Vaa Vaathiyaar follows DSP Rameshwaran, also known as Ramu, a police officer raised by his grandfather to follow the ideals and principles of the late M.G. Ramachandran (MGR). A staunch follower of MGR, his grandfather believes Ramu to be the spiritual successor of the legendary actor and constantly urges him to stand for justice.
Although Rameshwaran initially attempts to uphold these values, he eventually becomes another cog in a corrupt system, aligning himself with powerful and shady individuals.
As his life progresses, Ramu inadvertently develops an alter ego named Vaathiyar, who embodies MGR’s ideals and fights against injustice. How this vigilante dismantles criminal networks and whether Ramu ultimately embraces the values his grandfather taught him is the main narrative of the film.
These are some of the latest Tamil and Telugu films releasing on OTT platforms this week. Several other titles in different languages are also available for streaming.
