Aranmanai 4 made its theatrical debut today, May 3, alongside its Telugu version Baak. The film starring Tamannaah Bhatia, Sundar C and Raashii Khanna is a horror-comedy and the fourth installment in the Aranmanai franchise. Ahead of the film’s release, director Sundar C, who also plays the leading role, had shared his opinion about this film. He told The Hindu, “It’s a package; if you take Aranmanai, it’s not just horror and humour. There is emotional bonding, nice visuals, an ensemble cast and divine intervention at the end. I like how all the films in the franchise — negating the flashback sequence — unravel within three to four days, with the climax happening in just a day.” Aranmanai 4: Tamannaah Bhatia Shares BTS Pics From Film's Set, Calls It 'Challenging' Yet 'Fun' Experience.

However, Aranmanai 4 has opened to mixed response from the critics. Some have labelled this film as ‘mildly entertaining’ and ‘commercial entertainer’, while a few others called it as ‘tedious’. Let’s take a look at some of the reviews shared by critics on this newly released film.

Watch The Trailer Of The Film Below:

Times of India – On the whole, Aranmanai 4 does what it intends to do — overwhelming us with kitsch and underwhelming us with its lack of imagination and originality, in utterly predictable, instantly forgettable and mildly entertaining fashion.

India Today – The first half of 'Aranmanai 4' is tedious to sit through as neither the horror nor the comedy work.  'Aranmanai 4' takes its sweet time to get into the story, and it's a problem. By the time we are invested, we're already rolling our eyes at the ridiculousness unfolding on screen.

Hindustan Times – Aranmanai 4 is timepass and if you go in with no expectations, you will not come out raving about the film but you won’t come out bitterly disappointed either.

Times Now – Aranmanai 4 is a good commercial entertainer that can be enjoyed with the whole family. To cut a long story short, this film is a good one- time watch.
