Naane Varuvean

Story is very simple and watchable mainly for the menacing persona of Dhanush's kathir character. First half travels as a supernatural touches slowly alters as a psycho thriller in the backstory ( 2nd half). Special mention to the psycho path role of dhanush offers a threathening feel to the audiences. Female leads are seen in less scope which is a small loophole in the film, also yogibabu and prabhu had weightage. This naane varuvean is a sure treat for thriller genre fans and also for the psycho horror thriller fans. The eerie scenes in the 1st half is so intense and doesn't follow the routine creepy touches. This film is mostly inspired from hollywood flicks like insidiuos and conjuring, Overall - this outing a definitely a decent movie with good thrills and emotions!

Decent story...expected more from Selva and dhanush combo. Started off as horror then moves onto thriller. Dhanush as usual acting was superb. Story was very thin. Both dhanush as in why they are the way they are was not explained leading to some weak screenplay. Music was absolutely garbage yuvan has lost it. Can watch one time. The kids acting was great. Overall would say it can be watched once. Disappointing as expecting much more with selva dhanush yuvan combo. Lead actress did decent with what ever limited role she had. Yogi babu comedy was a relief in the very serious movie. 6/10 average.

The First half of this movie was great especially "Kathir's" Glimpse few minutes before the Intermission and the second half was overall great Because of "Kathir's" Flashback, the way it was shown was beautiful to me and The "Veera Soora" scene will literal goosebumps, He killed each and every moment of it, Prabhu may have been bland but As Kathir he shines......Everything in this movie is great Dhanush's Acting, Yuvan's Music, Selva's Directing, Om Prakash's Cinematography everything was on spot, Except for the climax, I mean It's better but could've been a little bit better, The movie would have been interesting without comedic side and without Prabhu (Dhanush) character.... An overall good film You Can Watch Twice But Not Thrice!.

They had me in the first half . Core plot is nothing but similar to Muni franchise story , they tried to give different treatment to it . First half was intresting , the way they build story and tension was impressive , it was really confusing at first whether it's paranormal or psychological thriller . Interval block was total Bang . Second half was totally contrast to the first half , a complete let down and climax was terrible to the core . I expected more from "Kathir" character . Dhanush once again gave a terrific performance . Yuvan's background score was mind blowing . Cinematography was good . Overall watch at your own risk .

Pros: -It has a unique storyline (however let down by major plot issues; it would have been better as a psychological thriller rather than a supernatural one)

-Great performances by Dhanush

• Great BGM

-First half was done really well

Cons:

• Selvaraghavan has failed to execute a compelling plot as it felt like a wasted opportunity ( certain scenes could have been taken differently)

• Dialogue is too simplistic and does not serve any other purpose than moving the plot further

-Could have avoided a supernatural storyline as it turned a really good story into one which has multiple cliché s

Overall, this is a decent thriller with some flaws that pull it down from becoming really good. 6.5/10.
