However, not all reviews were glowing. A critical post lamented, "#Vettaiyan 1st half - below average. Poor acting from Rajini and illogical fight scenes." Others pointed to a lack of emotional depth and a faltering second half, with one review stating, "The film had some bright moments but ends up being half-baked."
