Iraivan

Yes, that is exactly what the director of this movie is thinking, "Clickbait". Utterly and astonishingly boring, idiotic and stupid would be an understatement.

A story about a cop who loses almost everything to his pursuit and further cat and mouse game with a serial killer. A supposedly fearless protagonist (who contradicts the character by being in a perpetual state of stress and terror) does not give a hoot about anyone.

Then very briefly we have a psychologist who theorises that a killer who kills in multitudes just for fun cannot be categorised as a serial killer but a psychopath (go figure!). He isn't a one to shy away from using sarcasm in every sentence while treating the serial killer as a patient.

The acting is cringe. Oozes incompetence at another level altogether. The romantic angle is even cringier, if thats possible.

Give this a miss even if you are offered to get paid for watching it.

The biggest question that bugs me is who and how one opens a fully renovated, successfully running coffee business merely days after conceptualising the idea and amidst the death of a near and dear one less than a fortnight ago!!!

Disappointed. There's no doubt that Jayam Ravi is a versatile actor. However, this movie seems like a lazy piece of work. They just wanted to make a movie with Jayam and Nayanthara as they have a huge fanbase considering commercial success in their mind. I watched this movie with little expectation, but it failed to meet even that. In the villain role, Rahul Bose did well. Rahul Bose can be a new face in villain character, but I think he should choose his role wisely because he is well respected in critical roles. The camera work is also good. The BGM and the twist are average. We have already watched this kinda twist in many films. I simply do not expect this kind of average movie from Jayam Ravi.

This movie was completely taken to make some quick money based on recent craze with film fans for crime thrillers. And making the villain act menacing thinking they will get Oscar award - But in this case I don't think it worked out well. I guess it was a complete wrong move by the director and producer. Really disappointed with the story line completely predictable in all the placed, The so called twist did not hit hard to the audience and no homework done on how cops operate. Completely filmed based on Directors imaginary la la land. The only plus in the movie is the acting of senior actors like Jayam Ravi and Nayanthara.

"Iraivan," directed by I Ahmed, explores the idea that humans can be very dangerous. It's a film about serial killers, a topic that many people find fascinating. However, the film sometimes feels like it's trying to follow a trend rather than offering a unique perspective on the subject. There are many intriguing aspects to explore about storytelling in this genre, but the movie falls short in this regard.

The story revolves around two men, Bramma and Arjun. Bramma is a psychopath who believes killing humans is like killing mosquitoes, while Arjun is a fearless cop who delivers justice to criminals. The narrative focuses on someone who admires these men in disturbing ways.

Unfortunately, the film doesn't do justice to these interesting ideas. It feels like the director didn't venture beyond the initial concept. The only memorable scene is when a grieving father decides to join his deceased daughter after seeing a horrifying video of her murder. Jayam Ravi's tired portrayal of Arjun is a departure from his usual sharp roles.

The film emphasizes style with flashy visuals, but it lacks emotional depth. It relies too heavily on shock and gore. Female characters are poorly written and often reduced to victim roles, lacking depth and complexity. Priya, Arjun's love interest, comes across as insensitive, and her character seems forced.

The movie's lack of emotional consistency extends to the investigation. The senior cop often seems clueless about his team's discoveries, needing last-minute exposition to catch up. He scolds his officers only to backtrack when they reveal crucial findings. The climax follows a tired formula, with the cops arriving too late for the action. In a ludicrous flashback, Bramma's bizarre "mosquitoes equal humans" idea transfers to Babu after a single conversation. Many moments blur the line between genuine psychopathy and absurd parody.

Babu, an eccentric character, is portrayed effectively by Vinoth Kishan, but the script offers little depth beyond an intriguing concept. Even a suspenseful moment hints that Arjun is right about Babu, removing any chance for surprise. It's clear the hero can never be wrong, maintaining a basic level throughout most of the film.

The most complexity arises from Babu's need for validation from his self-declared mentor, Bramma, and his desire to see fear in Arjun's eyes. The film misses an opportunity to delve deeper into Babu's ego. There's potential for a more serious exploration beneath the surface.

If you are expecting a good crime thriller movie this is nowhere near that. Ultimate horrible movie. Don't chose this movie by watching trailer The movie is ultimately waste of time. Worst crime movie ever.

Failed to make emotional connection between audience and super lag and felt to run away from theater. All the scenes are super predictable.. Horrible acting as well.. Such a crap movie.. Even watching this movie in OTT also I won't suggest this movie.

Waste of money .. Not a recommended movie for a family or even for adults. It makes scary and wrong guidance for people..Intend people to do such wrong things.
