Asuran Movie review

No matter how many times  you are asked to control, Vengeance and Valour can't be easily controlled. Disturbed. People breaks out. This is what Asuran deals.

From the start, the movie doesn't ramble, directly dips into the story, which helps us to  not lose concentration which we might have as the story revolves around two time periods involving Sivasamy and Chithambaram. The part that deals Chithambaram comes in first half while the Sivasamy comes in the later. The merging point of the two characters are written brilliantly. It shows the effort of the writer. (Asuran is based on the Tamil novel Vekkai which is written by Poomani ).

Asuran is not only about the Vengeance - it shows how hard to be brought in a caste based society, especially when you are under casted. Scenes which shows the privilege of wearing the slippers gives a fresh feel of how people were discriminated even though they have the strength to buy a pair of slipper. This movie gives lot of thinking. One may say Sivasamy could have easily gave up the land in the first place which might helped him to lead a peaceful life. But to live a such a life, the fact that he was a coward, giving up the land because of some monster disguised as human asked him, would remind him every night and eventually he and his family might get perturbed. More than peaceful life, he would have become a slave. So, its hard to control and I don't know what  Sivasamy could have done to saved his family lives.

The cast is perfect in Asuran. Each and every characters were given equal importance. Needless to say that everyone performed very well especially Sivasamy and Chithambaram. Dhanush sets a new benchmark for his acting.  The next focus goes to Prakash Raj who is an attorney fighting for the weak people. It was good to see him after a gap.

Stunt plays very important role in Asuran. Almost all the fight scenes bumps the adrenaline especially the pre interval fight scene. Another major plus is background score. GV Prakash nailed it. As a standalone album it felt as mediocre but when we experience the same score in movie, it makes us unleash the Asuran within us. But Dhanush as Sivasamy advises us to, be patient and let go of the bad things and concentrate on the one thing that cannot be taken by anyone from us - Education.

Asuran - A kola mass movie from Vetrimaran and Dhanush.
