Another excellent addition to Tamil Cinema this year after Pariyerum Perumal, Ratsasan and 96. And, we get an epic Vada Chennai from Vetri Maran after his terrific Visaranai.
Everyone was hearing about this Vada Chennai from Vetri Maran for quite some time, years actually. Dhanush, Simbu, Vijay Sethupathi, Jeeva and finally with Dhanush as an actor and a producer as well. I thought this film would never see the light of day just like Marudhanayagam, but I am glad it did. And, even more, glad that they didn't go for a U or U/A certificate and went with A certificate to make this movie as raw as possible with a lot of swear words not getting muted.
If we see the story in just Anbu's pov, he was just a good carrom player and wants to become a national level player, but destiny had other ideas and he gets linked to too many things unknowingly which changes his life completely.
Vetri Maran, once again he proves himself as one of the best screenwriters in recent time. Each and every character were so detailed. Even this first part itself could have been made into two different films since I was ready to know more about Kishore, Samuthurakani, Pawan, and Andrea.

The best thing about Vada Chennai are the characters. Each and everyone was unique and you don't get bored seeing anyone on screen. Right from Kishore, Pawan, Samuthrakani, Daniel Balaji, Aishwarya Rajesh, Andrea, Ameer, and Dhanush, everyone fits perfectly for their roles and their performances were so natural. I really wish to see Kishore in more movies.
Dhanush has shown enough varieties during each phase as a carrom player, then in the jail and towards the end as a gangster. And, Aishwarya Rajesh and Andrea were terrific too. After the poetic much-loved heroine entry of Jaanu in 96, here comes an absolute shocking intro for a heroine, Aishwarya Rajesh because of her very first dialogue.
The whole jail set was just terrific and looked very original. And, each and every area gives the much-needed authenticity to the story and everyone belongs to the story so we never feel anything was artificial.
Once again I say this year belongs to SaNa in terms of music. After, Kaala, Pariyerum Perumal he's back with a bang here as well. It was a fitting 25th movie for this composer. Those two themes which were already part of the audio release were terrific and elevates the scenes perfectly. Especially it fits very well for the Rajan character (Ameer), whose portions were the highlight of this first part. As Vetri Maran said in one interview, I will be glad to see a prequel for this about the Rajan character alone.
So, coming back to Vetri Maran, he turns a revenge and a gangster saga into an epic with his terrific characters. Though I guessed what could be the basic plot, Vetri Maran had enough surprises and twists which unveils whatever I have guessed. And, also the pace the story was unveiled was good as well. The story is nicely set up where the one line of the second part could be close to Kaala, but here the trouble is not external. So, waiting to see more about Anbu, Chandra (Andrea), etc and their plans.
Vada Chennai, lives up to the expectation and hype it created since I've been hearing about this movie for ten years. And, it was totally worth the wait and it was just an intro to Anbu and looking forward to the next parts.
