Many times hand cooked dinner made of ready-made recipe with minimal effort would taste better than carefully made exotic feast. Lingusamy has just managed to do the former with his latest offering "Vettai". With minimal fuss & ready-made formula , he has given a engaging & fast- paced movie which is enjoyable.Instead of breaking his head in searching for inspirations from European or Asian movies, he has made a script based on Bhagyaraj's successful movie if the yore "Avasara police 100". Taking the basic premise from that movie he has woven over it a racy script with flashes of intelligence here & there. He has managed to keep the viewer engaged for the whole length of the movie leaving no scope to complain.Aarya has nothing much to do as far as acting is concerned , all he has to do is flex his muscles in numerous action sequences & shake his legs in the dance sequences. Madhavan has more scope to perform as a gullible elder brother who becomes a police inspector & who gets name and fame due to the actions of his younger brother. However it is rather shocking to see this once charming chocolate boy hero who has become so flabby that it looks quite uncomfortable when he tries to dance or perform action sequences.Both the heroines don't have much in terms of screen space. Amala Paul is cutie pie while Sameera Reddy is chilly Bajji.Ashutosh Rana comes in a routine villain character ably aided by "Thalaivasal " Vijay's dubbing. Nasser's is a confusing character , what is the relevance of his character to the main story & his mannerisms leaves a lot to be desired.Yuvan Shankar Raja's Music is below average , only "Papparapa" song managed to get the attention of the viewers.Nirav Shah does a okay job. Wonder what happened to the once talented cinematographer.Brinda Sarathy's dialogs are sharp & witty , able to bring out a comical vein throughout the narration.Lingusamy is back to his best on the lines of "Run" & "Sandakozhi" after slip-ups in his previous couple of movies.On the whole, "Vettai" is a racy masala entertainer without much logic or novelty.Bottomline : Tasty

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.

A another Masala movie. The film beginning was good;but the middle half of the film is too awful. Ordinary acting by the veteran Actors Arya and Madhavan, but the story and the dialogues seems much ordinary. There is no any support by the main two actress to the leading role, and at the same time Director was unable to suck the best from the Actors. Arya and Madhavan collaboration is a high and a very worth full one. But they doesn't suite for a script like this. Film released with lots of expectations but again, Linguswamy proved that he is good for just Masala kind movies. The music seems very awful and at the mean time Yuvan Shankar Raja proving again and again that he got couple of jingles to credit a film. At all a very ordinary movie for the Masala film lovers, but with a big collaboration.

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.
