Sivakarthikeyan's Amaran continues its victory march worldwide as the film has crossed over Rs 200 crore worldwide in ten days. The film earned Rs 42.3 crores on its opening day worldwide. The film has received appreciation from several celebrities across industries.
Sivakarthikeyan stars as Major Mukund Varadarajan in this biopic while Sai Pallavi plays his wife Indhu Rebecca Varghese. Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, Amaran tells the story of Mukund Varadarajan's life in the army and his brave stint in the 44th Rashtriya Rifles battalion in Jammu and Kashmir. The film also explores the relationship that Mukund and Indhu share.
Our CE review of the film reads, "Sivakarthikeyan will no doubt secure many plaudits for his physical transformation, for owning the action scenes and the motivational speeches… but I caught myself being especially impressed with how he seemed to radiate an effortless sense of goodness and vulnerability, despite his job requiring him to be an alpha male at all times. Watch him tear up as he pleads for a teammate’s life. Watch the joy in his eyes during his OTA ceremony, with Indhu smiling softly in the background in a beautifully composed shot. Watch him hug Indhu and daughter and walk away, but change his mind to return to steal another embrace from them both. These are powerful, heartfelt moments."
The film also stars Bhuvan Arora as Sepoy Vikram Singh and Rahul Bose as Mukund's Commanding Officer, Colonel Amit Singh Dabas. Lallu, Shreekumar, Shyam Mohan, Ajaey Naga Raaman, Mir Salman and Gaurav Venkatesh round up the supporting cast. Amaran is based on Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh's book India's Most Fearless: True Stories of Modern Millitary.
Amaran's crew includes music composer GV Prakash Kumar, cinematographer CH Sai, editor Kalaivanan, and stunt director Stefan Richter. The film is bankrolled by Kamal Haasan's Raaj Kamal Films International along with Sony Pictures International Productions.
