Vettaiyan follows SP Athiyan (Rajinikanth), a no-nonsense police officer who is forced to re-examine his approach to dispensing justice when his decision-making leads to the loss of an innocent life.

The Indian Express review of the movie read, “What really works for Vettaiyan is the central conceit of the film, and the commentary on India’s education system. Vettaiyan goes into some interesting places, and ruffles a few feathers. The intent is on point, and the execution too isn’t faulty either. Probably why the detours to elevate the superstar at the centre of it all dilute the proceedings. Also, the film is predictable to a fault, and it takes away from the kind of tension associated with such procedurals. It also doesn’t help Vettaiyan’s case, considering one of the biggest names of the cast isn’t introduced till almost three-fourths of the film.”

With a worldwide gross of around Rs 250 crore, Vettaiyan was seen as a box office under-performer. The film will land on Prime Video on the same day that Kareena Kapoor’s The Buckingham Murders debuts on Netflix.
