With Aaranya Kaandam, Tamil
cinema welcomed the so-far-non-existent genre
of neo-noir movies. Slickly directed and tautly
told, Aaranya Kaandam ushered in a new form
of film making – notably without songs
in its narrative. Not a single actor in the
movie missed out on performance – even
debutant Yasmin Ponnappa was brilliant in
her portrayal of a calculatingly coy girl.
