Arya is hoping for an image makeover with his latest movie Kadamban. The Raghava-directorial was a physically taxing project for the actor as the action drama has been majorly shot in forests. From running barefoot to doing action sequences with a herd of 70 elephants, the Tamil flick turned out to be a tough ask for the Naan Kadavul fame.
Kadamban Synopsis: Arya plays the titular role as a tribal in the movie. His character is inspired by Tarzan. He collects honey in the forest for a living. His tribe come under threat after vested interests try to force them out of their habitat. Kadamba tells the story of a tribal hero who saves his people from forced eviction.

The two hour movie has a strong social message, told in a commercial format without adding unnecessary masala.

Kadamban Audience Review:
Sidhu: #Kadamban: Terrific visuals in real locations, especially in the second half. Needed a better cast, the villains look weak and lack power.
#Kadamban: Arya's best in recent times. He's much better as an action hero and should do more of it. Climax in particular, very neatly done.
#Kadamban: Engaging forest ride. Despite conventional storytelling, it has its special moments which make it worth a watch. Decent film.
Navaneesh Nagarajan @iam_navaneesh: #Kadamban - #KollyTrendsReview
First half: The emotional stuff that needs to make us connected is lacking. Arya is energetic. The interv...
Dhananjayan Govind: #Kadamban is a brilliant effort from @naviin2050 & @arya_offl... Very sincere in the theme & presentation. Superb work by Arya. Must watch
Karthi: #kadamban - slow paced .engages only in parts. Music and CG is big let down to the film.But still watchable .
Praveen: #Kadamban — Lovely capture of forest locations, USP stunning cinematography. CGI is good in parts. #Yuvan's music okay. Villains weak link.
#Kadamban — The theme had scope for many hard hitting moments but few.Director could have done much better, climax with elephants superb tho
#Kadamban — @arya_offl is just incredible with stunts. Amazing physique and agility. He is convincing in his role. #CatherineTresa is 2 good
#Kadamban — The msg and intent are commendable but the execution is artificial as it misses the very idea of the core plot. Keeps deviating.
#Kadamban — 2.5/5 Unexciting forest adventure ride. Noble attempt that explores the grim realities of tribal lifestyle but script lets down.
Prashanth Rangaswamy: #kadamban - Heavy inspiration from many movies. Although the intent of director is good. Execution and screenplay let's d movie down.
#kadamban - Misfire.
#kadamban - Arya has worked very very hard . Wish the director used his physical capabilities fully !
#kadamban - Shades of Puli Murugan , Good Dinosaur , Avatar and other movies. Makes it less interesting and less original.
#Kadamban interval - Usual stuff with forest backdrop. Not boring though. Story just picking up.
ChristopherKanagaraj: #Kadamban | Arya is perfect fit.Very good 1st hlf; 2nd hlf is avg, full of fight scenes & poor CG. Interval action block super. Watchable!
Deepak Gopal @deepakgopal19: #kadamban..#Interval.. So far gud wid some good Visuals. Detailing on tribes s noteworthy..@arya_offl @CatherineTresa1 are perfect. Engaging
