Amaran Movie Review | Vishal Menon | THR India

Vishal Menon reviews "Amaran," the latest biographical war drama from director Rajkumar Periasamy starring Sivakarthikeyan as Major Mukund Varadarajan alongside Sai Pallavi and Rahul Bose. This emotional narrative weaves together multiple threads - a soldier's sacrifice, a love story across religious boundaries, and the complex reality of counter-terrorism operations in Kashmir.

The film follows Major Mukund Varadarajan (Sivakarthikeyan), whose journey from a college student to a commanding officer of the 44th Rashtriya Rifles is narrated through the memories of his wife Indhu Rebecca Varghese (Sai Pallavi). Vishal examines how the film balances its intense action sequences with intimate family moments, while analyzing the stellar performances of its cast.

With strong production values from Raj Kamal Films and Sony Pictures, and ambitious storytelling from writer-director Rajkumar Periasamy, "Amaran" marks Sivakarthikeyan's transformation from comedy roles to serious drama. Vishal discusses the film's themes, its technical execution, and its place in the landscape of military biopics.
