Raayan Movie Review
WHO SHOULD WATCH:
Dhanush presents a routine story with very few twists, but the slow-paced screenplay diminishes the story’s impact.
There is no strong hook to illustrate the conflict between SJ Suryah and Dhanush. The reasons provided are unconvincing, and SJ Suryah’s potential is not fully utilized.
The film caters mainly to action movie enthusiasts and may not be suitable for family audiences due to its violent content.
Manage your expectations accordingly.
