A new village drama from Suriya’s production house and Malayalam actor Jayasura’s 100th film are the highlights on the platform this week
This week, September 24 on Prime, comes Raman Aandalum Ravanan Aandalum (RARA), which is the first title from Amazon Prime Video’s recently announced collaboration with 2D Entertainment. The film is a social satire themed around a village and its oddities offering a heady mix of humour and drama replete with human options. The story dwells on Kunnimuthu, a 35-year-old farmer and his wife Veerayi, who lose their bulls, Karuppan and Vellaiyan, who were almost like children to the couple. Out of despair, Kunnimuthu sets out in search for the missing cattle. What ensues is a quest with multiple twists and turns.

Directed by Arisil Moorthy, the film’s cast includes Ramya Pandian, Vani Bhojan, Mithun Manickam and Kodangi Vadivel Murugan, and is produced by Suriya and co-produced by Rajsekar Karpoorasundarapandian.
