All the characters are etched well.
The cinematography of S R Kathir is one of the highlights of the movie.
The comedy works for the film.
Though the first half is predictable, it is engrossing.
D Imman’s music is quite melodious.

What’s not there?

As the movie proceed things get predictable.
The movie brings to our memories several movies like Nadodigal, Sundara Pandiyan, and Thevar Magan.
The movie is dragging.

Verdict

Vetrivel is an outright family entertainer that can be watched once.
