ARANMANAI 4 – REVIEW
Cast: Sundar C, Tamannaah, Raashii Khanna, Ramachandra Raju, Yogi Babu, VTV Ganesh, Kovai Sarala
Director: Sundar C
Alright, let‘s dive into Aranmanai 4, the latest installment in Sundar C‘s horror-comedy franchise. This time around, we‘re dealing with a shape-shifting spirit inspired by Assamese Baak folklore, causing havoc for Selvi (Tamannaah) and her family. It‘s up to her brother, Saravanan (Sundar C), to crack the case and put an end to the spooky shenanigans.
This film isn’t gonna blow anyone away with its originality, but who cares, right? It‘s all about delivering a crowd-pleasing experience, and Sundar C knows exactly how to do that. The movie has this glossy, almost fantasy-like look to it, with a good mix of warm and cool colors and impressive special effects. Throw in some catchy tunes, a fast-paced plot, and a few kid-friendly moments, and you‘ve got a recipe for family entertainment. There’s also the comic trio of Yogi Babu, VTV Ganesh, and Kovai Sarala – they‘re like the familiar faces at a party, though their jokes get a bit stale at times.
Look, there’s no point boring you with the details of the story. Let‘s just say it involves a spooky mansion in the middle of nowhere, a bunch of folks trying to figure out what‘s going on, and a whole lot of supernatural antics. There are a few attempts at scares, but they‘re more silly than spooky. The real highlight is the climax – it‘s like a comic book showdown between good and evil, with giant deity structures and an epic battle between Saravanan and the spirit. They even insert a grand dance number just for good measure. Basically, the filmmakers are throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks, and you know what? It kind of works.
Overall, Aranmanai 4 is a decent comeback for Sundar C. The comedy misses the mark more often than it hits (that Yogi Babu-Delhi Ganesh kissing scene? Yuck!), but the overall package is entertaining enough, especially if you want something absorbing that doesn’t take itself too seriously. And let‘s not forget Tamannaah – she totally steals the show with her stunning looks and intense performance. She‘s the glue that holds this whole crazy thing together.
Aranmanai 4 is like a giant, cheesy pizza – not exactly gourmet, but it‘s still damn satisfying.
