Siren is a crime thriller movie starring Jayam Ravi and Keerthy Suresh, directed by Antony Bhagyaraj. It is about a man who is released on parole after being accused of killing his wife, and becomes the prime suspect in a series of murders. The movie has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, who have praised the performances of the lead actors, but criticized the screenplay, direction, and music. Some of the common complaints are that the movie is too loud, dull, melodramatic, and predictable. Here are some excerpts from the reviews:
- "The film attempts to address several themes, such as caste issues, the revenge of a husband, and the bond between father and daughter, among others. However, it ultimately comes across as a disorganised mess, lacking coherence."
- "Siren works only as long as it is about Thilakan, his killing spree, his tricks, modus operandi, and etc, with police officer Nandini (Keerthy Suresh) on his trail. On the other hand, whenever Siren tries to be the quintessential emotional drama about Thilakan and his estranged teen daughter, the film is a bundle of clichés."
- "The tension is built in a steady manner before Thilakan’s past is unravelled in the latter half of the film. The unravelling is where the film falls flat."
Siren seems to be a decent thriller that is dragged down by its poor execution and outdated treatment. It might appeal to fans of Jayam Ravi and Keerthy Suresh, but not to those who are looking for a gripping and original story.
