Movie Review : Battle

 Battle is a story revolving around a young man Mani ( Arjun Prabhakaran) who finds that his talent lies as a rapper. But the path to success is not easy.






In the meanwhile he falls in love with an upright, young lady,  Mathi ( Aradya) a school teacher. 

However, tragedy befalls their love due to a School chairman Krishna ( Subramaniam Siva) who is caught preying on young students by Mathi.

Do the young lovers manage to bring the villain to justice?

The film moves from the struggle of Mani to the plight of students and tries to cover both issues, trying to impart a message on a social cause. 

The production values are decent, and the actors add to the film by solidcperformances. Subramania Siva is a solid pillar, his villainous acts and expressions are chilling. The scene where he beats up the heroine however, could have been avoided, as it seems too much to watch. 

Arjun does a neat act as the rapper and gets into the skin of his character superbly. Aradya not only lights up the screen but also delivers a terrific performance and is a huge asset to the film. 

The supporting cast are well chosen. The songs look good on screen and the rap numbers stand out.  

However, the film does tend to get melodramatic at times.

However, the makers have chosen to highlight serious issues faced by kids and parents and firc that they deserve kudos.
