Lingusamy in Vettai

Vettai after watching the movie I did have anything coming to my mind regarding what to write? How to write?? I don’t mean that the movie is bad but it’s the same old script inky pinky ponky father had a donkey father died donkey cried inky pinky ponky, But later thought to review the attempts taken in the movie both positive and negative ones.

First comes to our mind is The Director Lingusamy known for his racy scripts which take the three hours in a matter of puffs you get in to the theatre, you have a pop corn done 1st half is complete, then have a large coke the climax yes ! The villain dies yeah!! The hero wins J what.. The..?? Movie is done ?! What then ??? I gave 120Rs for just to drink a coke and to have popcorn ??

Same thing happens here in Vettai too 1st the film has Bi’s in all, like
2 heroes
2 heroines
2 producers
2 villains

Lucky the music is from 1 Music director and cinematography by 1 camera man.

First Hero Madhavan happy to see a hero without 6 packs. Maddy joins with the same director after Run(2002) a gap of twenty movies to the first. Maddy plays the story line of the movie and once again proves that he is worth a mass actor who can do roles both the ways romantic and action. Plays Husband to Sameera Reddy and Cop.



Not to forget the second hero Arya, who is the screenplay of the movie. Who is a jobless rogue.

The story line needs to be revealed here, after the death of their father, a police officer, and the elder brother (Maddy) takes on the same job by request of the younger (Arya). The older brother rises to fame in his job by having his younger brother secretly punish suspects and save victims for him. This angers two of the village's biggest mob bosses (Ashutosh Rana ) and (Muthukumar) , who begin to seek revenge on the elder brother. After getting severely beaten by them, the elder brother loses his fear and becomes physically stronger through training from his younger brother. How the brothers get back at two gangs and protect their families form the rest of the story.




First heroine Sameera Reddy who plays the wife of cop is introduced with a black colored half sari and a song with her younger sister. The movie has two songs in a sequence the heroes and the heroines takes first twenty minutes of the movies shows Lingu’s speed. Next twenty minutes to introduce the villains done 1st half. Best part is the light weight comedy of Arya with Amala Paul who happens to be his wife later.so both brothers marry the sisters which all started from Vanaja Girija (1994).

The character of both the heroines have suited that they look like sisters in real and the costume is also suited well that they look chic and in the legacy attire makes us believe that they are sisters in real. Technically Nirav Shah has concentrated a lot on the location of Thoothukudi and its surroundings but fight seems to be taken at Binny mills a known location for most of the Tamil movies. The color correction done in the movies is cool.

The characters are made such a way that the first hero is too sensitive to violence where as his wife is straight opposite to his character which is visible whenever she meets Arya you will know once you watch it in theatre. Dialogue delivery of Amala is better than Sameera may be the experience of Mynaa takes in account.



Amala Paul who is in for a full role after Mynaa has done her part well, she makes a good pair to watch with Arya and lip sync for the songs have matched well and looks clean.
Yuvan had done the Music and has given heavy BGM’s for the Villains and the heroes.
Editing done by Antony happy that he has understood the script and edited as per the director’s thought.

Cast:-
§ Arya as Gurumurthy

§ R. Madhavan as Thirumurthy

§ Sameera Reddy as Vasanthi

§ Amala Paul as Jayanthi

§ Ashutosh Rana as Annachi

§ Thambi Ramaiah (Constable)

§ Muthukumar as Mari


Vettai also concentrates on its title which comes after 5 minutes shows the masala and mass that is put in by the director. At the outset Lingusamy is known for Entertainment and mass movie with a romance at a corner which is all present in Vettai. If you wish to pass your time watching a sound fight and peppy number and a light comedy watch Vettai.



My rating will be 2.5/5

The negative part is make-up could have been made lighter for the heroines since Sameera is expected to be how she was in Vaarnam Aayiram at least when they are at home and Nasser could have been used better but Nasser takes the screen and audience away in the 3 scenes he comes, shows why Kamal Hassan has quoted “I am Nasser and Nasser is Kamal“.

Final Verdict:- Light but weight Vettai.
