Iraivan

Yes, that is exactly what the director of this movie is thinking, "Clickbait". Utterly and astonishingly boring, idiotic and stupid would be an understatement.

A story about a cop who loses almost everything to his pursuit and further cat and mouse game with a serial killer. A supposedly fearless protagonist (who contradicts the character by being in a perpetual state of stress and terror) does not give a hoot about anyone.

Then very briefly we have a psychologist who theorises that a killer who kills in multitudes just for fun cannot be categorised as a serial killer but a psychopath (go figure!). He isn't a one to shy away from using sarcasm in every sentence while treating the serial killer as a patient.

The acting is cringe. Oozes incompetence at another level altogether. The romantic angle is even cringier, if thats possible.

Give this a miss even if you are offered to get paid for watching it.

The biggest question that bugs me is who and how one opens a fully renovated, successfully running coffee business merely days after conceptualising the idea and amidst the death of a near and dear one less than a fortnight ago!!!

'"Iraivan" directed by I Ahmed, explores the idea about the animal character of humans. There is no space about SPOILER because we can understand the plot and full script in the very starting of the film.

I think the genre of the film is about thriller, but according to me there is no room for thrilling experience in this film. Infact I had watched this film because of his old movies such as "Adangamaru". I had been watching Jayam ravi's movies because of his script selecting, but in this case I don't know why I am disappointed.

According to me this film is below average. But in the case of Jayam ravi and Nayan thara they had done their role very well. Still waiting for their new combo.

Horrible movie. Looking at the trailer my family decided to watch in the theatre. But thank God we decided to wait for maran review. I watched it today and the best decision we made by not watching this horrible movie in theatre. Good we didn't spend money. This movie. Is not worth to watch in ott too lol. Very predictable. This movie should have been made maximum in one and half an hour. Unnecessarily two hours and thirty minutes made for absolutely no reason. Last fourth five minutes absolutely worthless. It was not even a one time watch movie. Please don't waste your time watching this worthless.

Disappointed. There's no doubt that Jayam Ravi is a versatile actor. However, this movie seems like a lazy piece of work. They just wanted to make a movie with Jayam and Nayanthara as they have a huge fanbase considering commercial success in their mind. I watched this movie with little expectation, but it failed to meet even that. In the villain role, Rahul Bose did well. Rahul Bose can be a new face in villain character, but I think he should choose his role wisely because he is well respected in critical roles. The camera work is also good. The BGM and the twist are average. We have already watched this kinda twist in many films. I simply do not expect this kind of average movie from Jayam Ravi.

Film Review: Iraivan streaming on Netflix

Boasting of an impressive starcast with Jairam Ravi & Nayantara as the lead pair, Iraivan is a Tamil psychological thriller film where a psychopath called Brahma ( Rahul Bose) tortures & brutally murders young women and taunts the police with letters having a smiley 🙂. The police lose a few good men before the killer is caught but the killings start once again, making the police wonder whether they have caught the right man OR Is there another copycat killer on the loose !! It is up to ex- inspector Arjun to piece together all the clues and end the psychopath's reign of terror

The movie starts off very well , especially the first half is very gripping. However the second half seems stretched with lots of blaring errors in the screenplay which shouldn't have been there! How can an ex-cop get all privileges on par with cops working on the case , but without accountability? Poor cops working on the case are royally sidelined and seem low on morale with Arjun taking over and firing away with impunity!!

On the positive side, Jairam Ravi as ex- inspector Arjun has an impressive screen presence and shines in his role as a man obsessed with bringing the killer to book.

Nayantara, does decently in her small role as Arjun's love interest.

Not a total washout but cudve been better!!

Going with 2.5/5 for this one .. Adios🙂!!
