Plot
Ariyanchi
(Aishwarya
Rajesh)
is
married
to
Ranasigam
(Vijay
Sethupathi),
who
works
in
Dubai,
and
the
couple
has
a
little
daughter.
On
the
day
of
their
daughter's
ear
piercing
ceremony,
the
death
news
of
Ranasingam
reaches
the
family.
To
bring
back
his
mortal
remains
to
their
native,
Ariyanchi
needs
to
prove
that
she
is
his
legally
wedded
wife.
But
she
has
no
legal
documents
to
prove
their
marriage,
despite
getting
married
in
the
presence
of
their
families.
Ariyanchi
begins
her
mission
to
bring
her
husband's
mortal
remains
and
learns
the
actual
reason
behind
Ranasingam's
death.
How
she
succeeds
in
her
fight
with
the
government,
forms
the
crux
of
the
story.
Script
&
Direction
P
Virumandi,
the
director
has
succeeded
in
presenting
a
deeply
moving
social
drama
that
touches
some
of
the
most
important
issues
faced
by
the
common
man.
The
battle
of
the
central
character
Ariyanchi
is
narrated
with
complete
sincerity,
which
makes
the
audiences
instantly
root
for
her.
But
the
excessive
screen
time
and
overdose
of
melodrama
make
Ka
Pae
Ranasingam
a
tiring
watch,
after
a
first
few
minutes
into
the
story.
The
narrative
tries
to
overemphasize
the
goodness
of
Vijay
Sethupathi's
character
with
repetitive
scenes,
and
that
is
one
of
the
biggest
flaws
of
the
movie.
Even
though
it
has
a
highly
promising
theme
and
stellar
star
cast,
what
lets
down
Ka
Pae
Ranasingam
is
the
over-stretched
narrative.
It
prevents
the
movie
from
becoming
a
fulfilling
experience.
Performances
Vijay
Sethupathi
has
played
the
titular
character
Ranasingam
perfectly,
even
though
he
has
less
screen
time.
The
character
is
a
total
cakewalk
for
the
actor,
who
has
appeared
in
similar
roles
in
the
past.
Aishwarya
Rajesh
delivers
one
of
the
finest
performances
of
her
career
in
the
role
of
Ariyanchi.
The
actress
has
done
a
brilliant
job
in
portraying
the
various
shades
of
her
character,
with
absolute
conviction.
The
rest
of
the
star
cast,
including
newcomer
Bhavani
Sre,
Arunraja
Kamaraj,
Munishkanth,
and
so
on,
have
played
their
parts
to
near
perfection.
Technical
Aspects
NK
Ekhambaram,
the
director
of
photography
has
done
an
amazing
job
with
the
visuals
of
the
movie.
Lalgudi
N
Ilayaraja,
the
art
director
deserves
applause
for
the
amazing
set
design.
T
Shivanandeesan's
editing
is
not
up
to
the
mark,
as
repetitive
scenes
and
duration
are
the
biggest
flaws
of
the
movie.
Ghibran,
the
music
director
has
made
a
mark
with
the
haunting
background
score.
But
the
songs,
on
the
other
hand,
are
forgettable.
Pros
Strong
theme
Performances
by
the
star
cast
Background

Cons
Over-stretched
narrative
Repetitive
scenes
Verdict
Ka
Pae
Ranasingam
is
a
deeply
moving
social
drama,
which
discusses
some
important
social
issues.
However,
this
Vijay
Sethupathi
and
Aishwarya
Rajesh-starrer
is
over-stretched,
which
makes
it
a
tiring
watch.
