Storyline

Ariyanachi (Aishwarya Rajesh) in Ka Pae Ranasingam fights for her husband, Ranasingam (Vijay Sethupathi)'s dead body to be brought back from the Dubai, where he went for work. But to bring his body back, she needs to prove that she is his wife.

Ariyanachi has no legal document to prove that she is Ranasingam's wife, because theirs was a marriage arranged by their families and happened in extraordinary circumstances, in the presence of both the families. And even as she is shunted between various government departments, she learns that Ranasingam's death did not happen according to the official version given to her by the government. This complicates the issue further because now, getting the body back involves diplomacy at the highest levels of the government. Can this lone, determined woman get what is her right?

Review

Despite the length and the melodramatic treatment, Ka Pae Ranasingam has its heart in the right place and highlights several issues at once with memorable performances from Aishwarya Rajesh and Vijay Sethupathi.
3 / 5 ()
Well-meaning drama that is also quite overlong. Three hours, the film is an exhausting watch. Aishwarya Rajesh's forceful performance, which delicately balances Vulnerability and fiestiness.
3 / 5 M Suganth ()
A sketchy pay-per-view film. Ka Pae Ranasingam is a sharp commentary on the shortcomings of a functional democracy, can indeed be some experience. Director's writing (dialogues) is razor sharp in places.
Pradeep Kumar ()
The end note leaves your throat dry with a shock, but the length of the movie plays spoilsport; Director Virumandi takes up a completely new novel concept and explores the deep rooted problems around the society which is rarely looked upon.
3 / 5 ()
Aishwarya Rajesh shines in this biting political drama. Virumandi creates an engrossing ambience that gives you a sense of having lived through the struggles of Ramanathapuram natives.
3.5 / 5 Manoj Kumar ()
