Playing the role of a troubled but determined cop, who finds himself caught in a web of rumors, lies, and deceit, but refuses to relent until he uncovers the truth, Suryah has fans and critics lauding/praising his performance.

Writer, director, and creator Andrew Louis have brought out a performance from him in Vadhandhi, that will be ranked as one of his best. Although the crime-noir thriller is eight episodes long, fans binged on it overnight to be amongst the first to watch the series, and share their reactions on social media.

Check out their reaction :

A fan took to social media and wrote “#Vadhandhi @andrewxvasanth
never disappoints in terms of quality cinema, he is the next big thing in Indian cinema. @iam_SJSuryah  never fails to surprise me, and always set the bar high. I hope one day, there will be a chapter bout SJ Suryah acting in a school book.”

Another wrote “#Vadhandhi -One thing you need to prepare before watching! It is more like reading a murder-mystery novel. It will take time to settle with the premise (Ep 1), the protagonist entering the picture (Ep2), and multiple characters getting interwoven (Ep 3,4) and then raciness pops up.”

A fan wrote “#Vadhandhi A cope with heart. Performance by @iam_SJSuryah
U will def get emotionally connected. I dunno for how many scenes tears dropped w/o my knowledge. In every scene, u can see his excellent performance. A well-executed series by Dir @andrewxvasanth  thank u for giving him (1/2)”

Receiving high praise for his impactful, intense, and immensely riveting acting prowess, Suryah has been overwhelmed by the love and affection showered on him by his fans.

Check out what people from the industry have to say about the series:

Haricharan Pudipeddi wrote “Loved @PushkarGayatri’s #Vadhandhi, a small-town thriller that’s riveting and layered. Beautifully explores the milieu it is set in and a terrific @iam_SJSuryah  and equally good #Laila make this an excellent watch. Good show, #AndrewLouis ”

Rajasekar says “Proved * liked how @iam_SJSuryah  improved himself as a strong performer. Very subtle yet emoted like a cop who hails from the rooted Kanyakumari belt! Easily one of his best performances #Vadhanthi”

A leading media house says “#VadhandhiTheFableOfVelonie Review: #SJSuryah excels in Pushkar-Gayatri’s #Vadhandhi, a whodunit Tamil series that could have been quicker and tighter #VadhandhiReview”
