Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The movie was good. Everybody acted good in the movie The movie was somewhat boring in 2nd half. Songs and BGM in the movie was not so good.

Vettai is a typical Linguswamy style mass masala entertainer. The Director come writer's main aim is to entertain the viewers who like such kind of films and he became successful in that.Vettai is the story about two brothers. The elder one Thiru murthy(Madhavan)is a coward one still in this age. At the same time, his younger brother Guru Murthy(Aarya) is brave enough to fight alone with anyone. Their father was a police officer and he will die while he was in the service. So as per the rule one son will get the job in Police. Since Thiru is the elder one and Guru has some petty police cases, every one suggest Thiru to join the force. But because of his cowardness he won't agree with that. But everyone compel him and finally he agrees.Thus Thiru will take charge as the police officer. But when a case of some child kidnap came he will be afraid to proceed with the case. At that time Guru came forward to help his brother. He fight with the villains and save the child. The credit will be given to Thiru. Thus Thiru became a bravest officer for others. The same happens every time.At the same time they will got married to two girls who were also sisters. Thiru will be married to the elder one Vasanthi(Sameera Reddy) and Guru to the younger one Jayanthi(Amala Paul).As the movie goes forward as usual there will happen some problems between the Heroes and villains. The villains will understand that Guru is the real guy who fight against them. So they beat Thiru and he will be hospitalized with lot of fractures and all. But Guru won't take revenge against the villains. He compel Thiru to come back and take the revenge for all these. At last Thiru will make a great come back and the brothers will fight against the villains and make their victory.

The multistarrer with Arya and Madhavan playing the lead has the typical makings of a Lingusamy film. The casting of Madhavan and Arya was good, but their acting skills have not been put to much use. Although the film starts on an interesting note it soon takes a very predictable story-line. The director has also included an equal number of songs for both the lead pairs :Arya- Amala and Madhavan-Sameera in order to give them equal weight- age. As the film moves on the action sequences become a bit boring but the good editing and camera work captures our interest back. Released on a festive season the film gives the people that mood and surely wouldn't be that bad an outing for anyone.

After the success of Paiyaa, Lingusamy's Vettai was eagerly anticipated especially with Arya and Madhavan in the leads. Vettai is about a cowardly police SI, Thiru (Madhavan) being posted to Toothukudi where the cops are powerless to uphold law and order. Thiru enlists the help of his younger brother, Guru (Arya) to help him fight the criminals and the praises are showered on Thiru. When Thiru seizes the lorries belonging to Annachi (Ashutosh Rana) with the help of Guru, it ignites a battle between the dreaded gangster and the cowardly cop.Meanwhile, there is Vasanthi (Sameera Reddy) who hates Guru after some unpleasant encounters. Vasanthi then gets married to Thiru and there is a cute romantic track between Vasanthi's sister, Jayanthi (Amala Paul) and Guru.The first half of the movie is laced with comedy sequences while the second half onwards, it shifts to a racy action-thriller mode. Madhavan, back into action-oriented roles after a long time impresses. He shifts from a cowardly character to a rough cop with finesse. Arya, undoubtedly is the star of the film. His comic antics remind u of Boss from Boss Engira Bhaskaran. Sameera Reddy as the loud-mouthed Vasanthi is excellent while Amala Paul shines in a different avatar this time out. Ashutosh Rana as Annachi is just impressive in his Tamil debut. He reacts with aplomb and fights well too. Thambi Ramaiah and Nasser provide funny moments in the police station as Thiru's colleague and superior respectively. Lookout for special appearances by Raju Sundaram, art director Rajeevan and Lingusamy himself.The technical strength of the film is surely the camera-work of Nirav Shah. Be it the songs or the action sequences, all of it were brilliantly shot. Yuvan Shankar Raja's songs are good with Thaiya Thakka and Katti Pudi stand out. The BGM is good and apt. Stunts by Silva is impressive while Anthony's editing maintains the pace of the film at a reasonable level.Madhavan got his action avatar in Lingusamy's Run which was a massive hit and reprises that in Vettai in a toned-down scale. An action-hero avatar is looming for Arya. Vettai is a neatly-packaged entertainer by Lingusamy who makes films with different themes.
