Excellent but underrated film
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
The movie was good. The movie was so interesting. Eveyone acted very well in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie are so good. Santhanam comedy in the movie was also so good.
This movie copies several scenes of famous movies like insidious & women in black etc.so i consider this movie as a bad.A copy of famous English horror movies.most of the scary scenes are from other movies, especially from The Women in Black.I Strongly recommend people to watch Insidious & Women in Black, to see the copied scenes.Although the movie is not at all scary.i have rated this movie a 3/10 (BECAUSE OF COPING OTHERS WORKS.)
ARANMANAI is horror comedy movie Director Sundar C comes with horror movie about a palace that is up for sale , due to that happening some murders.Raai Lakshmi's glamorous and cute look, Andrea's was good performance.Hansika's comes as main role and appearance was new too.Vinay a s a namesake hero in it.Sundar C comes as Andrea's bro - Just for making a heroism.Bharathwaj music very bad.Santhanam,- LoL - But nothing new on it.Kovai Sarala, Swaminathan, Mano Bala - Comes for fun's.Flashback story for Hansika' - Normal one - Nothing new on it.Story is quite predictable / Too draggy Verdict: Old story in a new tread - But fail to impress Mix of Muni and chandramukhi movie .
I'm a HUGE fan of the haunted house sub-genre of Horror films. As a horror fan, once you are able to predict the outcome of the movie, it loses all of its potential for scares and thrills. Thats exactly what happens with Sundar.C.'s ARANMANAI. The actors all gave their roles the best, especially Andrea and Hansika, whose performances will not be forgotten in a hurry. Like having an impressive table setting with sparkling cutlery and glassware and then going on to serve bland food, all the efforts of the actors go in vain, let down by a weak (and tired) storyline and even weaker dialogue. The lines in the intense/emotional scenes lack power and the comedy ranges from average to crude and is at times down right VULGAR (which makes the U/A rating highly questionable). Just the dialogue and references alone make it a movie for adults only.As the story is Heroine centric, the guys have minimal roles. The leads Hansika as Selvi and Andrea as Madhavi stand out and give solid performances. Sundar.C. handles his role well as Madhavi's brother. Santhanam's comedy is, as always, funny and dependable for a few laughs but the rib-tickling,Lol humour he is known for is missing here. The side track story of Kovai Sarala and Manobala makes for boring (and at times irritating) attempt at comedy and does nothing more than take away from the momentum of the story-telling. Rai Lakshmi is present almost purely to add glamour to the proceedings and she fulfils that role quite well.The villains aren't evil enough. The ghosts aren't scary enough(neither is the score). The Make-up, the sets, the costumes, the special effects, all fall short to make what could have been an edge-of-the-seat thriller/horror into a long-drawn effort by the viewer to stay interested.Summing up, this movie will work if you are among friends or family (sans kids) and you have a long afternoon with nothing to do. If, like me, your movie viewing time is precious, then give this one a miss.
