Vettaiyan Movie Review: A Conflicted Take on Extrajudicial Justice in Tamil Cinema

In Tamil cinema, cops are often shown as bold and action-oriented, using their guns without hesitation. This portrayal has been around for a long time and doesn't seem to be going away. That's why a film like Vettaiyan is important—it challenges this image. Indian cinema needs to rethink how it glorifies police officers, especially when it comes to encounter killings.

However, Vettaiyan has its own issues. The main character, Athiyan (played by Rajinikanth), is a trigger-happy cop who is shown as heroic for far too long, making it hard for the film’s eventual message to truly hit home.

Judge Satyadev (Amitabh Bachchan), who represents the moral side of the story, starts by questioning the idea of calling encounter specialists heroes. Meanwhile, Athiyan doesn’t wait for the law to take its course, believing in quick justice. His reasoning is that "justice delayed is justice denied." But as Judge Satyadev points out, "justice hurried is justice buried."

Vettaiyan struggles to find balance between these two views, leaving the film feeling a bit lost and confused in its message.
