It is known for killing people and taking their forms to gather more power. Years later, Selvi and her family gets mysteriously killed in a mansion leaving her two kids orphaned. Selvi&#8217;s brother Saravanan, who&#8217;s a lawyer comes to the mansion on hearing the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Selvi eloped with her boyfriend as her family was against her wish. Since then, Saravanan hasn&#8217;t seen her. On noticing a lot of mystery surrounding his sister&#8217;s death, Saravanan starts investigating the same. Surprisingly, Saravanan finds out a killing spree happening in the village under mysterious circumstances. He notices the presence of a sage at the murder scenes and starts the trial to finds out the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sundar C had been, since quite some time, working on installments of the Aranmanai franchise. We are at a place where the franchise can be equated to the conjuring series, except that they weren&#8217;t as successful as The Conjuring. Since the first part of Aranmanai, everything else were a snooze fest with forced jumpscares and unwanted comedy. As Aranmanai 4 was announced, it was natural for people to expect nothing but another snooze fest. But oh boy, how wrong we were!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Starting with what worked the best in Aranmanai 4 compared to its other installments &#8211; firstly, the treatment. Unlike other movies of the franchise that had a sleazy script and boring screenplay, Aranmanai 4 had a neatly written script with necessary detailing. Secondly, the visual effects were neat. There was no frown-worthy VFX in the movie that makes us feel getting out of the theatre. Thirdly, no unnecessary skin shows. It is a Sundar C mark to present actresses at their glamourous best. Here the story didn&#8217;t demand it, and the maker didn&#8217;t go there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GMqE5TeWsAAYkf0-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6642\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GMqE5TeWsAAYkf0-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GMqE5TeWsAAYkf0-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GMqE5TeWsAAYkf0-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GMqE5TeWsAAYkf0-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GMqE5TeWsAAYkf0-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GMqE5TeWsAAYkf0.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Tamannaah as Selvi in Aranmanai 4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But out of all these, there are two best elements that made this movie work big time &#8211; Tamannaah Bhatia and Hip Hop Tamizha. Tamannaah&#8217;s portrayal of selfie is probably one of her best works in her career. Her performance as a fierce mother was top notch and the interval shot will bring you goosebumps. Such was her screen presence. Her entry to the franchise with Aranmanai 4 was totally worth it. Hiphop tamizha gave their best for Aranmanai 4. The background score were really impressive at multiple portions elevating the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unnecessary jump scares are avoided in the movie and the ones included works fine. The biggest negative of Aranmanai 4 is the comedy tracks. It could have been completely avoided as not even a single comedy sequence worked. They were all either cringeworthy or misplaced. The freshness about Aranmanai 4 was how the evil was presented with a different backstory and motives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GMgFv-WXgAAULbO-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6643\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GMgFv-WXgAAULbO-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GMgFv-WXgAAULbO-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GMgFv-WXgAAULbO-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GMgFv-WXgAAULbO-1229x1536.jpeg 1229w, https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GMgFv-WXgAAULbO.jpeg 1638w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption>Tmannaah Bhatia and Raashi Khanna<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Being all these said, Sundar C didn&#8217;t forget his fans. As the end credits roll, we get to see both Tamannaah and Raashi Khanna in an ultra-glamourous song where we see the typical Sundar C mark. The Achacho song from Aranmanai 4 made it to trending even before the movie&#8217;s release and we have to admit Sundar knows how to market his movie well. Tamannaah and Raashi were seen in a never before kind of glamourous avatar, exposing their best assets. Both the hotties dance through a peppy number with ample display of their curves, without interrupting the movie in any way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aranmanai 4 is a surprise hit from Sundar C where Tamannaah Bhatia shines big time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aranmanai 4 Review\ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n<p>Sundar C makes a neat horror flick where Tamannaah Bhatia shines in a strong role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":6644,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[77,36,124,123,56,125,55,114,78,101,556,70,597,598,122,489],"tags":[64,99,53,66],"class_list":["post-6639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-origin","category-actors","category-actresses","category-castandcrew","category-comedy","category-directors","category-genres","category-horror","category-indian","category-movie-review","category-raashi-khanna","category-review","category-sundar-c","category-sundar-c-directors","category-tamil","category-tammana-bhatia","tag-editorial-picks","tag-movie-review","tag-movies","tag-spoiler-free-review"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6639"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6639"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6639\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6892,"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6639\/revisions\/6892"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fandom.yougle.ai\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
