The film Aranmanai is a Tamil-language horror drama, directed by Sundar C, who also plays the lead role.
The narrative unfolds within the confines of a palace, once the abode of a sizeable family. In pursuit of financial gain, the family has returned to the palace after a considerable interval. Upon their return, they become aware of an otherworldly force that permeates the premises. Ravi, the film's protagonist, seeks to ascertain the source of this supernatural power, a quest that ultimately uncovers a trove of hitherto concealed truths.
It is this author's opinion that the film is not recommended for viewing. It is, in fact, a complete waste of time. While there are some elements of the story that are engaging, the manner in which the story is told is unconventional and the visual settings are peculiar. Furthermore, the songs are poorly executed and there is a lack of logical coherence in the film. Some characters are merely used as a means of displaying the actress' bodies.
Furthermore, the director attempted to integrate comedic elements with the involvement of actors such as Manobala and Kovai Sarala, which ultimately proved ineffective.
