However Vai Raja Vai belongs to Vivek who makes the first half enjoyable with his smart one-liners and comedy with Satish adding more fun. Dhanush who makes a last minute entry in the climax as Kokki Kumar (Pudhupettai) draws whistles. Yuvan’s songs especially the melodious Pachchai Vanna.. is soothing.
On the downside, the film runs out of steam in the second half and the rushed climax looks unconvincing. The minor hiccups notwithstanding, Vai Raja Vai is a satisfying watch.
