The newest Jayam Ravi movie Siren, aka Siren 108, at its core, is a really primary revenge drama that tries to look distinctive by doing a little restructuring. Directed by Antony Bhagyaraj, who beforehand co-wrote Viswasam, has truly made yet one more father-daughter story. However the way in which Antony has constructed intrigue within the narrative has a well-known nature, and with too many handy coincidences and unsurprising sentiments, Siren finally fails to create any type of impression.

Thilagan is a prisoner who has lastly determined to return out of jail, on parole, after 14 years, primarily to see his daughter. However since he was a homicide convict, his daughter refused to see him. After Thilagan got here out of jail, a number of murders occurred within the metropolis and the opportunity of Thilagan being round these locations whereas the murders occurred raised a suspicion within the thoughts of SI Nandhini. Her investigation to search out the hyperlink between the murders and Thilagan is what we see in Siren.

If you happen to take a look at the posters and promos, you’ll be able to see the hassle to position it as a twin between Nandhini and Thilagan. Truly, it had the scope to be that type of a tussle, as each characters had the identical line, “I didn’t kill anybody” on two completely different events within the movie. However Antony has no plans to develop the story in that zone. It is rather clear from an early stage that our hero has been wrongly accused within the homicide case. The script’s trajectory is such that because it strikes ahead, the story turns into flatter and melodramatic. The everyday Tamil film heroic exaggerations occur within the movie’s second half. Due to the familiarity and predictability, it fails to create the type of euphoria Antony Bhagyaraj could have imagined.

There’s a lot planning and coincidences within the film that’s unraveling within the second half. By the point Antony decides to unveil the hero on this revenge-seeking shade, the over-the-top nature of lots of the twists makes the film unexciting. The overdoing of many tracks is likely one of the the explanation why the thrill will get misplaced. Once we lastly know what exactly led to Thilagan’s conviction, the extent of drama staged by the daughter begins to really feel extra like an overreaction. Then you may have the Yogi Babu jokes on one aspect and the extraordinarily B and C middle “paasam” on one other aspect. A number of the backstories relating to Thilagan’s jail time period, together with the reason of how he realized sure techniques, sound a bit too weird. You may need an argument that it’s a Tamil movie, and also you don’t must verify for that a lot logic. However contemplating how the film began off, this determination to scale back it right into a normal revenge drama felt disappointing.

Along with his salt and pepper seems because the advanced Thilagan, Jayam Ravi manages to be convincing within the function. The extreme goodness within the character makes him return to his normal set of expressions often. Keerthy Suresh, as Nandhini, has a relentless smolder on her face. Yogi Babu performs the a part of the comedian reduction Velankanni in his typical fashion. Samuthirakkani, Azhagam Perumal, and Ajay, respectively, play the roles of the antagonists. Anupama Paramesawaran seems within the flashback parts of the film, and she or he doesn’t have any traces. Yuvina Parthavi has portrayed the function of the daughter of Thilagan.

I wasn’t a giant fan of Viswasam, which mainly used the emotional monitor between the daddy and daughter to cowl up its outlandish over-the-top components. On the subject of Siren, neither the emotional components nor the inconceivable stuff have the conviction to maneuver you on an emotional degree.
