BIG fan of popcorn @ the cinema
fav actor: rajinikanth / cillian
fav director: mani ratnam / christopher nolan
maybe if i had watched this at another instance, i might have enjoyed it better because it has all the elements of a feel good movie. thank u c prem kumar for doing what you do for the indian tamil cinema
i get the political commentary and i wanted to like this so so badly but i couldn't because of the violence. soori's performance was epic and ofc vetri maran's work is amazing but I've been so done with the violence in the film industry that i couldn't sit through the end.
dhanush as the actor and director are a treat but not so much as the writer. the writing was reminiscent of different writers, almost as if dhanush is grappling to find his voice. having said this, 1st half was solid, absolutely loved the soundtrack, overall pacing was enjoyable, actors did well, the cinematography was decent.
in the slew of violence and gore heavy tamil action thrillers, rayaan is unfortunately a forgettable film.
