Hindustan TimesThe Aranmanai franchise has worked for director Sundar C in the past and he is back with the fourth installment. Aranmanai 4 also follows a similar template that combines horror-comedy and moments of fun for the kids which brings in the family audience. The premise At the heart of Aranmanai 4 is a large house in the middle of a forest, a supernatural force, a ghost, numerous comic characters, several kids, a godman, pretty women, poojas, a song in honour of the Gods and Sundar C himself who comes to save the day. During Saravanan’s investigation he discovers a godman who seems to know more about this ghost and when the cops catch him, he reveals there’s another evil presence as well. Final thoughts Sundar C’s Aranmanai series is meant for the masses who just want to entertained without too much of logic – they want some jump scares, some funny dialogues and comical exchanges between the cast, some fights, some element of faith, a thumping song and the climax where the evil is vanquished and everyone’s a happy family once again.
