I don't dislike this movie and at the same time I dont think it is a path breaking experience and questions society as I have seen in some reviews.Though it is high on emotions,the ratings,and the beginning 20 mins are highly misleading.Heck even the storyline present in imdb is misleading.The protagonist as said in that storyline does not take hard on people instead she is amicable and playful which is a huge let down for me because I was misled by its ratings and initial 20 minutes.I wanted her to be rebellious and question the perception of majority.The movie doesn't put forward a moral and critical question but instead gives a lament message which it does very well indeed.I don't know why people think otherwise and say that their perception is changed.If this movie came 10-15 years before I may have agreed with that statement.Because if you had a contradicting perception before I don't know how do you fit in 21st century.Is this movie a new attempt and is never tried before?Yes but isn't as courageous as I have expected.Now coming to the positives the emotional thread of protagonist is well executed and the actress who did it is amazing.I don't want to spoil too much but the life of lead character is shown very well with little diversions here and there.There are some flaws in other characters but it is acceptable if you overlook it.These are my opinions about the movie.Avoid falling for its high ratings and reviews and enjoy the emotional drama and exceptional performance of the lead character.

This is one of the best films of 2017 with an almost watertight screenplay that keeps you completely engrossed from start to finish with some mesmerizing central performances from the characters and the sidekicks but the main attraction of this movie has to be Aditi Balan. This actress manages to pull you in the story. She brings an intensity to the screen that only a few actors and actresses are able to do. You will love her and care for her. Through her you will experience a morality play showing how evil does not necessarily manifest itself in an orgy of destruction caused by war, that its roots may lie concealed in the malicious pranks of everyday life. I had no idea what to expect when I sat down to watch this, and I was pleasantly surprised by a film that confounded all of my expectations.

Aditi Balan, the lead actress at the center of ARUVI has lived the character and her ability to portray both utter intelligence and unknowable vacancy, as she does here, shows an uncommon deal of range. Her character in ARUVI has dropped out of society and every hint that we get is greeted with a contradiction. It then unfolds, flashbacks sandwiched between the main story. This way the movie never lets go of the suspense, while on the same time, it unravels new things for the viewer. Well there are abundant world movies on psycho-cultural mirrors, harassment, male domination and abuse that are far better than Aruvi, but come on, we don't see films like this releasing often in Indian cinema. I'm hyped for Arun Karthick's The Strange Case Of Shiva. Also, I can't deny the fact that the Godhi Banna Sadharana Mykattu's ending with 'Katheyondu Shuruvaagide' song runs through towards the climax of the Aruvi. Do not go to this movie expecting right to win and evil to perish, it won't happen, but along the way you will be asked to question every assumption. But believe me it's not easy being a woman in India and on the other hand this not a feminist movie as few of my friends had stated so. This is uncompromising, unashamed and a smash in your face, post-modernism, philosophical drama in short and on the side note the war between the rat race sexes and hedonist will rage on regardless.

Aruvi (2016) : Brief Review -

Aruvi is sensational and emotional classic on sensitive topic. One of the most mind-shattering build up for any woman centric film recently. Let's make this clear at the beginning that Aruvi isn't artistic or high cinematic experience so do not expect it to be one after seeing the high rating. It has loopes in the storyline that many smart movie buffs may not like (even i don't support it) but it has some sensational methods to drive an atypical topic which has been used many times before and it's highly sensitive. One more thing, DO NOT read any Synopsis or anything about the storyline please and believe me you'll be blown by the thrilling aspects in midway. A gentle girl born and brought up amidst the ever growing eco-social-consumeristic environment finds it difficult to fit in the society. She decides to take it hard on the people. What she does is the rest of the story. By the intermission point it leaves you stunned and then gives a social lecture which hits the emotional chords in the second half and especially in last 20 minutes. The visuals can be disturbing for weak hearted audience but what to do, it's the reality and we have to accept it. Overall, it's a great narrative despite couple of big loopholes but those can be overlooked for the sake of rest of show which is simply brilliant. It also lacks cinematic intelligence of director yet makes a beautiful mainstream film overall. Aditi Balan is terrific in the lead tole. Her expressions, dedication, transformation everything is extremely convincing. Watch out for her dialogue delivery in that monologue when she tears apart society's traditions and definition of happiness, that's one of the Major highlights of the film. In a nutshell, Aruvi is one of the most important woman centric drama which has everything to provide you a rich content. I wanted to talk so much about its writing but had to maintain silence to condemn spoilers.

RATING - 8/10*

By - #samthebestest.

Some say if you can laugh/smile and cry at the same time, you might be mentally disturbed or challenged. I was one for 133 minutes movie. A story that made me glued to my seat without nail biting action or thrilling scene, a tremendous performance and body language from a new face actress that made me felt im living in her shoes, a fantastic storyline that you can hardly tell its from a debutant director, dark comedies that can make you laugh and provoke your thoughts during serious scenes. Music and BGM was just too good, it soothes when it need to sooth, it hurts when you made to cry for the performance. Even when alaipaayuthey introduced maddy as new face, I was not able to accept the chocolate boy then, yaareda ivan nu appo feel pannuchi. But inthe movie leh almost every faces are new but everyone made me feel as if all are seasoned actor and actresses. Big kudos to director @Arun Prabu Purushothaman and team and much love for Aditi Balan for the spectacular performance. Aruvi, IS THE NAME OF THE MOVIE I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

ARUVI A lifetime experience. A stirring poetry of comfort and conflict . Movie carefully but consistently travels between the montage and narrative movie patterns complimented by a strong non-linear screenplay. Movie heads to a climax of profound human connectedness but with a profound agony.

A Must watch.

Aruvi will leave a deep impact on its viewers. It may leave an impression, or nostalgia or a scar based on what kinda of a person you are. But this movie is not going to go way without making a mark in everyone's mind. Gift from a new kid in the block(Arun), to remind the world, TAMIL cinema is much ahead of "so called" progressive cinema in the spectrum of international film fraternity.

This is a movie that everyone must and should watch, I would say one of the best in the year 2017, and my comparison is not only with other Tamil movies. The director has literally shaken the stereotype of movies where plot lines are black and white, good beats evil, etc. The director has very skilfully, and at the same time very artfully portrayed a snapshot of life, with all the associated greys in between. It's hard to say if this movie is a comedy or a tragedy or a celebration, but then again, isn't life just the same?

Special mention to the cast, especially the lead actress Aditi Balan. Very rarely do we come across such talent in a debutant actress. I would say she has lived the role rather than simply performing it during the movie. Her subtle moves and gestures throughout the film have not gaudy element nor a bit of overacting. It is every bit as real as watching a real life event unfold in front of our eyes.

Don't miss this movie. The director has managed to convey a very important social message in an elegant and simple manner. I won't say what it is, lest it spoil the suspense of the movie for you.

One of the fine and painful movie.... Your perception towards life and humanity definitely changes to its good. "Must Watch"

This might be the greatest movie Kollywood has offered us this year. With riveting screenplay and an excellent performance from newcomer Aditi Balan, Aruvi will keep you at the edge of your seats with nail biting sequences and an emotional backstory. Pretty much every element in this movie works cohesively with the script, and I'm hard-pressed to even find a flaw that is worth mentioning.

Finally Tamil heroines are no longer props used for dance sequences but are the center point of a film that deals with real-life problems.. I don't want to spoil it for people haven't seen it yet, but this is a must watch for anybody who watches Tamil cinema.

Handling the stockholm syndrome scenario in such a believable manner, giving us a closed loop script - Arun Prabu Purushothaman and his gusty film-making.

Right from AditiBalan, everyone played their character to their core (not exaggerating)! Be it the studio assistant, cameraman, security guard - literally everyone was given their own importance and were portrayed extremely well.

With the backing of such a heavy script, Shelley Calist (cinematographer) focused more on intensity of the performance, to so-called cinemascopic shots.Bindhu Malini and Vedanth Bharadwaj (Music), had to play like Gautam when Viru is bashing up all over the park - The perfect partnership.

Aruvi - powerful stream that bashes up left and right. Be ready with your answers.. Ready for the test?

The BEST MOVIE I saw ever in my Lifetime!!!

If there is any better words than Awesome, Superb, Extrodinary, etc, then that is my Comment...

Its a mix of commercial plus documentary movie explaining the plight of AIDS patients. Kind of scary too to know that HIV can spread in unimaginable ways. Acting performance is super. First half is well paced and interesting than the second half. But this is not for pure commercial film fans

This film has one of the most misleading rating like some films in IMDb. Maybe the rating and review were falsely submitted as most of 10/10 review giver has 1 movie review only.

This film has no strong story, no exceptional acting, no exciting storyline and furthermore the script was million light years from reality.

It seemed liked as if the writer thought that the viewer has no idea nor they can use their common sense about how television program was shoot, prepared and executed.

The film wanted to portray a strong message about how women are treated in a developing society. But the logic less and unrealistic depiction of the events discredited the message it was supposed to spread.

For the lack of credibility and content the final verdict about the film is:

NOT RECOMMENDED.

A good story with, good screen play, with good cast and crew is very rare. Very emotional piece of work. Value of emotion in Tamil Cinema is gone or become comercial.

Aditi balan done lot more than a very experienced actores could do. All new faces, flawless acting, got yourself into the story (IMAX slogan, watch the movie or be part of it). This movie is a masterpiece in Tamil cinema. Definity the top ranker in 2017 and earlier.

Trust is the only point in life. Be patient and trust your loved ones.

Aditi acting is extaoridinary & she does more dedication in this film competing with vikram. good message with emotions, humour. Pls support this movie as much as possible since this kind of movies are rare in tamil cinema

Editing, background score, songs, direction, screenplay everything best

I know Its too late but better be late than never and I wanted to recommend this one for movie addicts. Aruvi is Bold - Intense - sensitive - dark - funny - rip roaring - reflection of today's eco social demand. Simple yet Powerful. The movie flows like a waterfall with lots of emotions packed in a 2 hr drama directed by Arun Prabhu Purushothaman. No wonder and no doubt it's earning praise all over and definitely one of the best Tamil movies of all time. An ode to un conventional film making with an exemplary performance from the debut lead actress Aditi Balan. She will make you feel loneliness, cry ,laugh, angry, at last goose bumps for sure. Don't miss this un conventional psychological social dark yet fun ride which encompasses ensemble cast full new faces who has delivered to perfection. Loved it enjoyed it. Rated as must watch.

What do you call a series of events that reflect childlike mirth, youthful abandon, comedy, drama, suspense thriller, loss, tragedy, love, terror, a dash of reality tv, a commentary on contemporary society, politics, purpose of life and death..? Sounds too close to real life.. does it ?Aruvi is a genre grinder which mixes all this and more into a narrative that is engaging and enthralling in equal measure.

Debutante Aditi Balan, who plays the titular protagonist, is a natural and shines bright in a layered role. Her superlative performance which sees her shouldering the entire movie and make it stick together is among the best this year and is sure to bring her many laurels.

Director Arun Prabhu Purushothaman has announced himself as a helmer to look forward to with this audacious debut feature. He brilliantly strings together diverse strands of his storyline to concoct a captivating symphony like a seasoned maestro. Check out the initial sequences of measured vignettes from Aruvi's unfolding childhood which subtly state a lot and surreptitiously smuggle us into the storyline and create an instant connect with her and make us care for her. Or the way, he can transition from a tense situation of a terror response into a playful mood of truth or dare that takes us on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Arun Prabhu Purushothaman is a welcome addition to the league of promising debutantes directors in Tamil cinema this year which included Sri Ganesh (8 Thottaakkal), Karthick Naren (Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru), Lokesh Kanagaraj (Maanagaram), Nithilan Swaminathan (Kurangu Bommai) and Gopi Nayinar (Aramm).

Aruvi is one of the rare film which leaves a lifetime impact.It makes you laugh, it makes you cry. Acting, direction, music, lyrics, background score every thing is perfect.It's a poetry in motion.

This Movie contains women oriented social Message where a small misunderstanding can lead to a bigger issue for which someone's life gets destroyed in a few moments. Fast paced,great acting by the lead actress but direction is not flawless which makes this movie somewhat boring type,screenplay wasn't good. Overally one time watchable.

This is one kind of a film which erased the existing lines and recreated another....

The movie is really overrated and lacks cinematographic excellence. I only loved the second half. The movie isnt that convincing.

Aruvi is a waterfall of human mixed-emotions pouring flawlessly out of screen.. It looks so beautiful outside when this characters makes you amuse and laugh effortlessly, and the next frame, it hits you deep as hard the water hits the rock at the bottom.. The sight of very passionate filmmaker(newcomer Arun Prabu) who not only titled his movie(Aruvi) perfectly but also narrated it flawlessly.. The casting almost entirely new faces, looks like just graduated from a film academy but very well played their role.. While the lovely-rebellious Aditi Balan(Aruvi) given a lifetime performance which lingers wild in your mind, her supporting cast the transgender character was a shoutout-heart winning performance! The story-to think, this terrific idea of this storyline, filmmaking concept coming out from Arun Prabu ingenious mind, is an amazing thing.. something that only director Bala could do at this mainstream tamil cinema level.. This guy has done it masterfully with all the right elements of a exemplary cinematic experience, loved his thoughtful non-cliche ending.! Just another best part of the movie is the music score, the work of newcomers Bindhumalini&Vedanth was fabulous, striking the right chords all the way! Aruvi is an silent scream from Tamil cinema to the world that they could produce such rare gems at times! To the director Arun Prabu, take a bow Sir, your fascinating-masterpiece is the best film of the year! #Aruvi

The movie which begins in the deep love of father and daughter is brought to us on another level, The situation is the heroine that destroys all the joy of her life ........

It's not just a movie, but beyond that, it's very heartening to understand your mind. ARUVI talks about the social pain of a girl.

It's not just a movie, but beyond that, it's very heartening to understand your mind. RuV talks about the social pain of a girl...., Aditi Balan, who acted in the role of the film, maintained his innocence by 201 per cent
