Arya is a "RAGING BULL in Pa. Ranjith's Picture:
The movie begins with a Kabilan(Arya) a worker at port who is eager to leave work to watch a boxing match.The story takes place 1970's Madras, the director takes nearly 15 to 20 mins for exposition of his story ie. rivalry between two clans namely Sarpatta Parambarai headed by Rangan(Pasupathy "Powerful acting") and Idiyappa Parambarai(G.M.Kumar Effective.), Sarpatta is unable to beat Idiyappa Parambarai's Main board player Vembuli the unbeatable(Jhon Kokken) for a long period of time. The Camera work is Masterclass as it not only supports the story but also effectively helps the audience understand it ,for instance in the exposition sequence after Sarpatta is again faced with defeat and the rival clan celebrates their victroy, Rangan pitch one final fight a crucial one,the camera work is outstanding in this sequence as rival celebrates their victory and who is gonna make sarpatta break the jinx the camera slowly moves vertically by shifting the focus from Idiyappa parambarai to Kabilan who is the sole focus in the picture visually answering the question ,a powerful use of cinematography.
Eventhough the beats are cliche the viewer never gets bored of it due to masterclass directions and story telling accompanied by epic set works.The supporting characters are simply superb and the list is real big viz. Dancing Rose(Shabeer), Daddy aka. Kevin(John Vijay), Mariamma(Dushara Vijayan), Vetriselvan the hot head(Kalaiarasan).
The boxing drama touches every nuances politics ,discrimination, redemption etc. The powerful and crucial character "Beedi Rayappan" who is a real - life boxer adds value to the picture.
Santosh Narayanan at his best a enthralling and charging score which enhances the viewer experience.
A Epic Tale from the Master.
