Good Review of Aran (Tamil version of Keerthichakra) http://sify.com/movies/tamil/review.php?id=14263976&ctid=5&cid=2429
Most army based films in India leaves one unmoved and cold, The nobility of purpose somehow never shines through, but Major Ravi directed Mohanlal-Jeeva starrer Aran is one from the heart
However, to give the film it’s due, Aran is watchable in parts. Former commando now writer-director Major Ravi and his cinematographer Thiru’s camera creeps into Kashmir valley to shoot insurgency prevailing there. Ravi gives a fairly accurate account of the ground situation in the valley. He also explains what goes through the mind of the members of a special elite commando group who are actually fighting terrorist who use hit and run strategy on soft targets like a group of school children.
Like Hollywood movies made on the US army and buddy-buddy friendship between an officer and his men, Aran is also about the male bonding between Major Mahadevan (Mohanlal) and Jaikumar (Jeeva).
