Box Office Performance

The film’s box office performance has also been discussed. Industry analysts are closely watching the numbers, with some predicting a slow start due to the mixed reviews. However, others remain optimistic about its long-term success. “It’s too early to call it a disaster. Let’s wait and see how it performs over the next few weeks,” said a film critic.

“Vettaiyan” Plot

“Vettaiyan” is an action drama that follows the story of SP Ajith IPS, a renowned encounter specialist played by Rajinikanth. The plot centers around his relentless pursuit of justice in a world of corruption and crime. Ajith’s life takes a dramatic turn when he encounters a suspect accused of murder, forcing him to confront his moral compass while battling against corrupt powers.

Amitabh Bachchan stars as DGP Sathyadev Pande, a retired judge who leads the investigation against Ajith after a controversial encounter. The film also features Fahadh Faasil as Patrick, a key figure in Ajith’s journey, and Manju Warrier as Thara, Ajith’s supportive wife.
