Vetrimaraan’s action thriller Asuran turns …
Kollywood’s critically acclaimed director Vetrimaaran has always exceeded expectations with his films, and it’s been 4 years since their last collaboration, Asuran, hit the theatres and left the viewers in complete awe.
Versatile filmmaker Vetrimaaran is one of the best directors in the country. All his films were critically and commercially successful. He took filmmaking to the finest level and created cult classic films of all time, and Asuran is one of them. The man has always been an expert at presenting or adapting stories in such a way that viewers are often left wondering what they witnessed in his film. Some filmmakers may see the characters’ raw action, authentic village life, and filter-free dialogues as a bold and forward attempt. Many are even reluctant to include such things, worrying about the backlash it could send across society, but Vetrimaaran has never shied away from presenting his films in that way. Film critics widely appreciate his unique filmmaking style.
Asuran is a Tamil-language film adapted from a novel called Vekkaiv, written by Poomani. A novel’s adaptation must transcend beyond the imagination of every reader of the original novel. Yet, it has to be presentable in the best way for those who have never read it. The task which Vetrimaaran proved he was more than capable enough to do with his previous venture, Visaranai, The narrative of the film supports the whole plot greatly, best sufficient on how the sub-plot about the protagonist’s character development was shown in a contrasting manner, using his past and present-day events as vices for progressing the story significantly, ultimately bringing the viewer’s cinematic experience to a new and grander conclusion.
He often collaborated with Kollywood’s most critically acclaimed actor-Dhanush. He is an exemplary artist who is a favourite among the audience and the dream actor for any filmmaker. He can pull off multiple genres of films, some commercially viable while others being eccentric as they come. His output in presenting a duality of the same character in Asuran points out how adept he is in handling his characters. The aged father character who wants to save his son is the complete opposite when the character is shown in his younger years.
The film won two national awards in Best Feature Film in Tamil and Best Actor for Dhanush. The film was one of the tenth films screened at 78, the Golden Globe Awards, and the 51st International Film Festival of India.
