Vishnu Vishal Stars in Murder Mystery That Murders Its Own Logic
Director Praveen K's 'Aaryan' starring Vishnu Vishal, Selvaraghavan and Shraddha Srinath, is a murder mystery. While the film has an interesting premise, it falters in its execution and skewed justification for serial killings.
A good murder mystery and investigation thriller depends solely on the stakes and the balance between hunter and hunted. The film is uplifted when the cop investigating the crime is shown to be equally brilliant as the killer he’s chasing. Vishnu Vishal’s ‘Aaryan’ is one such murder investigation thriller that relies on the brilliance of its characters. But the big question is, does it achieve this balance? Let’s find out!
Long, Flabby but Engaging
Opens with an ending and spends the rest of its runtime searching for meaning.
There are several ways in which Praveen K gets you to think — and then rethink — the de facto norms of a serial-killer thriller. At about the 20-minute mark in Aaryan, the film has already revealed everything we usually wait to be told in stories of this genre. Not only does the setup end with the film plainly telling us the identity of the serial killer, but it also concludes with this person being given the biggest punishment imaginable. With the whodunit element taken away, Aaryan gets the rare chance to focus on the reasons why a person decides to become a serial killer, and the unique modus operandi that has the entire force running from pillar to post.
