Raayan

Just watched "Raayan", marks Dhanush's second directorial venture, where he excels in both execution and performance. The meticulously choreographed action sequences offer a visual treat, AR Rahman's music elevates the tension in this modern action-thriller.

However, the writing department seemed to have large room for improvement, particularly in the conflicts between brothers, which feel lackluster, the villain arc, especially for a performer like SJ Surya, seemed underdeveloped, diminishing the overall impact the story could have delivered, making the film a one-time watch for its impressive performances and technical brilliance.

Good attempts but failed to touch.

Honestly it was getting in to the life but then slipped again.

No matter what, its always a pleasant experience to watch Dhanush's acting.

The side role guys were good enough but I think the story lacked what required to be a punch in the stomach it was kinda like a facepalm. But I didn't find anything that will make me want to whistle at any scene for the movie. But again there were no place where I felt bored too much to sleep. It was kinda same but it made me feel a bit different. Different enough to watch it thoroughly.

Its about struggle of an elder sibling to be a family man and support and love his family but fate had a different plan and they got stumbled in a clash between 2 rival gangster group. The movie is all about how a brother attempt to save his sister.

Had huge expectations from this one, didn't expect this one to drop on streaming after a mere 3 weeks of its release. Predetermined or a early release because it didn't do well in the theaters...?

Age old plot with 'twists' and overall writing that weren't convincing enough. The cops and villains were not convincing enough. That said, the good performances by everyone; decent cinematography and amazing sound design. AR Rahman's music was felt...worthy of that nametag after a long time. Hope Dhanush directs more.

The movie wasn't good but I dunno if its bad as people are making it out to be. Watchable....but I don't think you'll miss much if you skip it. Do listen to the songs though.

While in this year (2024) no quality films were released.

Tamil cinema had seen numerous gangster making movies or like normal person to being a gangster.

+ve : A. R. Rahaman Music, Dhanush performance, screenplay, -ve: Dhanush doesn't where is needs to go in the second half, SJ suryah is not a right person

Like the Audience are hungry searching for Briyani,Fried Rice, Full non-veg meals finally settled for chapathi..

We have seen many movies like this Bhagavathi, Thirupathichi, Thotti jaya of charters revolving around the families. Same as that on a different angle.

One time watchable.. It would be good experience on theaters not on OTT.

Second half could've been better but Dhanush still managed to give a decent entertainer. The rivalry between SJ Surya and Dhanush felt weak, Dhanush could've definitely added some depth to the storyline between the both of them.

Good thing that they didn't get a pair for Dhanush like any other typical Tamil movie.

First half was very good, every characters had a role and everyone acted well. AR Rahman's songs and BGM was brilliant.

Interval scene was very well made kudos to Dhanush and team. Adangatha Asuran song was a visual treat.

Congratulations to Dhanush and team.

Overall a good action entertainer, great choice for a 50th movie. Hope Dhanush continues his directional career.

7/10: A must watch for Dhanush fans.
