Rudhran

Rudhran is a 2023 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film film, produced and directed by S. Kathiresan from a script by K. P. Thirumaaran. The film, which marks S. Kathiresan's directorial debut, stars Raghava Lawrence and R. Sarathkumar, alongside Priya Bhavani Shankar, Nassar, Poornima Bhagyaraj, Kaali Venkat, Ilavarasu, Redin Kingsley and Sharath Lohitashwa. The score was composed by Sam C. S., while the soundtrack was composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar, Dharan Kumar and OfRo. Rudhran was released theatrically on 14 April 2023, coinciding with Puthandu, to mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, with criticism directed towards the screenplay, writing, and fight sequences, but the social message, music and Lawrence's performance were praised. The film became a box office bomb.
