The Tamil version of Rakshit Shetty's magnum opus Avane Srimannarayana is released in Tamil Nadu on Friday, 3 January. The fantasy adventure had its special screening for the Tamil media and movie enthusiast a day before its theatrical release from which it has garnered highly positive reviews.
Avane Srimannarayana Review
Two brothers Jayarama and Thukarama are engaged in a battle to recover the stolen treasure 15 years ago. With the entry of a cop Narayana (Rakshit Shetty), the hunt for it gains momentum as he too has his eyes on it. The surprises with regular twists in the storyline makes it an interesting watch.
Rakshit Shetty's characterisation is a mixture of Indiana Jones and Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of Caribbean. His body language and dialogue delivery hold mirror to the talent his possess. Shanvi Srivastava is not a regular heroine and has a good role in the flick.
The supporting cast has done excellent job. Last but not the least, the cinematography and music have played a big role in its success. Overall, Avane Srimannarayana has impressed the viewers in spite of minor drawbacks.

Kaushik LM: #AvaneSrimanNarayana: 3.25/5. From start to finish, we see @rakshitshetty as a playful protagonist with funny punchlines & stylish action moves. He doesnt play the usual Indian mass hero; out of the box Pretty
@shanvisrivastav is also not the typical heroine
Kannada industry #AvaneSrimanNarayana: 3.25/5. The team has meticulously created a fictional land named #Amaravathi & presented a complex, layered #treasurehunt story
No compromises - long runtime, dialog heavy nature & no efforts to dumb it down
A potential cult film from @rakshitshetty & team Fine work with the Tamil dubbing & dialogs #ASN is an ambitious, aesthetic, innovative attempt at blending Indian mythology, folklore & the international 'Spaghetti Western' genre. Full marks to the music, visuals, costumes, art dpt.@rakshitshetty
