    Its all about the way of potrayal

    As we all know about one of the greatest combination ever. Dhanush n Vetrimaaran. A only director who never tasted the failure. Only because he is having always cult classic n raw action drama genre. This one joins the club too. Natural acting n narrow minded straight story in linear pattern, so its easy to get with the story line. Here the plus is acting n the screenplay. Gv prakash working with Vetrimaaran after Kaaka Muttai. While hearing audio when released I feel like something is missing. But as of now after watched the movie everything is there actually. Everything crafted well. #Asuran yet a normal story with a classic screenplay. I have always wonder how this man writing screenplay for his scripts. Wow!

    ASURAN - A Must Watch

    Expectation, Reputation, Pressure ... So What! Vetrimaaran delivers a masterpiece yet again with absolute ease and conviction. Cinematography, BGM, Screenplay & Stunts are top notch. Screen presence of Dhanush is breathtaking. A must watch.. Strictly for adults ( violence )

    Another master stroke from Genius Vetri Maaran

    Asuran is raw, brutal and packs a powerful yet satisfying punch. The characterization of all main actors were so remarkable that they would be stigmatized in my mind. Dhanush is so adept at exceeding his own previous performances. The genius of Vetri Maaran has yet again crafted an extraordinary cinematic treat. Please watch in a quality theater as the BGM is profound and impressive. Highly recommended!

    Clut classic thriller

    This combo always done a good movies so engaging to watch first half was too good and more engaging but second half was awful there is a lag in second half for more than 30 minutes of flashback gv praksh music and bgm score is pretty and intense and the stunts are very intense to watch overall a nice intense thriller with complete package dhanush creates a magic once again he is not hero in this movie he is a one of the actor in this movie

    Another Masterpiece from Vetrimaran

    #Asuran

    Raw film ! Action sequences are amazing !

    Asuran is a story of blood and flesh. The film has got bright chances to win a few National Awards.

    Dhanush has delivered a terrific performance and the interval scene is one among the best mass scenes an actor can get in this kind of a movie. He has literally lived as the character.

    Manju Warrier, comes up with power-packed emotions. Pasupathi, Naren, Ken, Teejay and other members of the cast have done complete justice to their respective roles, music score from G V is Too good. Cinematography is totally flawless
