Aruvi (2016) :
Brief Review -
Aruvi is sensational and emotional classic on sensitive topic. One of the most mind-shattering build up for any woman centric film recently. Let's make this clear at the beginning that Aruvi isn't artistic or high cinematic experience so do not expect it to be one after seeing the high rating. It has loopes in the storyline that many smart movie buffs may not like (even i don't support it) but it has some sensational methods to drive an atypical topic which has been used many times before and it's highly sensitive. One more thing, DO NOT read any Synopsis or anything about the storyline please and believe me you'll be blown by the thrilling aspects in midway. A gentle girl born and brought up amidst the ever growing eco-social-consumeristic environment finds it difficult to fit in the society. She decides to take it hard on the people. What she does is the rest of the story. By the intermission point it leaves you stunned and then gives a social lecture which hits the emotional chords in the second half and especially in last 20 minutes. The visuals can be disturbing for weak hearted audience but what to do, it's the reality and we have to accept it. Overall, it's a great narrative despite couple of big loopholes but those can be overlooked for the sake of rest of show which is simply brilliant. It also lacks cinematic intelligence of director yet makes a beautiful mainstream film overall. Aditi Balan is terrific in the lead tole. Her expressions, dedication, transformation everything is extremely convincing. Watch out for her dialogue delivery in that monologue when she tears apart society's traditions and definition of happiness, that's one of the Major highlights of the film. In a nutshell, Aruvi is one of the most important woman centric drama which has everything to provide you a rich content. I wanted to talk so much about its writing but had to maintain silence to condemn spoilers.
RATING - 8/10*
