Amaran starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead is an upcoming biographical action film based on the life of late Indian Army Major Mukund Varadarajan. Amaran releases in theaters on October 31, 2024 marking the Diwali holiday, and had a trailer release on Wednesday. A first impression report of the Amaran trailer follows:

First Impression: First and foremost, the Amaran trailer looks solid and power-packed. The makers are clear about their vision, and haven’t compromised on either content or commercial appeal.

True to Genre: It’s been ages since a Tamil film embraced patriotism this strongly. Based on what we see in the Amaran trailer, the makers have maintained balance in this biopic, refraining from exaggeration, and at the same time doing justice to all the real-life characters.

What to expect from Amaran, the movie: The action and emotional angles seem to be the main USPs of the film. The trailer highlights Major Mukund Varadarajan's love for the army and the country (emotional), and his fierce presence on the battlefield (action), both of which seem to strike the right chord.

As with most biopics, the story may be familiar, but what makes the film worth the watch is the convincing narrative, and team Amaran seems to have achieved that.

Overall: Amaran trailer promises a story of courage, sacrifice, and valour, and Sivakarthikeyan, Sai Pallavi, director Rajkumar Periyasamy have delivered exactly that. Amaran, the "gun" is power-packed, and lives up to the hype, making it an unmissable first choice for moviegoers this Diwali.

Amaran is written and directed by Rajkumar Periyasamy and is produced by Kamal Haasan's Raaj Kamal Films International and Sony Pictures International Productions. The movie also stars Rahul Bose, Bhuvan Arora among others, and has GV Prakash for music, CH Sai for cinematography. Anbariv, Stefan Richter for action, Rajeevan for production design, Sheriff for choreography, and R. Kalaivannan for edits.
