Aaranya Kaandam Uncut Movie Has Its

The themes (Duality and stuff) shown in this film are similar to TRK Rajas most famous work Super Deluxe.

SPOILER ALERT: If you havent watched Aaranya Kaandam please do watch it before you read this.

Before starting my review, I want to congratulate and thank the director Thiagarajan Kumararaja for bagging a national award for best debut director with great confidence thus by making a daring attempt.

The name Aaranya Kaandam, English Title: Jungle Chapter, originally denotes a chapter in Ramayanam.

That particular chapter tells us about the Raavans plot on captivating Sita.

Just like Valis epic, Ramayana carrying lots of details and references in a.

A very intense from start to end and the suspense is top-notch.

Well acted by all the actors, specially Sampath Raj that Jackie Shroffs laugh.

Again like most masterpieces of Indian Cinema this film bombed at BO, no surprise here.okee, shameless insert - I wrote a long ass piece on Super Deluxe (2019 ) (his second film, yes that lazy fuck took 8 years for a film) for its first year anniversary so check it out if u r too bored lol.

No wonder it became a flop at BO and became a cult film afterwards.

It reminded me of City Of God and Pulp Fiction in many aspects like many others.

Aaranya Kaandam Uncut Movie Has Its

The movie has its moments especially in the first half.Not a bad movie by any standards.The kid actually reminded me of Lil Ze from City of God desi style.Mind you i saw 128 minute cut,so not sure what i missed out.Could have soared more.Rewatch pending.

There is some good instances of cinematography and its well edited but the blood cgi was garbage.

There is some good ideas here but the pacing wasnt great and it didnt hold my attention.

This is the only Tamil movie to have won the prestigious Grand Jury Award at the South Asian International Film Festival.

It also won the Western Union Audience Award at this years London Indian Film Festival.

The film also garnered two National Awards in India, for which, believe me there is serious competition.

And the most striking feature is, this is the first film of the director, Thiagarajan Kumararaja.

Those who see this post kindly take this as a recommendation and watch the movie.

The ending wasnt as strong as the rest of the film but still really good.

Jackie Shroff, Sampath Raj, the kid and the always amazing Guru Somasundaram were top notch.

Ravi Krishna and Yasmin didnt really hold up to the high standards set by the others though.
