What are the circumstances that made him marry Vanapechi?, will form the bottom line of Aravaan.

Performances:
Aadhi appears to be moved a bit high with his performance in Aravaan alongside Dhansika, who has killer looks with matured acting.

Swetha Menon has given a villainous presentation with her cunning looks that could be rendered better and could be given a length. Bharath and Anjali appeared in cameos, as demanded by the script. Pasupathy was apt to play Kombodhi and Archana Kavi could have been done better as Chimitti.

Technical Analysis:
Vasanthabalan has once again proved his direction mettle with Aravaan. Cinematographer Siddharth has captured locations very well to justify the period film.

Playback singer Karthik has debuted as music composer and got applauses for his work. Editing by Praveen.K.L and N.B.Srikanth, could have been handled better. It seems producer T.Siva has supported the team well.

Analysis:
Aravaan will be a signpost among the period films screened so far. Siddharth’s cinematography was one of the highlights in the movie and Karthik’s background was an added advantage to the slow paced direction by Vasanthabalan.
