Without a doubt, Viduthalai is an additional jewel in the master's crown. The opening train accident scene sets the tone for the entire movie. The conflict is introduced right away, and Vetri Sir's distinctive narration ushers the audience into the action. The best example of utilising the chance to the fullest is Soori, who gave everything he had learned from his prior acting experience. Soori is the ideal cast because the inherent innocence he possesses is used to spectacular perfection. If someone else were cast, they would have to establish the innocence, but Soori has it from the very first frame. The third act contains a disturbing scene that is impossible to imagine anyone else playing the role with this brilliance.
Viduthalai is a timeless experience rather than a motion picture. This keeps the movie's suspenseful atmosphere.
I've seen a lot of movies, so why does Viduthalai stand out from the rest?
Because every movie has a point of view that represents one side that is right and one that is wrong, but this one is impartial and discusses both the good and the bad.
The second noteworthy aspect is that despite the fact that the entire first half has several sorrowful scenes, you can tell that Kumaresean and Tamarasi's connection was only built in the first half, and that is why we can all just believe Kumaresean as he advances to the climax. So, it depicts reality as opposed to other action movies with less rationality.
The unvarnished account of brutal police-police violence against innocent native people who support a rebel guarding the area from encroachment is found in Viduthalai. The actor Soori gave his best-ever performance, excelling for the first time as a hero, and Bhavani Sre played her role to perfection. As usual, Vetrimaran provides a visceral and passionate performance that evokes the audience's emotions and grips them throughout the entire movie. The first long shot sequence and Velraj's masterful visuals were both very striking. According to VijaySethupathy, his character is a wonderful match for the Vaathiyaar. Ilayaraja performed admirably, and Udaya Kumar did a fantastic job of mixing the music in Dolby Atmos here to really make the audience feel like they were travelling.
Part 1 of Viduthalai The action elements in the climactic scenes are expertly performed, and they seamlessly lead into Part 2. A satisfying conclusion is provided by the small glimpses of Part 2, leaving viewers anxious to learn the facts and politics underlying the disputes. Vetri Maaran's portrayal is impartial and presents both sides of the argument despite the fact that there are incidents of police abuse. The cast was expertly chosen, with Vijay Sethupathi giving a threatening portrayal as Vaathiyaar despite having little screen time, and Soori effortlessly slipping into his part.
With a running time of two and a half hours, Viduthalai Part 1 retains a steady tempo and engages viewers with high-tension scenes. It maintains Vetri Maaran's aesthetic and artistic integrity, piqueing spectators' interest in the sequel.
Once more, Vetrimaran performed admirably (as usual). From the first 10 minutes, the movie sets the proper mood and maintains your interest the entire time. Soori is another pleasant surprise; he delivered a solid performance. He carried out the director's request and did what was necessary for his character. Each frame he comes with bears witness to his diligence and hard labour. Bhavani, the second main character, gave it her all as well. Even though the VJS segment was extremely small, he still gave it his all.
The best thing about this film is that the director never made a judgement on which actions were right and which actions were wrong. The director has just presented all sides' positives and negatives, and everyone is engaging in this cat and mouse game for an unknown reason.
