Watchable Cop Drama that Stumbles at Parts!

The Vetrimaaran stamp indeed exists, but not as strong as his previous works. Decently engaging and it is solely due to the cop drama and the internal conflicts within the system. The never ending socio-political talkie conversations are extremely dull.(more)

A solid political drama that ought to have been more powerful

Where Viduthalai: Part 2 feels underwhelming is in not being a truly compelling film.

Viduthalai Part 2 still intrigues with its take on what freedom means and what it costs.

Viduthalai Part 2 sports an array of characters with different shades of evil. If Rajiv Menon�s character is bureaucratic evil, Chetan plays an egotistical maniac who�s ready to kill to save his pride. Vetri stuffs the film with a slew of such characters and there�s an attempt to add individuality ...(more)

Vijay Sethupathi powers Vetrimaaran's sprawling revolutionary saga that needed more balance

The film doesn�t mince words in its political stance, and raises an important and loud voice about the need for educating, organising and agitating. It is wonderful how Vaathiyaar�s ideologies goes through various layers of self-introspection, and it also poses a few pertinent questions to any organ...(more)
