The most thing for any film is how you keep the audience hooked for a 2hr 30min film, And dhanush did that in his own way. Even with a very normal story and the exceptional excecution the film quite well in some parts. Though there were so many faults, but the performance manages to clear all those defaults. Important thing is Music 💯 Even with a very normal story and the exceptional excecution the film quite well in some parts. Though there were so many faults, but the performance manages to clear all those defaults. And dhanush did that in his own way. Overall a good movie, which we can watch with zero expectations..

Had huge expectations from this one, didn't expect this one to drop on streaming after a mere 3 weeks of its release. Predetermined or a early release because it didn't do well in the theaters...? Age old plot with 'twists' and overall writing that weren't convincing enough. The cops and villains were not convincing enough. That said, the good performances by everyone; decent cinematography and amazing sound design. AR Rahman's music was felt...worthy of that nametag after a long time. Hope Dhanush directs more. The movie wasn't good but I dunno if its bad as people are making it out to be. Watchable....but I don't think you'll miss much if you skip it. Do listen to the songs though.

This movie is a joke.. 1st half of the movie was ok it was also a bit slow but i thought the 2nd half will fire up but noo 2nd half is the worst part.. ARR bgm scores were great, dhanush, Sundeep Kishan, S. J. Suryah, Selvaraghavan provided best acting especially Selvaraghavan given his lifetime best performance as an actor.. I don't know what happened to Varalaxmi Sarathkumar's face and she did appear for 4 or 5 scenes she did her best but the movie failed to entertain. Dhanush destroyed his own 50th movie by Directing this movie.. Don't waste your money for one song which is also screwed in movie.

**Review of "Raayan"** "Raayan," starring Dhanush alongside his two brothers and sister, initially sets the stage with promise but quickly falters as the story unfolds. The film begins with an intriguing premise, featuring strong performances from the cast, particularly Dhanush, who brings his usual charisma to the role. However, as the narrative progresses, it descends into chaos. The pacing becomes erratic, leaving viewers struggling to grasp the plot. Key moments feel rushed, and the motivations of the characters become muddled. It's as if the creators had a vision but lost their way, resulting in a disjointed experience that fails to deliver a coherent message. While the family dynamics and some emotional beats resonate, they are overshadowed by the overall confusion of the storyline. By the film's climax, many audience members might find themselves asking what the filmmakers truly intended to convey. In summary, "Raayan" starts with potential but ultimately falls short, leaving viewers unsatisfied and bewildered. It's a missed opportunity for a film that could have explored deeper themes with the talented cast at its helm.

Dhanush has always been one of Tamil cinema's most consistent actors in terms of the quality of projects he accepts. So when he makes his directorial debut, one surely must be excited to see what his storytelling vision really is. It's not very surprising that he tries to model his debut along the lines of some of his most acclaimed work as an actor (think "Asuran" or "Vada Chennai"), and for the most part, he has a story that's good enough to get the conversation started. "Raayan" is a movie about an orphaned family of siblings fending for themselves in a city infested with gang violence and one where the volatile instability of their lives are highlighted. It has all the markings of a good 'Vetri Maaran-esque' movie, and it promisingly starts off in that regard too. Right until the movie's interval block, it has its sights set on where it would want to end up, and does a great job keeping the audience interested and invested in the movie and its characters. For as well as it started, it's the movie's second half that disappoints massively, as it just comes across as if the movie is stuck not knowing where to go from here. It has very few points of interest from thereon, and the story beats just don't seem to work. The movie drags and drags to the point where you're now just waiting for it to end. The second half has nothing to offer and that stance is insulted further by the time we get to the movie's climax, which seems to be entirely unaware of the mockery it's making of the entire movie and its premise. It's disappointing especially, considering how promising the movie looked during its first half. Most of the mistakes in this movie comes from bad flow and writing. It had the foundation to succeed, but didn't have the experience to build off that, and that is ideally where Dhanush would have to improve should he want to continue down this particular path of storytelling. And as for whether this movie is worth checking out in cinemas, no, it's not, don't bother.

While in this year (2024) no quality films were released. Tamil cinema had seen numerous gangster making movies or like normal person to being a gangster. +ve : A. R. Rahaman Music, Dhanush performance, screenplay, -ve: Dhanush doesn't where is needs to go in the second half, SJ suryah is not a right person Like the Audience are hungry searching for Briyani,Fried Rice, Full non-veg meals finally settled for chapathi.. We have seen many movies like this Bhagavathi, Thirupathichi, Thotti jaya of charters revolving around the families. Same as that on a different angle. One time watchable.. It would be good experience on theaters not on OTT.

An average first half and Worst second half sj surya should be used properly and the dialogues are very poor screen play is below average 🙄 and there is loop whole is this movie overall it is a bad flim. Dhanush character arc is very poor this movie needs a flashback like baasha but Dhanush spoiled the character but his acting is excellent and dhushara vijayan character is logic less and this movie is piece of scrap or waste don't watch this movie in theatres and selvaraghavan character is nothing he has poor dialogue in this movie and bgm was average dance choreography is 💩 and Prakash Raj character is good.
