Arthanari (2016) dives deep into the murky waters of crime with a gritty realism that’s hard to shake off. The film follows a determined cop and her lover, which adds a personal stake to the harrowing investigation of a ruthless kingpin. There's a palpable tension throughout, and the pacing keeps you on edge, expertly balancing action with moments of introspection. The themes of exploitation, particularly of vulnerable children, are hauntingly relevant. The performances are raw and compelling, drawing you into their world. What’s interesting here is the practical effects; they lend an authenticity that CGI often misses. It’s a film that feels both urgent and reflective, capturing the chaos of crime while also making you think about the human cost involved.
