Find out.

Viduthalai Part 2 X reviews out: Hit or flop?

Viduthalai Part 1 acquired cult status among fans for its subject matter and storytelling. Part 2 takes off from where the first installment left off; however, Vijay Sethupathi's character is shown in a different light. Netizens shared that Vetrimaaran's filmmaking has political leanings, and he delivers where it matters the most. Dubbed as a "political satire" by many, the director seems to be in his element with overt political references, mixing class divide with powerplay.

"Viduthalai part 2 with the banger screenplay, political satire movie, positive reviews for Vetri - VJS - Soori combo (sic)," wrote a social media user. Another shared, "Movie is starting with banger. First 40 Mins is really interesting. VJS is having more scope compare to Soori. Dialogues are so sharp. Vetrimaaran on his best (sic)." Thaman's score in the movie has also been landed and is being called one of the strongest points of the film. Among its weakest points, is the film's lengthy runtime, which reportedly the director trimmed before its release on December 20.

Epic runtime for Viduthalai Part 2 reduced

The sequel was reportedly 4.5 hours long and was cut short to 2.52 hours for a theatrical release. Media reports have suggested that  Vetrimaaran is planning to make a third part in the series, focussing on Vijay Sethupathi's character.
