Routine yet Relatable!

Despite being a template commercial film that follows all the tried and tested formulas, it is definitely not a bad choice for a one time watch as the story idea is worthy and the emotions behind it work big time. The screenplay isn�t boring too.(more)

Lawrence's formulaic Rudhran fails to impress

There's nothing original in the film except Boomi's backstory and rise as a gangster, which is quite engaging. However, the action sequences between Boomi and Rudhran are lengthy and make us wish for them to end sooner. Although the staging is decent, the jarring background score and over-the-top punch dialogues put us in a grim situation. The romantic sequences are well-executed, though a couple of songs in the second half could have been avoided.(more)

Raghava Lawrence's film is a pain to your ears and eyes

Raghava Lawrence as Rudhran oversells his performance, especially in those scenes where he tries to be childish and romantic. You end up frowning at his expressions. Priya Bhavani Shankar�s Ananya is the typical �homely girl� who is there to hype the hero and take care of him. Sarathkumar as Bhoominathan is a dreaded gangster, along with his friend (Sharath Lohitashwa). Their backstory is the only portion that managed to lure audiences� attention for a while.(more)

This Raghava Lawrence, Sarathkumar reunion is an assault on our senses

Rudhran is an excruciating watch that brings nothing new to the table and tries to capitalise on the tropes that had worked for ages, only to fail because of the same reason. How hard could it be to give the audience an enjoyable commercial entertainer? From the looks of it, it�s very difficult.(more)
