Story and Direction :The film balances Mukund’s life off duty and his time in service. While the army sequences occasionally lack novelty, the director manages to keep the portrayal grounded and authentic. The first military operation is compelling, though the second half feels slightly repetitive. Despite this, the director skillfully walks the fine line between accuracy and commercial appeal.

Technical Aspects : GV Prakash's music and background score are integral, seamlessly enhancing the film’s emotional depth without overpowering scenes. The cinematography captures the beauty and tension of Kashmir, particularly through close-ups that convey Sai Pallavi's range of nuanced expressions. The editing keeps the action and emotional sequences well-paced, while the action choreography and art design bring detail and authenticity to the Kashmir segments.

Final Word

Amaran is a moving tribute to Major Mukund, shedding light on the sacrifices of army families. It’s a film that resonates deeply, honoring bravery, sacrifice, and the indomitable spirit of the Indian Army. Salute to the Director Rajkumar Periasamy and Kamal Haasan for bringing an important story on the big screen. Now, it is our job as audience to do the honors by watching it in theatres.
