Vada Chennai movie review: what critics say (6)
What critics say Critics are mostly positive with reservations: 5 of 6 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 1 gave it 2 or less.
Vada Chennai is possibly the most ambitious Tamil film till date, if you consider the generous expanse of its canvas.
Read the full reviewA dingy bar is lit with bulbs that flicker every now and then. Guna (Samuthirakani) and Senthil (Kishore) are tired. They have committed a gruesome murder, but Vetri Maaran doesn't really show how they executed it.
Read the full reviewOverall, Vada Chennai is the closest you can get to unforgiving underworld filled with insecurity, revenge, destiny, rage and insatiable urge for bloodshed.
Read the full reviewThe reference to Shakespeare’s Hamlet is initially in the passing. Anbu’s confusion over who is right and who isn’t, coupled with his relationship with Rajan, and how that plays out in the end is plain and simple.
Read the full reviewIt isn’t hard to see why Vetri Maaran’s Vada Chennai needs at least two sequels. Even after a leisurely 166 minutes, the Polladhavan (2007) and Visaaranai (2015) director only seems to be warming up into telling his story.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
