Raayan Movie Review : A Bloodbath Started off Compellingly, AR Rahman Is Main Asset Of Film
The first half of the new Dhanush film, Raayan Movie Review, written and directed by, Dhanush himself is throughly absorbing. There is a deliberate effort to walk
away from the conventional treatment of a mass hero film where the leading man’s only mission is protecting his family. There is only one instance in the entire fist half where we see Raayan Movie Review unleashing himself on the bad guys. But post the interval when the writing tries to infuse a drama withing the family dynamics, there is a sense of genericness to the writing and even though there are unexpected reactions from certain characters, what is made us anticipate at the midpoint waas not quite there when the movie ended.
Raayan Movie Review, our title character has two younger brothers and a younger sister. At a really young age, when his sister was an infant, Raayan parents went missing and since that day, Raayan has been protecting his siblings and raising them from his own earnings. While Muthu, his second brother was a drunkard with no major focus in life, the other two Manickam and Dunga, where fairly ambitious. At one point, when the newly appointed police commissioner was planning to end the gand war by creating issues among the gangsters, Muthu unnecessarily got involved in it and Raayan Movie Review had to intervene to save his brother. How that intervention creates problems for the whole family and what happens after that is what we seen in Dhanush 50th film, Raayan.
After setting up the story with that flashback of Raayan and his sibling, there is a very gentle world building happeing in the film. Raayan Movie Review is always the calm and composed figure in the family and he wants his brothers to maintain a low profile. And we can see Raayan meeting big names in the city to apologize for the mess his brother created. Dhanush maintains Raayan as someone who will cross the line only for the family and in that brilliantly choreographed pre interval fight, we can see that transition and stand of Raayan Movie Review. Post interval, There is an ideological rift happening in the family. Even though we were shown instance of indifference between the brothers, them leading to a split in the family Because of the lack of conviction in establishing that rift, everything that followed, which had a template nature, had a reduced energy to its credit.
Raayan Movie Review – A Bloodbath That Started off Compellingly and Ended Generically
Dhanush as Raayan plays the part very convincingly with a believable restrain in his body language. The demeanor, the lack of a smile on his face adn the unflinching nature in the way Raayan talks, etc., make that character rough, empathetic and believable. Sudeep Kishan, as Muthu, plays this loud character who always has an excuse for his deeds. Almost all the
characters Kalidas has played in his career have a sense of naivety attached to them and when you look at the character pool, Manickam is the most naive one. Thankfully, Dhanush hasn’t cast Dushara Vijayan for an unimportant role. In the second half, she gets prominent screen space, and the opinion of her character matters to the story. Aparna Balamurali gets this
over the top lover character, But the character is some what ignored in the second half SJ Suryah is in his typical eccentric elements in this movie. In instances like the very fist meeting between Raayan and Sethu, that style really enhances the commercial appeal. Prakashraj has done a character, which is more of a cameo in this film.
Compared to his previous directorial, Pa Paandi, there is a significant shift in how Dhanush converts script to screen. Om Prakash cinematography usess warm tones, silhouettes, reds greens and blue tones to communicate the drama in the story. Visual elements had a significant role in making the fights and killings in his movie look appealing on screen. And there is a conscious effort,
especially in the first half to reduce the redundancy. A tweak will be there in certain scripting tropes we are familiar with. As I already said, it is the lack of conviction in establishing that rift among brothers that is causign issues for Raayan when it reaches the last quarter of its runtime.
On the whole, Raayan Movie Review is a movie that has its share of dramatic moments and subtle mass euphoric moments. If the central conflictwas mounted in a more impactful way, I think the movie would have had a bigger impact on the audience. The visual storytelling that used colors and played with shadows to give a metaphorical layer to the story deserved a script with a gripping finale.
