It is from the Sahitye academy award winning tamil novelist Venkatesan, that Vasantha Balan had travelled to 18th Century to bring in an amazing experience for his audience. If one would ever want to peek into the life style of the people, the era before britisher's stepped into india - Aravan is the movie which would take them there like a time machine. Through the eyes of Siddharth, we are able to see outstanding visuals of history. In the present day, Hardly one sees the stars in the sky, But the story starts with an extreme connection between the human life and the stars. Pasupathy, heading a small south tamilnadu group, has a team to do the stealth job with great level of expertise and trades in the stolen valuables for food to take back to his group. The happiness in the group is short lived until the soldiers from a nearby kingdom break into their livelihood threatening their extinction if one could not find the princesses necklace. It is when the director introduces Aadhi as a wanderer who uses Pasupathy's village name for his loots. The interactions between Pasupathy and Aadhi are portrayed brilliantly. With a cloud of suspicion over inducting Aadhi into their main stream activities, the group takes in on one of the toughest jobs. One will see what happens next and the incident reveals the motive of Aadhi.
Jallikattu - the traditional bull fight helps Aadhi to flex his muscles and establish himself as one of the top contenders for recognition. With a well picked up characters and their performance, Aravan is a complete thriller packed with action and romance. It's worth a watch.
