Raame Aandalum Raavane Aandalum Review: A Weak Social Drama!

Produced by star couple Jyothika and Suriya under their 2D Entertainment Banner, Raame Aandalum Raavane Aandalum on Amazon Prime Video has newcomer Mithun Manickam, Ramya Pandian, Vadivel Murugan and Vani Bhojan as the primary cast. Arisil Moorthy writes and directs this film on his directorial debut. Amongst the other social welfare films, which intend to make an impact and voice the voiceless, let’s see how Arisil Moorthy has fared to make a point.

Straight up, the film has an uncomplicated, straightforward plot. A couple loses their beloved Cows and desperately try and find them. In between, Arisil Moorthy has managed to make up and show the poor living conditions of the people in a small hamlet and aims at creating sympathy with Raame Aandalum Raavane Aandalum.

Arisil Moorthy had only two concepts in his hand; an emotional tale of a cattleman and to voice the social injustice happening in the villages. Well, the debutant has quite easily managed to mix them both and come up with a less significant melodrama in Raame Aandalum Raavane Aandalum. He couldn’t come up with enough intriguing scenes to fill the emotional part of the film, so he brings in the social situations to fit in the gaps. It made the film look a little here and there, aimlessly drifting without being a point made.

The director’s intentions to make a political satire causes weariness through his outdated and WhatsApp politics jokes and scenes. Arisil Moorthy plans of showing the village dwellers as innocent and vulnerable people but instead, he ends showing them as ignorant and stupid.

The director’s petty ego to make fun of the demonetisation is where I realised this guy wants to join the bandwagon of certain people who enjoy ridiculing the government. There is no wrong with it, but not at the cost of making the villagers look, dull-witted imbeciles.



Overall, Raame Aandalum Raavane Aandalum is another junk of a film whose only motto is to talk about a particular ideology of politics and gain unwanted sympathy talking about the lives of farmers. With a runtime of just under 120 minutes, the film tested my patience several times.

Many thanks to Suriya for realising it in Amazon Prime Video, I was able to fast-forward to the end of this neverending pale drama. My only takeaway from this Raame Aandalum Raavane Aandalum was few comics of Vadivel Murugan and one of the old ladies. Watch the film on Amazon Prime Video here.

‘RaRa’ Rating – 1/5
