Airaa Story

Airaa (aka) Aira is a Tamil suspense drama movie direction by Sarjun.  The movie has the lady superstar Nayanthara in the dual roles. The movie is being produced by Kotapadi J Rajesh under the film banner 'KJR Films'. Sundaramurthy composes music for this movie. Sarjun is well known for his previous work in 'Lakshmi' (Short Film). Detailed Story The movie takes off with a couple of cops heading towards a lavish bungalow in Pollachi, which is shown as a haunted entity. Cut to the scene and we navigate to Chennai where the supposed protagonist, Yamuna (Nayanthara) is shown. She is caught in between a misogynist NRI who is set as an alliance by her parents and a typical boss who is focused more on professional terms than on personal/emotional concerns. Yamuna finally decides to take a break and stay put in her grandmother's palatial house in Pollachi, which is the haunted bungalow. The house is inundated with a visually-impaired grandmother, a caretaker called Mani (Yogi Babu), lots of DTS effects such as melodramatic rocking chairs and squeaky doors, which is typically seen in any horror movie. Despite many alarms in the house assuring the existence of some spirit, Yamuna is undeterred and takes it as a joke. Parallel to the story, the movie introduces Amudhavan (Kalaiyarasan), who is shown to have lost his beloved soul, Bhavani (Nayanthara again) in a certain road tragedy. He realizes that there are quite a number of unfortunate and distinct deaths happening around him and he feels that these deaths could be connected to that of Bhavani's. At a certain point, both Amudhavan and Yamuna's stories get connected in the movie and how they intersect forms the rest of the plot.

Airaa Critics Review

Filmibeat.com
There are no comments or disputes about the performance of the biggest lady star of the current generation as she has pulled out both Bhavani and Yamuna's character with elan. Kalaiyarasan is good and convincing in his role while Yogi Babu is at his usual best. Director KM Sarjun seems to have got a great concept on paper and his design too would have convinced him during the writing phase. Verdict: Airaa had the potential to be a gripping thriller but it fails to live up to expectations.
Behindwoods
The first half has two parallel story tracks, where incidents take place, but we are not shown the reasons, leaving us clueless. The camera movement and smooth editing also work in tandem to create that sense of confusion. Verdict: Performances and Strong Technicalities make Airaa a watchable horror thriller.
Times Of India
The characters around Yamuna are also dull. You only have to see the way Yogi Babu’s character is treated to understand this. Given how terrific the Nayanthara-Yogi Babu combination was in Kolamaavu Kokila, it is all the more tragic.
India Today
Airaa's strength lies in its second half, which showcases the story of Bhavani, who yearns for happiness in life. As grief-stricken Bhavani, Nayanthara is excellent and makes us empathise with her. Director Sarjun KM has dealt with a lot of social issues such as bullying, abuse, rape and many more in the second half. Airaa starring Nayanthara in two roles aims to be a thrilling horror flick laden with many hidden messages.
