Aranmanai 3 (2021)

Aranmanai 3 - different storyline unlike Aranmanai 1 and 2. Formula is same but plot is different

[8/10 · 31 October 2021]

Unlike Aranmanai 1 and Aranmanai 2 where 1 girl gets killed because of zamindars either hero's parents or the girl's parents, this movie has a Zamindar who does a thing that Dhanush does to Soniya Agarwal in Pudupettai movie. Who dies and why she is killed and why the ghost wants to avenge it's death and how Sundar C as a saviour, saves the family members who are innocent but not the wrong doers. Same formula but 1 thing is different. Please watch the movie in theatres and have some visual treats. In all the films, Sundar C is the saviour who is supposed to bring the ghost to the place where the ghost can be destroyed forever. Definitely Sundar C had to bring some worked out concepts from Chandramukhi locking a room but here locking a room in temple rather than haunted palace; Raja or Zamindar who forcefully marries a woman because of her beauty but in Pudupettai style; Revival of dead person concept from English movies like the Bride. These are the scenes that makes the movie different from other 2 franchises. Rest of the story follows the same formula from other 2 movies. Climax visuals are definitely watch worthy in theatres. Sound effects by C. Sathya during climax is superb. Last 30 min of the movie has good comedy, good visual effects, twists. Please watch the movie in theatres. It is true that the movie does not manage to scare us even once and it is true that comedy scenes do not make us roll on the floor and laugh. Comedy scenes make our face smile a little and it stops there. Usually Sundar C movies dialogues are witty enough to make us rolling on the floor and laugh. But this is not a big problem. Sundar c knows that his movie does not require a hero who needs to focus only in his movie as his role is not meatier. So he ropes in Arya who was acting in Sarbatta parambarai. So he comes here and there during first 30 min, then exactly at the interval and then exactly at the end. So his screen presence is merely 30 minutes max. I don't consider this as well as weakness of the movie as the story, screenplay, how the movie moves from Start to end makes the movie watch worthy. So it's okay to say that so called hero of the movie has nothing much to do. The story mostly revolves around the Heroine of the movie where a ghost is trying to kill her all the time and another ghost tries to save her. It is clarified after the flash back that the ghost did not try to kill but to do something other and also the ghost never tried to save her. I don't want to be spoiler here. Vivek, Myna Nandhini, Mano Bala, Nalini and Yogi Babu are all good casts but dialogues given to them are not witty enough but passes with average score at most of the places. There are pluses and minuses. Ignoring minuses, please watch the movie in theatre with your family.
