Siren, directed by Antony Bhagyaraj, is a Tamil thriller film that features Jayam Ravi as Thilagan, a man who is released on parole after spending 14 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. The film follows his journey as he tries to reconnect with his family and society, while also getting entangled in a series of murders that seem to be linked to his past. The film also stars Keerthy Suresh as Nandhini, a police officer who investigates the case, and Anupama Parameswaran as Thilagan’s wife.
The film is a mixed bag of heightened emotions, convenient writing, and first-rate editing. The film has some engaging moments and twists, but also suffers from melodrama and cliches. The film tries to balance the genres of drama, action, and comedy, but ends up being inconsistent and uneven. The film also has some logical loopholes and contrived situations, which affect the credibility and impact of the story.
The film showcases Jayam Ravi’s versatility and Keerthy Suresh’s charm
The film’s highlight is the performance of Jayam Ravi, who plays a dual role of Thilagan and his younger self. Jayam Ravi shows his versatility and range as an actor, as he portrays the different shades and emotions of his character with conviction and finesse. He is especially impressive in the scenes where he displays his vulnerability and innocence, as well as his anger and determination. He also excels in the action and comedy scenes, where he showcases his charisma and timing.
Keerthy Suresh, as the female lead, is also a delight to watch, as she plays a smart and strong police officer, who is also compassionate and caring. She has a good chemistry with Jayam Ravi, and adds some glamour and grace to the film. She also has some memorable scenes, where she displays her courage and wit, as well as her humor and emotion.
The film has a good technical team and a decent music score
The film’s technical team deserves a special mention, as they have done a commendable job in enhancing the film’s quality and appeal. The film’s editor, Ruben, is especially noteworthy, as he has used a non-linear narrative style, where he intercuts the scenes of Thilagan’s past and present, to create a sense of suspense and intrigue. He also maintains a good pace and rhythm throughout the film, and makes the film more engaging and gripping.
The film’s music director, D. Imman, has also delivered a decent music score, which suits the mood and tone of the film. The film has four songs, which are composed and sung well, and blend with the film’s narrative. The film’s background score is also effective and impactful, as it enhances the emotions and tension of the scenes.
