It will continue with intense narration adapted from Jeyamohan’s short story “Thunaivan”.

A movie based on police constable, Kumaresan (Soori), and how he becomes a part of the operation of catching the revolutionary Perumal “Vaathiyaar” (Vijay Sethupathi). A political era when everything was turmoil, the film digs deeper into Vaathiyaar’s character, giving out his backbreaking past struggles that led him to take up arms against oppression. Manju Warrier shines bright as Mahalakshmi, Perumal’s wife, adding a depth of emotion to the film.

The film is excellent in the depiction of the moral dilemmas faced by Kumaresan in his life as he struggles between loyalty, rebellion and justice. It also portrays the oppressors and the oppressed in nuanced power dynamics that make the movie a very thought-provoking experience. The gritty realism brought to the socio-political landscape by Vetrimaaran will surely hold viewer’s attention throughout.

The heart of the film is the performance. It is a powerful act by Vijay Sethupathi as the revolutionary leader and Soori impresses us with his role and agony of a conflicted constable torn between duty and morality.

Viduthalai Part 2 is much more than a crime thriller. It is also a commentary on power, freedom and resistance. Fans of the first part will find this one satisfyingly good as it answers all the lingering questions and provides a fitting end to the story.
