The movie starts with an emergency situation. I did not even know when the movie got my attention. I felt like I was standing along with the characters and listening to the story for the entire movie. It’s like I got hypnotised by the director throughout the movie. I personally felt detached from the songs and that was the only time i felt away from the movie. This is not the way I feel for every movies. Instead of finding mistakes, I started to engage with the movie.
In some places I listened to the BGM and enjoyed it but the songs did not work for me. I don’t know what else to say. I don’t know speak about the camera, cinematography, if I have speak about acting I did not even realise actors are acting in the movie. I got carried away and missed to notice the details of stunts. There is a place where Soori jumps from a building to another building, it was a slow motion scene felt artificial to a minor part of me but the major part of me felt like he should jump that building though it is artificial. We are getting to know about the essence of the Viduthalai world via Soori who is an enthusiastic, innocent, honest, self disciplined cop who is a son of a single mother. He is also the one who joins the police by knowing only about the optimistic and bright side of department. He struggles a lot with his selflessness and that is a factor that moves the story to the next place. If we see it as the journey of a protagonist, the police officers discourage him by giving punishments for his selflessness and vaathiyar (Vijay Sethupathi) encourages him by not killing him — because he noticed his selflessness by noticing Soori that he is aware that being in the police department is selflessness. In this movie Soori gets many chances or choices to become a mediocre cop. He keeps on refusing it no matter the cost because of his selflessness.
