Amid
speculations
about
its
postponement,
Aranya
finally
released
in
theatres
on
March
26,
Friday
along
with
its
Tamil
counterpart
Kaadan.
Though
the
film
was
also
scheduled
to
release
in
Hindi
as
Haathi
Mere
Saathi
on
the
same
date,
the
makers
had
to
postpone
the
plan
owing
to
surge
in
COVID-19
cases
in
other
states.
Aranya
boasts
of
an
ensemble
cast
including
Rana
Daggubati,
Vishnu
Vishal,
Zoya
Hussain
and
Shriya
Pilgaonkar.
Rana,
who
plays
a
conservationist
in
the
film
has
impressed
the
audience
with
his
never-seen-before
avatar
and
extraordinary
acting
chops.
Talking
about
business,
the
film
has
reportedly
collected
Rs
1.80
crore
with
its
Day
1
theatrical
run
in
India.
Let
us
tell
you
that
the
film
has
released
along
with
Nithiin-Keerthy
Suresh's
Rang
De,
which
has
already
collected
an
impressive
Rs
5.10
crore
on
Day
1.
Well,
as
Aranya
competes
with
Rang
De
and
another
already
successfully
running
film
Jathi
Ratnalu
(released
on
March
11),
we
will
have
to
wait
and
watch
to
see
how
the
film
performs
at
the
theatres
in
the
days
to
come.
Though
Aranya
was
a
highly
commendable
effort,
especially
because
of
its
theme-
'Save
The
Elephants',
the
lazy
writing
and
weak
climax
derailed
the
film
to
an
extent.
Rana
Daggubati-starrer
also
failed
at
a
point
where
sub-plots
clashed
with
the
main
story.
Talking
about
the
crew
of
the
film,
directed
by
Prabhu
Solomon,
Aranya
has
music
composed
by
Shantanu
Moitra
and
camera
cranked
by
AR
Ashok
Kumar.
Backed
by
Eros
International,
the
film
has
editing
carried
out
by
Buvan.
