paths with Sharanya (Dushara Vijayan), a courageous school teacher fighting against injustice. Athiyan admires her bravery, but tragedy strikes when Sharanya is brutally murdered. The crux of the film lies in Athiyan?s quest to uncover the real killer after mistakenly taking down an innocent person in his quest for justice. Will Athiyan serve justice for Sharanya? Forms the story of the film.
Performances:
Rajinikanth?s portrayal of Athiyan is a treat for his fans. His style, charisma, and commanding screen presence elevate the film, particularly in the action sequences and the high-voltage emotional scenes. Amitabh's role, which focuses on punishing criminals who evade justice. Rana Daggubati impresses in his role, especially in the second half. Fahadh Faasil, Manju Warrier, and Ritika Singh also deliver commendable performances. The rest of the cast, including Abhirami, Dushara Vijayan, and Rao Ramesh, contribute well.
Technical Aspects:
Anirudh?s music, especially the background score, significantly enhances the impact of key action scenes and emotional moments. It adds intensity to the film?s atmosphere, particularly during Rajinikanth?s mass elevation scenes. The action scenes are shot realistically, with S.R. Kathir's cinematography capturing the raw and gritty essence of the movie. The film?s production values are top-notch, and the visuals complement the story's tone.
Review:
The initial half of Vettayan is gripping, particularly the murder mystery that sets the story in motion. The emotional undertones, combined with the action, keep the audience invested. But, the second half loses some of its momentum. The pacing slows down, particularly during the investigation sequences, and the film occasionally feels dragged. The conflict between Rana and Rajinikanth?s characters lacks the intensity and logic needed to truly grip the audience. Certain portions of the second half, especially the investigation scenes, feel unnecessarily stretched and could have benefited from tighter editing. Vettayan is a well-crafted crime-action thriller that relies heavily on Rajinikanth's charisma and style. Overall, Vettayan offers a mix of emotional and action-packed moments.
