Reception of Vettaiyan
Although Vettaiyan featured Rajinikanth’s magnetic presence and a strong cast, it received mixed responses during its theatrical release. The film was praised for its thrilling action sequences and the on-screen dynamics between Rajinikanth and other lead actors, especially Rana Daggubati. However, some critics felt that certain scenes in the second half could have benefited from a tighter pace and a more robust plot.
