Aruvi Review

Aruvi is an intense social drama starring Aditi Balan in the lead role and directed by Arun Prabu. Ever since the first look poster of the film was released, the film created a lot of buzz. The film has finally hit the screens today, let's see whether the movie lives up to the expectations or not. The story begins with Aruvi (Aditi) being arrested by the cops claiming that she is a terrorist. The story moves to a flashback narrating her childhood which seems good until she is thrown out of her house. How she strives hard to find a place in the society and faces all the odds is the film all about.

Aditi Balan steals the show as Aruvi, a girl who is strong, weak, crazy, serious and all. Being a debutant and being an advocate in the past it must've been very tough for her to perform a role like this. But she never makes an impression that she is a debutante, and carries the entire film on her shoulders with a convincing performance. She is probably the best find of the year. She is well supported by Muhammad Ali Baig, Kavitha Bharathi, Lakshmi Gopalswamy and others who are also very less experinced as actors. All the actors put up a show which looks brilliant on screen.

Technically, Aruvi is one more brilliant film from the Dream Warrior Pictures banner. Their production values are superb and investing so much in a film which has many new comers speaks about their passion. Shelley Calist's visuals are superb and he captures the various emotions of Aruvi brilliantly and he is well supported by editor Raymond Derrick Crasta who edited the film beautifully. Music is just brilliant. Coming to Arun Prabhu, he is one of the finest directors of 2017 and has come up with a masterpiece. His story, screenplay, and direction are perfect and he has a long way to go.

Verdict: Brilliantly made film, go for it.
