#ABs_View ©️ *Movie Review: Vettaiyan* Plot: Athiyan (Rajinikanth), a renowned encounter specialist, believes in encounters as a solution to crime. On the other hand, Sathyadev (Amitabh Bachchan), a human rights officer, strongly opposes encounters. What happens when they meet for a common case? Does encounter really solve crimes, and is it handled correctly? The rest of the story explores these questions, tackling online NEET coaching scams and breaking stereotypes. *First Half:* The movie starts slowly, followed by Rajinikanth's iconic intro. It takes 30-35 minutes to set the stage and dive into the core plot, culminating in an intense interval block. *Second Half:* The second half is racy and gripping, with excellent investigation episodes and minimal Rajinism. High moments abound, particularly the lift scene, which will evoke emotions. The climax fight feels unnecessary. *Positives:* - Rajinikanth shines as a subtle cop. - Amitabh Bachchan delivers a strong performance. - "Manasilaayo" song is a celebration of Rajinikanth's charisma. - FaFa (Patrick/Battery) keeps the movie engaging. - The bond between Athiyan and Battery is memorable. - Special mentions: Dushara (Sharanya), Asal Kolaar (Guna), and Ritika (Roopa). - Nataraj (Rana) is terrific, except for the climax fight. - Anirudh's music is a major plus. *Negatives:* - Sharanya's character fails to create strong emotional connectivity. - Predictable second half and average climax. - Unnecessary fights, especially the climax. - Underutilized roles for Rohini, Rakshan, Abirami, and Manju Warrier. *Overall:* Director @tjgnan successfully delivers a strong social message with India's two biggest superstars. Vettaiyan addresses important topics entertainingly, making it a decent entertainer for both general audiences and fans. *RECOMMENDED!*
