The Selvaraghavan directorial ‘Naane Varuvean’ starring actor Dhanush in the lead has hit the theaters on September 29. The film has been much anticipated as it is competing with Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, which is scheduled to release worldwide on September 30.
Naane Varuvean
On the day of its debut, Naane Varuvean starring Dhanush, started getting favorable reviews from the viewers. Once more, Yuvan Shankar Raja, Selvaraghavan and Dhanush’s collaboration has resulted in a great music. On the other side, Selvaraghavan’s direction and Dhanush’s strong performance in the paranormal thriller have impressed the critics. The Selvaraghavan-Dhanush pairing has so far appeared three times and has always been a big hit. The cinematography by Ravi Varman has been a strong point in the movie, despite the fact that Selvaraghavan’s revenge thriller is on the conventional course.
Indhuja Ravichandran, the female protagonist, has a small role, but the character is well-delivered. Swedish actress Ellie Avram has left a good impression in her Tamil debut. It appears that the characters are what helped the audience better understand the screenplay. The children’s roles in the movie are a treat. Moreover, at the end, the director hinted at a sequel.
