Sivakarthikeyan portrays Mukund, while Sai Pallavi plays his wife Indhu Rebecca Varghese.
The movie has receieved positive reviews from audiences and critics for its engaging screenplay, brilliant direction, and superlative performances. These reviews have resulted into massive box office figures as well. In its first five days, Amaran collected Rs 93.25 crore net in India and Rs 155 crore gross worldwide. As per the early estimates, it added Rs 8.75 crore to its domestic net collections on its sixth day.
This means that the Sivakarthikeyan-starrer has entered the Rs 100-crore club and has also gone past Dhanush's Raayan (Rs 155 crore) to become the third-highest grossing Tamil film of 2024 behind Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan (Rs 255 crore) and Thalapathy Vijay's The Greatest of All Time (Rs 457 crore). All box office collections are taken from Sacnilk.
Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and produced by Kamal Haasan's Raaj Kamal Films International, Amaran also stars Bhuvan Arora, Rahul Bose, Shreekumar, and Shyam Mohan in pivotal roles. The film is adapted from a segment based on Major Mukund's life from the book series India's Most Fearless: True Stories of Modern Military Heroes by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh.
