Raayan Review: Dhanush’s Monumental 50th Film Delivers a Blockbuster

 Raayan made its global debut on July 26 after initially being scheduled for release on June 13. July 28 is Dhanush's 41st birthday, and this movie is the 50th milestone in his storied career.

This much anticipated Tamil action-thriller, which was also released in Telugu and Hindi, was directed by none other than Dhanush. Early social media reactions to the film are gushing, with people complimenting Dhanush on his dual position as director and actor.

Viewer Reactions to Raayan

Despite being a typical retribution tale, director Dhanush has achieved greatness in both his writing and directing. Peak theatrical moments include the interval block, a few passages in the second half, and the climax song, according to one ardent audience member.

"Dhanush underplayed his role and let others take the stage," said a second person. He can find subtle mass scenes available. Dhanush has a remarkable screen presence, and the interval block graphics are amazing."

"A monster of a film delivered by Dhanush, ARR, Om Prakash, and Sun Pictures, packed with top-notch performances from all actors," a different fan wrote.

"RAAYAN IS TOTALLY WORTH WATCHING IN THEATERS! Another user praised Dhanush for "nailing it in his 50th film as both actor and director, making it a guaranteed blockbuster."

Raayan Advance Booking Success

Sacnilk claims that Raayan made ₹6.15 crore by selling an amazing 4,36,704 seats in advance. With these receipts, the film is on track to beat Dhanush's all-time best first-day collecting record of ₹10.40 crore, which is currently held by Karnan.

According to Koimoi, Indian 2 is the highest grossing Tamil film opener in 2024 with ₹26 crore, ahead of Captain Miller with ₹8.80 crore. Raayan has a good chance of finishing second even though it might not be able to top Kamal Haasan's Indian 2. Dhanush's last release, Captain Miller, is also a strong contender. According to media reports, Raayan was made on a ₹100 crore budget.

Raayan's Gripping Storyline

Raayan revolves around a modest young guy who sets out to find the people responsible for his family's murder and get revenge. His journey takes him into the shadowy realm of organized crime, telling an engrossing and poignant story.

Raayan's outstanding advance bookings, compelling plot, and Dhanush's skillful directing promise that it would be a huge hit. Make sure you see this gem of film in cinemas!
