There are few film makers in India, who never fail to deliver the best content movies and Vetri Maaran definitely tops the list. Viduthalai has all the elements that are expected from director Vetri Maaran. Movie starts off with a good note, slowly introducing the main character and his struggle for his role in the department.
All the characters in the movie are so real that audience from Tamilnadu will definitely connect to any of these characters from the movie. Movie has many metaphors that has some underlying meaning. Realistic making and in-depth characters will make us watch the movie till the end, even though there are few dull moments in the movie.

It is refreshing to see him in such character that has less scope for comedy, but has more scope for performance.
