Dhanush, in this revenge narrative, displays his directorial talent, coupled with a gripping screenplay. An outstanding aspect of Raayan is the captivating background score composed by AR Rahman, which has garnered significant attention, adding emotional depth to the film. Key performances by actors SJ Suryah, Sundeep Kishan, and Kalidas Jayaram are commendable, with Dhanush skillfully ensuring each character is well-developed and engaging.
Due to its strong action sequences, Raayan has been granted an 'A' rating by the CBFC. The filmmakers opted for an uncut version of the film to fully represent Dhanush's artistic vision. With strong advance ticket sales, Raayan is expected to achieve considerable success, potentially becoming Dhanush's highest-grossing film upon its opening day.
