The best transition and performance movie by Mr.d the legend dhanush. No commercial elements , no mass elements just a simple story, a terrifying thriller. Dhanush oh boy his osm acting and body language nailed it for both the characters. I think most of the people didnt like this film but i loved it. Many think its a ghost movie but its not, its just a pure psycatry and twin theory alone, it will be difficult to understand though. Not a usual selva screenplay but was quite amazing. Selva nailed it once again. The girl and the boy nailed with their performances , osm characterisation and performance. One of top best psycho thriller pls do watch in amazon prime.

The first part of the film was captivating until the revelation of the 2nd character's introduction & rather its wrongdoings. 2nd half started with a backstory followed by a vengeance seemed so usual and felt a bit dramatic. There are a few good things in the film especially the father-daughter relationship if you're in that zone, you might probably like this film to the core. I realised lately that the story was written by Dhanush and not Selva, that's when all the dots were connected for why this Selvaraghavan's make was lacking that tingling touch of the maker, looks like Selva got carried away & trapped by his brother's charm of story-telling and thus agreed to put his legendary tag to the film. And I hated the idea of bringing in the kids to this kinda vengeance plot as it has the potential to exploit & corrupt the smaller minds. And I don't think, U1 scored music for this film since it is just way below average, nothing mentionable. And Dhanush's acting was something that keeps us engaged & holds us together till the very end.

so sweet

I do not know why there are so many bad reviews for this movie....... It is definitely worth a watch. Dhanush's duo performance was very good.... And the little girl who acts as Sathya has done a marvelous job... Acting ✅..... BGM ✅...... Story - little weak but still good...... First half kept us on the edge.... But second half could have been improved a little more..... The only mistake this movie did was to release at the same time as Ponniyin Selvan - I... Where I am from this movie was there only for a day and just one show. Selvaragavan's movies are hardly ever a let down.. I don't regret the decision of going for this movie.

Wow, Dhanush as Kathir had incredible acting talent. It was exciting in the first half since it began out supernatural. It turns out that the second half is a typical Tamil film. Dhanush carried the second half. If it were more darker, the outcome of this file may have been different. Yuvan's music and BGM gives goosebumps. Overall, Dhanus-Selvaraghavan-Yuvan trio produced a passable movie, but in comparison to their prior collaboration, they fell short. Don't expect much from this narrative, but you might watch it on the big screen once for Dhanush's acting. The touch of the director Selvaraghavan is what this film lacks.

Dhanush excels in acting the both characters. The girl who plays Dhanush's daughter was good. Selva just came in for just 10mins but he makes you shiver. I liked both the twin's story(Dhanush with the possessed daughter and Dhanush the psycho character). The bgm of the negative Dhanush is sssoooo gooodddd. Yuvan's music for Dhanush is always different. 1st half where Dhanush struggled with his possessed daughter amd second half where the negative Dhanush who has an ambition of hunting humans both was perfectly done by Dhanush. Storyline is good, very fast and edgy but climax could have been better. All in all its a good thriller.

The magical director - actor duo who can single handedly raise the stakes for any film have come up with a movie which shows promise but never fully delivers. This Aalavandhan lite meets any Hollywood film on possession minus the exorcism, has a decent premise, even starts off well but the intriguing characters are never fully explored. The trained hunter vs a weak unskilled man premise could've been a different beast altogether. The first half is more like a typical horror thriller which was a surprise yet it doesn't give anything unique. Selvaraghavan succeeds in maintaining the intrigue till the interval and a severely downplaying Dhanush as Prabhu scores all the point. The "high" created by the interval doesn't transform into a rocking second half instead we get a predictable tale of twins - one pure evil and the other obviously innocent. It is Dhanush the actor who scores by coming up with a committed performance whereas the ordinary writing doesn't fully do justice to Dhanush as well as Selvaraghavan's stature. With a short runtime, the slow pace narration isn't really a problem and the music lends good support though the expectations were sky high. Watch it for Dhanush otherwise Naane Varuvean is largely a missed opportunity.

Take Away actor Dhanush and Yuvan Shankar Raja, you are left with nothing in this film. I agree that this is rather poor for an attempted 'COMEBACKS', director Selvaraghavan is only person to blame in this project. There are couple of problems with this movie, main thing is that it fails to convince on psychological metamorphoses that turn twins into enemies nor makes up its mind what it's trying to convey as most of the interesting things in the film are in the first half. Whilst I knew from the beginning that it was going to be a predictable fare and it did. Right from the opening i knew where this Selvaraghavan was taking the film, i just hang in there because to see more of villain Dhanush. It gets draggy and crumpled in the second half, not what I came for, but does right by it for the current (actor>director) Selva's standard and the ending feels like a rushed cap off to a film such as this. But the film boils down to a simple parable about good and evil, actions of the past and generic revenge angle. I am not gonna say this is horrid, the paranormal and psychological angle is riveting which is explored well in the first half. The second half with the supernatural revenge thriller inspires little interest. Even the father-daughter relationship parts were pretty good and doesn't come across as a yawn. To sum it up, it's atmospheric with all the authority of the lead, supporting child artists, it looks like a creative experiment. Kudos to Dhanush for trying out new narratives but the plot had lot of interesting possibilities doesn't mean it is bad movie, it will hold your attention. For Dhanush, every work with Selva is an undoubted success commercially and critically. In this film, he has done two polar opposite with brilliance accentuated by background score of Yuvan and there is nothing more to add here.

The teaser literally showed that it's a story about a good brother and a bad brother. Why do y'all expect something bigger than that? Me watching the teaser itself I knew the plot would be small, why in the world do people expect so much of crap in a small film? I understand that it's a Selvaraghavan film so you guys can't stop yourselves from expecting special from Selva-Dhanush combo but look at Selva's previous films, NGK and Nenjam Marapathilai was so much worse than Naane Varuven: I would give this film a solid 8/10. U1's terrific BGM, Dhanush's acting, 1st half was super interesting, interval scene, and PERFECT DURATION. Watch this with zero expectations and you won't be disappointed.
