Vettaiyan has received a mixed response from audiences.
While some found the first half of the movie gripping and praised Gnanavel's direction and storytelling, others felt it was slow-paced with too many dialogue-heavy scenes.
A user said, "All of a sudden, Thalaivar steals the show and evokes the entire theater to erupt with his style, dialogue, and intelligence."
