Filmmaker TJ Gnanavel's latest Tamil movie Vettaiyan takes a thought-provoking stance on the issue of encounter killings in India's law enforcement system. Starring superstar Rajinikanth as a trigger-happy cop, the film raises questions on the glorification of police officers in action movies and the use of violence for justice. Despite a compelling central concept and commentary on societal issues, the film's focus on elevating Rajinikanth's superstar status takes away from its impact and coherence.
