Aruvi
Aruvi movie review.PR Handout

Producer SR Prabhu of Dream Warrior Pictures has come out with a series of successful projects in a span of two years. The list includes Nayanthara's Maya, Raju Murugan's Joker and more recently Karthi's Theeran Adhigaram Ondru. Now, the production house is back with Aruvi, directed by Arun Prabu Purushothaman.

The film has newcomer Aditi Balan in the lead. It has Bindu Malini and Vedanth Bharadwaj's music, Shelley Calist's cinematography and Raymond Derrick Crasta's editing. 

Aruvi tells about the social anguish of a girl played by Aditi Balan. It is a movie that touches the audience with all forms of emotions. At one moment you will be laughing and at other you will into tears. Likewise you will feel the loneliness of the character at certain point and the viewers will simultaneously experience the anger.

It is a film the fall in the categories of heart-wrenching as well as heart-warming drama. It narrates the story of the the girl, who keeps a TV studio under siege.

Reviews:
Going by the early response on Twitter, debutant Aditi Balan has stunned the critics and viewers with her solid performance. The brilliant writing by the director himself takes the larger pie in success of the film. The music and cinematography departments have enhanced the overall quality of the flick.

"Aruvi is a superbly written drama centred around a unique character that unfolds as a thriller, a black comedy, an awareness movie, and a tragedy. The film is so effortlessly crowd-pleasing — and also tremendously moving. This is, by far, the most unconventional among the recent new-age films, with a bravura lead performance by Aditi Balan," writes the reviewer from The Times of India.

The critic from the Indian Express have also lavishly praised the movie. "This year truly belongs to the debutant directors and Arun Prabhu Purushothaman finishes the list in style. His writing is gold. Even when the film slightly takes a preachy tone, the authenticity in his words keeps you hooked. He makes his protagonist find solace with three people who ruined her life and yet, you don't blink an eye. Forget Balachander's complicated relationships, this one takes the cake. Yet, you don't question her choices. That's the success of Arun's writing," the reviewer writes.

Here, we bring to you the tweets made by those, who have already seen the flick:

We often tend to overlook the producer's role in a film, but #Aruvi shows how invaluable they are. The film wouldn't have been made without a producer believing in it. #Maanagaram, #Theeran & now this - all in the same year! To me, @prabhu_sr is the Kollywood Person of the Year.

#Aruvi: Heart-wrenching and heart-warming at the same time. Sweetly unconventional, poignant & hard-hitting. @thambiprabu89's school of thought & avant-garde storytelling shatter mainstream cliches effortlessly. I sincerely hope he gets to direct his 2nd film sooner than later.
