Siren

I saw movie in hindi version... movie is average nothing new to offer.. movie started with prisoner in jail for more than 10 year suddenly get parole and movie goes in action drama...no depth in other characters..main actor has delivered decent performance but other has not much scope.. story line is very predictable.. action scenes are good... emotional angle between father and daughter has decent impact on movie....you have seen so many revange movie on this plot.. either you can see movie for light entertainment or for actor's..you can easily skip this movie...there is little comedy and no vulgar scene..

Once again Jayam Ravi acting is very good in what has to be for me, one of his best Tamil films right after Thani Oruvan. He brings his character to life in a film that has a very good story with a good balance of action and comedy.

Jayam Ravi plays a character who is known as Thilakan Varman who is is in jail for something that he did or not and comes out on parole after 14 years, having a chance to see his family and his daughter after so many years.

The story focus on Jayam Ravi and Keerthy Suresh who plays a police female officer Nandhini who has a bad image from something that she may have done or not in her past.

Just when Thilakan Varman comes out of jail and has another chance of life, murders are happening making police offer Nandhini to believe that it's Thilakan who is behind them all.

We also throughout the film learn from the flashback what happened to Thilakan Varman and how he ended up in jail.

Very good songs and very good story with a good balance of action and emotional scenes with good acting by Jayam Ravi.

Basically, the roles of but with a better storyline but still there is a correlation with the main part,, of course with 2 artists not mentioned above as irreplaceable actors,, I personally like Kirty Shuresh's acting..., Keerthy Suresh, liven up the storyline of this 2024 Siren film. The plot twist is not bad. Even though he succeeded in getting his revenge, the actor was still sentenced to prison for who knows how long. I hope there will still be a part 2 for this film. But with a better storyline but still there is a correlation with the main part,, of course with 2 artists not mentioned above as irreplaceable actors,, I personally like Kirty Shuresh's acting... , greetings from Indonesia - jaff XRP.

Anthony Bhagyaraj's "Siren" stars Jayam Ravi as a murder-convict visiting his family on Parole, during when a string of murders begin to happen. Suspicion falls on him and we start to learn more about his past, and his connection to the murders.

It's a pretty decent premise honestly, as it has the bones with which you could craft a compelling movie, but the way it has been handled here is just terrible. The screenplay and the direction all come across extremely amateur and without any focus. The movie is structurally a mess, where the first half has hints of the hero's past; through which we can already piece together most of what might have happened. And when the flashback does eventually roll around (extremely late into the movie too), it feels pointless and adds nothing that we didn't already figure out, and we're left sitting around waiting for it to end. Same goes for the various sub-plots introduced; that with Keerthi Suresh and the character of Ravi's daughter. None of them lead anywhere and to the extent it tries, it feels incredibly rushed. The final 45 minutes of the movie are pure idiocy. Some of the worst irrational decisions ever made on screen, right there in front of you. It's as if the movie ran out of ideas and just went with the first thing they could think of.

But it's not like the movie is without its positives, as it is quite entertaining thanks to the premise, and the tension and suspense is handled rather well. The movie definitely had potential, but unfortunately the best it wanted to settle with was sub-par writing and mindless directing.

"Siren 108," directed by Antony Bhagyaraj, is a Tamil action thriller that centers on Thilagan, an honest ambulance driver in Kanchipuram, who is wrongfully convicted of murdering his wife, Jennifer, and his friend Kathir. After spending 14 years in prison, Thilagan is granted parole for 14 days, during which he seeks revenge against Anbazhagan and DSP S. Nagalingam for the deaths of Jennifer and Kathir, and attempts to reconcile with his daughter, Malar, who harbors resentment towards him for his alleged crimes.

Jayam Ravi delivers a compelling performance as Thilagavarman, showcasing both his veteran acting skills and emotional depth, which effectively garners viewer support for his character. Keerthy Suresh's portrayal of Inspector K. Nandhini, while competent, occasionally veers into overacting, and her character lacks the depth and backstory needed to fully engage the audience. Yogi Babu provides comic relief as Velankanni, although his role feels somewhat underutilized in the overall narrative.

The film's pacing is a bit slow at the start, with the true motives and backstory unfolding more prominently in the second half. However, once the action kicks in, the stylized sequences, sound effects, and musical score enhance the viewing experience.

Samuthirakani delivers a solid performance as DSP S. Nagalingam, although his character feels somewhat familiar due to similarities with his previous roles. Ajay as Anbazhagan serves as a convincing antagonist, adding tension and conflict to the story.

Yuvina Parthavi impresses in her limited role as Malar, Thilagan's daughter, bringing depth and emotion to the character. However, the film could have benefited from further exploration of her character's arc and involvement in the plot.

Overall, "Siren 108" succeeds as a weekend masala movie, offering gripping action and entertainment for audiences. While it has its flaws, particularly in character development and pacing, it remains an enjoyable watch for fans of the genre.
