About the launch of Prime Video

Vettaiyan will be available for streaming on Prime Video in Tamil with Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi dubs in India and 240 countries and territories worldwide starting November 8.

Vettaiyan follows the riveting journey of SP Athiyan (Rajinikanth), a maverick police officer renowned for his uncompromising approach to police investigations and justice. Following a botched operation that results in the tragic loss of an innocent life, Athiyan is forced to face the repercussions of his ruthless methods. As Athiyan navigates a tangled web of criminal activity and internal conflict, he faces a profound moral dilemma, redefining his beliefs about justice and redemption.

Earlier, trade analyst Ramesh Bala told Hindustan Times that the film will release around November 7. “Vettaiyan was released in theaters on October 10 and usually 99% Tamil movies are released on OTT after four weeks of theatrical release. Also, Vettaiyan was not released in Hindi in multiplexes, which means that the eight-week period does not apply to this film. In this scenario, Vettaiyan is likely to release on November 7 on Amazon Prime Video, which has bought the OTT rights. However, since the film is still in theaters, the official news about the OTT release will be shared just a day or two before the release date,” he said.

About Vettaiyan

Vettaiyan marks Lyca Productions’ thirtieth venture and serves as Amitabh Bachchan’s debut in Tamil cinema. Anirudh Ravichander is the music composer for the film.

HT’s review of the film said, “Unfortunately, director Gnanavel is unable to balance Rajinikanth’s star power with his social discourse on these themes and this is what hurts the film. Using Rajinikanth to highlight these social issues is commendable, but it is also important to write a story that is also engaging and engaging for the audience. The first half of the film is well written, but the second half becomes quite predictable and is a disappointment.”
