A heroic true story of Major Mukund Varadarajan, an Indian Army officer who displayed extraordinary bravery during a counterterrorism mission in Kashmir’s Shopian district. The film captures his courage in protecting his nation and the devotion of his wife Indhu Rebecaa Varghese.
AK:Welcome to the big league Siva VJ:Thuppakki ah pudinga Siva SK justifies both through Amaran, entering the big action league with all guns blazing.
The man lives and breathes as Major Mukund, impressing with his terrific transformation and sincere performance. A definite milestone in his career. The choice to narrate it through Indhu Rebecca Varghese pov was a masterstroke, as it makes it feel like an emotional love story brimming with heart and soul. Sai Pallavi was truly fantastic and their hearty chemistry-nuanced romance get so refreshingly executed. GVP strikes with his rousing musical score, perfectly complementing the grand rich visuals and powerfully effective action sequences.
Though it felt a bit stretched with few generic hiccups, the technically brilliant and…
P.S I remember how 10 to 15 years back sk used to host a lot of award nights, audio launch and tv shows where most of the jokes used to be centred around him on how he wants to be a hero but will never be . Look at him now.
Sry ba not a fan of films that say "Ellam azharanga la paathu neeyum azhu da". I should feel it in me to cry. The man and his story deserved a better film.
Right when the professional life arc of Major Mukund starts, there's a line in the film that goes "Stone pelting is such a nuisance here sir", I got concerned over where the film's loyalties lie. There's one other sequence where the military men are celebrating their kills (even a montage edit that's intercut between the soldiers killing and them playing Holi with each other). But thankfully the film doesn't dwell much on these insensitive bits.
One other takeaway line being Major Mukund's father asking his son, who's…
a very generic and commercialised biopic that is no different from many that have come before it. someone should study how all these army men in movies seem to have literally the same life story and are almost like superheroes at all points and never have any vulnerability. only good parts are the scenes with sai pallavi who carried the film despite the terrible malayalam dialogues given to her. GVP also does a great job in the music department. the dehumanising portrayal of kashmiri muslims isn’t helping the film either, even the first 15min of beast had more nuance. overall it might be a crowd pleaser but it was still a very disappointing watch
I don't know how many of you guys have actually gone through this but you know when a new movie opens to positive acclaim from all sides - and you decide to join the bandwagon and decide to go and watch and support that movie in the theatre, just for you to walk out absolutely gutted and disappointed. Well, this is that movie.
Amaran has been the talk of the town since it opened last week. With literally everybody talking about Sivakarthikeyan thuppaki pudichitaaru dawww, but most of them not even telling why they even like the film. I heard some stupid fucks shouting kaduvuley ajithee before and during the showtime and it pissed me off.
Ahh! I love patriotic cinema, and I love India—an emotionally gripping tale of love and sacrifice! The movie has its ups and downs, but it still manages to keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
It does have some generic scenes that could be reduced, but on the other hand, there are many heartstrings moments too which balanced the film. Also Every actor shines in their role and gives their best.
Overall, Amaran is not just a tribute to a brave soldier but also to the families who stand behind them. A must-watch for those who value heartfelt storytelling.
