Vishnu Vishal’s film “Aryan”, released in Tamil last week with average reviews, hit Telugu screens today. It’s said to break the usual murder mystery style. Let’s see how it appeals to Telugu viewers!
Aaryan Story: Writer Atreya (Selvaraghavan) shocks everyone by shooting himself live on TV, claiming he’ll kill five people in five days and reveal their names before each murder. An honest cop, Nandi (Vishnu Vishal), takes up the case to uncover how a dead man can kill. Can he stop the murders? That’s the mystery of “Aaryan.”
Performances: This film once again proves that Selvaraghavan is a brilliant actor. Portraying seriousness with honesty is tough, yet he does it effortlessly and impresses throughout. Vishnu Vishal perfectly fits the cop role, delivering a sincere and decent performance.
Shraddha Srinath and Maanasa Choudhary shine with both beauty and strong acting. The supporting cast also performs well, making the film engaging and well-balanced overall.
Technical Aspects: Ghibran’s background score nicely enhances the film’s mood and emotions. Harish Kannan’s cinematography and the art team’s work are decent. Director Praveen tried to make a unique thriller breaking usual rules, which is commendable.
However, weak handling of the conflict point affected the result. He impressed as a writer but couldn’t fully succeed as a director.
Analysis: “Aaryan” is an attempt to break the usual pattern like “Veeradhi Veera Soora.” However, it falls short in execution and justification. Still, those who enjoy unique thrillers can give it a try.
Verdict: A bold attempt with a fresh idea, but weak execution stops it from reaching its full potential. Still, “Aaryan” can be a one-time watch for thriller lovers seeking something different.
Bottom Line: A different thriller with a strong concept.
Rating: 2/5
