The trailer of "Aarathu Sinam" had impressed the viewers and generated a lot of curiosity around the movie. Hence, there is a good buzz. Moreover, the original version was a big hit and the audience are hoping that the Kollywood film will also impress the audience.
"Aarathu Sinam" is a crime thriller, in which Arulnithi plays the role of a cop. He turns an alcoholic after his wife and daughter get killed. Years after the tragedy, the police department approaches him to crack a case of a serial killer. The story is all about how he nabs the culprit in his style.

While the first half lacks the required pace to hold the viewers' attention, the second half gives an edge-of-the-seat experience for the audience. "Aarathu Sinam" has impressed the cine-goers with its good story backed by brilliant performance of Arulnithi. But what has failed to work in the film is Robo Shankar's portions. Technically, cinematography department and Thaman's background score are top notch. Here, we bring to you the audience's response to the Tamil movie:
Common Man Sathish wrote: #‎AarathuSinam‬ Director Pandiraj - One of the best movies for Arulnithi in the likes of Mouna Guru & Demonte Colony
‪#‎AarathuSinam‬ - First ever production by successful Thenandal Films Murali Ramaswamy in 2016 & they have given their best ever movie in 2016.
‪#‎Aarathusinam‬ - Arulnithi has not tried to imitate Prithivraj, which most of the actors does in remake movies & hence, it looks natural and he had given his best ever performance.
#AarathuSinam 1st half @arulnithitamil had given his career best performance as drunkard. @aishu_dil impresses with limited screen presence
#AarathuSinam First half - Arulnithi had given his career best performance as drunkard. Aishwarya Rajesh, though...

Haricharan Pudipeddi posted: @MusicThaman's score a big plus for #AarathuSinam. Knows exactly how to accentuate the mood of the film with his work.
#AarathuSinam extremely well executed thriller that's really good post interval. @arulnithitamil shines once again in a tough role.
#AarathuSinam at interval. The tension soars gradually with intermittent humour. Set for a thrilling second half.
