Sreedhar Pillai @sri50
Well known columnist and entertainment industry tracker Sreedhar Pillai, posted on his Twitter page, "#Aranmanai2 , horror comedy multi- starrer releasing today 355 screens in TN. Terrific advance booking, big screens.
The palatial house they live in is apparently haunted and the evil spirit succeeds in scaring everyone residing in it. This, until Sundar C arrives to throw a light on who the evil spirit really is.
We are then taken back in time to know more about the ghost in its human form. The rest of the story revolves around finding who the ghost is and the means to drive it away from the troubled family.
Performances:
While Trisha's glamorous side takes over the actress in her, Hansika on the other side is brilliant to watch. Perhaps, performing in a horror flick comes naturally to her?
Siddharth is wasted in the movie. The actor's choice of film is poor and pretty much evident in Aranmanai 2. Poonam Bajwa, with her subtle expressions manages to impress, though her character is clichéd.
While Sundar C's role looks shoved, the bright spot in the performance department comes from the movie's face savers, played by Kovai Sarala, Manobala and to an extent Soori, for comedy sequence (specially in the second half) is the only thing Sundar C seems to have got right in this flick.
Technicalities:
Aranmanai 2 is technically poor. Barring the second half, which is a touch pacier, everything else looks below par in the technical department.
Be it the outdated visual effects (VFX) or the formulaic flashback portion, everything about Aranmanai 2 looks bygone and tiring.
Apart from a few songs, 'Hip Hop Tamizha' Aadhi's music comes across as a shocker. His background score though elevates certain scenes, despite being a touch too loud at places.
Cinematography by UK Senthil Kumar is probably the weakest link amongst everything. Yes, he has managed to capture the natural beauty of a village, but has he managed to spook you with his angles? Perhaps no.
Overall View:
Aranmanai 2 may work largely because of its second half and comical portions, but isn't it high time our directors avoid lacklustre movies in the name of horror-comedy?
