Iraivan

Film Review: Iraivan streaming on Netflix

Boasting of an impressive starcast with Jairam Ravi & Nayantara as the lead pair, Iraivan is a Tamil psychological thriller film where a psychopath called Brahma ( Rahul Bose) tortures & brutally murders young women and taunts the police with letters having a smiley 🙂. The police lose a few good men before the killer is caught but the killings start once again, making the police wonder whether they have caught the right man OR Is there another copycat killer on the loose !! It is up to ex- inspector Arjun to piece together all the clues and end the psychopath's reign of terror

The movie starts off very well , especially the first half is very gripping. However the second half seems stretched with lots of blaring errors in the screenplay which shouldn't have been there! How can an ex-cop get all privileges on par with cops working on the case , but without accountability? Poor cops working on the case are royally sidelined and seem low on morale with Arjun taking over and firing away with impunity!!

On the positive side, Jairam Ravi as ex- inspector Arjun has an impressive screen presence and shines in his role as a man obsessed with bringing the killer to book.

Nayantara, does decently in her small role as Arjun's love interest.

Not a total washout but cudve been better!!

Going with 2.5/5 for this one .. Adios🙂!!

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!!!

This movie has missed the opportunity to be blockbuster because it lacks the story. Even no characters are there with you can make attachment everyone is just liking doing there role without any emotional build up. You don't know the reason why the villian is doing so they have no story of past of present it comes and go just like tv ads.

Some scenes are brutal which can help the movie if it linked with an emotion and story.

Only one thing is good about this movie is acting of Nayantara ana Jayam ravi.

Bgm is worst👎.

Some engaging scene are available.

Just watch movie for one time. Never watch it with high exception like Ratsasan and Imaikka Nodingal.

'"Iraivan" directed by I Ahmed, explores the idea about the animal character of humans. There is no space about SPOILER because we can understand the plot and full script in the very starting of the film.

I think the genre of the film is about thriller, but according to me there is no room for thrilling experience in this film. Infact I had watched this film because of his old movies such as "Adangamaru". I had been watching Jayam ravi's movies because of his script selecting, but in this case I don't know why I am disappointed.

According to me this film is below average. But in the case of Jayam ravi and Nayan thara they had done their role very well. Still waiting for their new combo.

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.
