India Today Digital’s review of the film stated, “Director TJ Gnanavel’s Vettaiyaan has its heart in the right place – it highlights one of the important subjects that is relevant in today’s world. As Big B says in the film, ‘An encounter is never a solution.’ It takes one grave wrong decision for Athiyan to realize this.
