Aranmanai 3 movie review: The dumbest film of the year yet
There’s nothing new in regards to the extensively startled eyes of characters who’ve come nostril to nostril with a scary-looking ghost or watched paranormal methods performed by a vengeful spirit. We now have seen all of it, time and again. If not within the Aranmanai franchise, then within the Kanchana sequence or lots of of different horror motion pictures from all over the world. For years, we have now been subjected to all types of soar scares. If one continues to react to overused scare techniques, it doesn’t imply the director has managed to succeed. It’s simply in human nature to shudder when one thing ugly or scary pops up in entrance of us. Any 10-year-old with a ghost masks can do it. Then, what’s the purpose of a director with over 30 years of expertise to lay our a fortune on a film to realize the identical impact?
There’s nothing novel about Aranmanai 3. On the coronary heart of the story is a big palace with a darkish historical past. And someplace within the nook of this palace, there’s a locked room. Many haunting secrets and techniques stay buried so long as the room is locked. However, as soon as it’s open, it unleashes a darkish drive, which is sort of inconceivable to include. Does the synopsis sound acquainted? It’s as a result of Sundar C, who has written, directed and acted on this movie, attracts closely from Chandramukhi, which was the remake of Malayalam hit Manichitrathazhu. As a substitute of “Raa Raa” track, which is a lady’s craving to fulfill her lover, we get “Sengaandhale”, a mom’s lullaby, rising from a room, which has now change into a den of supernatural forces.
The one distinction is Sundar C’s Ravi, who in contrast to Rajinikanth’s Dr Saravanan, has no discernable skills to cope with forces past his ken. He can’t learn minds like Saravanan. He doesn’t appear to have the intelligence and aptitude to outsmart ghosts. However, for all his shortcomings, he’s the one saviour we get on this movie. Arya’s Saravanan, in the meantime, is simply used as eye sweet. Aside from flexing his biceps time and again, Arya doesn’t get to do a lot on this movie. The identical destiny is meted out to different actors. Not one actor among the many solid of Raashi Khanna, Vivek, Yogi Babu, Andrea Jeremiah and Sampath Raj has a significant position to play in what might be safely termed because the dumbest movie of the 12 months but.
In a scene, Raashi Khanna’s Jyothi escapes an assassination try by a ghost. Normally, an individual who has simply been attacked by a darkish drive will likely be in a state of shock. However, she goes again to mattress for a very good evening’s sleep as if nothing has occurred. The subsequent time she reveals any concern for the darkish entity is in relation to hang-out her once more. All characters keep up all evening taking part in disguise and search in full make-up and heavy jewelry, however not one particular person might be discovered when the ghost is chasing a small child. And these complaints don’t even make 10 p.c of the movie’s entire downside.
It’s laborious to consider that Aranmanai 3 comes from the thoughts of a director who made Anbe Sivam. “I confronted extra disadvantages than benefits after doing Anbe Sivam. I did that movie with all my coronary heart. However, due to that movie, I needed to sit at residence (with out work) for nearly a 12 months. When folks see me now, they ask me why I’m not doing a movie like that any longer. And once I hear that, it makes me offended, not comfortable. I really feel like asking them the place they have been once they have been wanted. Now folks watch the movie on DVD and the web and admire it. However, if they’d supported this movie when it was launched, I might have had the motivation to do extra movies like that,” Sundar C had stated on a tv present earlier.
We get the movies we deserve. Once we fail to understand Anbe Sivam, Aranmanai 3 is what we get.
