Our Review of Elumale
Elumale is straight fire it’s like a real life chase mixed with heartfelt romance that keeps you on the edge. Raanna plays this cab driver Harisha who picks up Revathi (Priyanka Achar) near the border, and boom, they’re in this conspiracy mess with cops and goons. Set in 2004 MM Hills, it nails that tense vibe with bilingual dialogues feeling natural. Punit Rangaswamy’s debut direction is solid, no drags, and D Imman’s music amps up the thrill. If you dig stories based on true events with twists, this one’s a weekend binge.
What Worked
- Tight screenplay – no boring moments, keeps the suspense rolling.
- Raanna and Priyanka’s chemistry – feels raw and real, especially in the border chaos.

What Didn’t Work
- Some side characters feel underused, could have added more depth.
- Pacing in the first 20 mins is a tad slow before the thriller kicks in.
- Ending might feel predictable if you’re a thriller junkie.
