Iraivan

This movie has missed the opportunity to be blockbuster because it lacks the story. Even no characters are there with you can make attachment everyone is just liking doing there role without any emotional build up. You don't know the reason why the villian is doing so they have no story of past of present it comes and go just like tv ads.

Some scenes are brutal which can help the movie if it linked with an emotion and story.

Only one thing is good about this movie is acting of Nayantara ana Jayam ravi.

Bgm is worst👎.

Some engaging scene are available.

Just watch movie for one time. Never watch it with high exception like Ratsasan and Imaikka Nodingal.

"Iraivan," directed by I Ahmed, explores the idea that humans can be very dangerous. It's a film about serial killers, a topic that many people find fascinating. However, the film sometimes feels like it's trying to follow a trend rather than offering a unique perspective on the subject. There are many intriguing aspects to explore about storytelling in this genre, but the movie falls short in this regard.

The story revolves around two men, Bramma and Arjun. Bramma is a psychopath who believes killing humans is like killing mosquitoes, while Arjun is a fearless cop who delivers justice to criminals. The narrative focuses on someone who admires these men in disturbing ways.

Unfortunately, the film doesn't do justice to these interesting ideas. It feels like the director didn't venture beyond the initial concept. The only memorable scene is when a grieving father decides to join his deceased daughter after seeing a horrifying video of her murder. Jayam Ravi's tired portrayal of Arjun is a departure from his usual sharp roles.

The film emphasizes style with flashy visuals, but it lacks emotional depth. It relies too heavily on shock and gore. Female characters are poorly written and often reduced to victim roles, lacking depth and complexity. Priya, Arjun's love interest, comes across as insensitive, and her character seems forced.

The movie's lack of emotional consistency extends to the investigation. The senior cop often seems clueless about his team's discoveries, needing last-minute exposition to catch up. He scolds his officers only to backtrack when they reveal crucial findings. The climax follows a tired formula, with the cops arriving too late for the action. In a ludicrous flashback, Bramma's bizarre "mosquitoes equal humans" idea transfers to Babu after a single conversation. Many moments blur the line between genuine psychopathy and absurd parody.

Babu, an eccentric character, is portrayed effectively by Vinoth Kishan, but the script offers little depth beyond an intriguing concept. Even a suspenseful moment hints that Arjun is right about Babu, removing any chance for surprise. It's clear the hero can never be wrong, maintaining a basic level throughout most of the film.

The most complexity arises from Babu's need for validation from his self-declared mentor, Bramma, and his desire to see fear in Arjun's eyes. The film misses an opportunity to delve deeper into Babu's ego. There's potential for a more serious exploration beneath the surface.

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🙂!!

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.

'"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.
