Aaranya Kaandam is a Tamil motion picture that is linked to the genre of drama and strikes the theaters on January 21. It is a fairly lengthy movie, which lasts for nearly 2 hours and consists of, as its principal characters, Ravi Krishna, Sampath Raj, Yasmin Ponnappa, Somasundaram, and the erstwhile superstar of the Hindi film industry, Jackie Shroff. This is Jackie Shroffs primary Tamil movie and he was in the 1980s and early 1990s, a powerful and coveted actor in the Hindi film world
Aaranya Kaandam, which has been granted the U certificate, is, essentially, a movie that concentrates on gangsters. The tale of the film comes to pass in a day and follows from the solitary significant moment in the existence of the six protagonists. The movie is related to the primitive nature of mankind and the characteristics of the characters, which wipe out the frontiers partitioning mankind from beastliness. The film is quite absorbing.
The directorship of this film was in the hands of the newcomer, Thiagarajan Kumararaja, who has performed his task pretty competently. The producer of the movie is SPB Charan. The music of the movie has been composed rather effectively by Yuvan Shankar Raja. The editorship of the film has been executed commendably by Srikanth N.B. and Praveen K.L. The cinematographic department was headed by P.S. Vinod, who has perpetrated an average performance. Vinod had earlier been the cinematographer of Hindi films such as Musafir and My Wifes Murder.
Aaranya Kaandam had been initiated in December 2008, with Aaranya Kaandam debuting in October 2010 at the South Asian International Film Festival (SAIFF). There, Aaranya Kaandam conquered the Grand Jury honor for the Best Film.
