The plot centres on Athiyan (Rajinikanth), an encounter specialist committed to bringing justice by any means necessary. Athiyan’s life is disrupted when Sharanya (Dushara Vijayan), a school teacher who opposes injustice, is brutally murdered.

Reception of Vettaiyan
While Vettaiyan featured Rajinikanth’s magnetic presence and a strong cast, it received mixed responses during its theatrical release. The film was praised for its thrilling action scenes and the on-screen dynamics between Rajinikanth and other leads, particularly Rana Daggubati. However, some critics felt that certain scenes in the second half could have benefited from tighter pacing and a more robust plot. Now on OTT, Vettaiyan has the potential to reach a broader audience who may bring a fresh perspective to the film’s compelling narrative.
