Review:
"Vetrivel" has opened to fairly positive reviews from the audience. The movie has good but predictable story to hold the attention of the viewers. It will be thoroughly enjoyed by mass and family audience. The role is tailor-made for Sasikumar and he does his job with ease. Miya George is good, while Nikila and Varsha have played their parts well. Rest other characters have done justice to their roles.
Technically, the cinematography and editing are flawless, while Thaman's background score is top notch. Find the viewers' response to the Tamil movie below:

#Vetrivel - Sasi Kumar yet again does the usual script which he does to satisfy B & C family audience. Hence, scenes becomes predictable.

Raisa Nasreen posted: Seems familiar yet interesting first half. #Vetrivel
#Vetrivel: Looks like director Vasantha Mani's decade long struggle is paying off. This is a solid debut.
#Vetrivel: works and builds on a familiar template yet so good because of the tight narration. Textured stuff.
Sriram Karanam posted: @Nikhilaofficial totall loved your character and screen presence. Nice expressions in the second half song #Vetrivel
I felt like this movie can be easily remade in to Telugu also. Tollywood accept this nice story line... #SomeOne #Vetrivel

#VetrivelReview Sasikumar plays to his strengths and churns out another rural entertainer that has shades of Naadodigal and Subramaniapuram.
