This movie is about a person who has a dream real estate project to be made - at the cost of destroying a gigantic forest, where thousands of animals live. Despite, the public opposing this - it doesn't make a difference because in India, every wrong doing is legal if you have strong political connections and that's where the film also shows that corruption still exists in India. Though, the main topic is 'The importance of wildlife' and why it shouldn't be harmed in the name of 'Development of country'. Overall, this film is a must 1 time watch for every Indian to understand that preserving the forest life is important because it gets too late in the future.

Coimbatore Elephant corridor, Tamil nadu , India .
The incidents revolve around the event happened there . Only difference - The movie ending on positive note , while in reality they didn't care and constructed the site in name of God , only God knows what happened to those elephants .
-1 star shouldn't have used real elephans domesticating elephats is wrong ,

Worth watching to see a different perspective

We only see what our media shows us about the tribals,naxals and animals .we don't know the perspective of other side so if you are an open minded person who likes to see a different perspective watch it you won't regret .
People giving one star rating seem to be illogical and frustated souls.

It shows you many sides and perspectives of our society and animals and also throws an perspective of naxals and tribals .we only see what our media shows us but we don't know many things what our media doesn't show so if you want to see a different perspective about the world definitely watch it and you won't regret .
Deviating account, corporate genre more than family.

Story: An intense jungle, a project passed to build a new township. Will the project be realized or the man behind the jungle and Maoists will help in keeping it conserved.
Cinematography: Good. The jungle and associated scenes like greenery, birds, tiger, animal's, villagers, etc amuse you.
Direction: Justified. With what the storyline is (it's serious). A respectable result is obtained.
Acting (& music): For a movie from south I think, I liked the acting even watching even for the Hindi counterpart. Music was average.
Final Verdict: The Hindi title is Haathi Mere Saathi. When I first heard of it I was excited for I was looking for some top of the world, non-realistic friendship. I was looking for some really engaging entertainment.
It's not so.
What you will find here first step of a process in conversion of a jungle land and will it be in whose favor (care-takers of jungle or the ones who want to build an overall hampering township).

RANA'S ONE MAN SHOW 🙌, A VISUAL TREAT WHICH MUST BE EXPERIENCED BY EVERYONE 😍

Aranya.. What a great flick by Prabhu Solomon featuring Rana Daggubati as Narendra Bhupathi
Rana totally nailed the role, truly marvellous 👏
Rana's characterisation >>> ALL his previous films 🙌
"OKKA CHUKKA NEERU💧 KOSAM MANUSHULU OKKALANI OKKALU CHAMPUKUNE ROJU RAABOTHUNDHI" 💯
That impact created by this one dialogue was well maintained until the end ✊
Completely different genre film with never before concept in TFI 👍
A must watch film just for those eye pleasing visuals and soulful music throughout the movie 😍
And what a fantastic job by DOP at capturing those emotions of elephants and carrying them all across the film .. Flawless cinematography 👌
Execution was quite good but a bit weak at narration, falls flat after first 30min because of the poor screenplay 👎
Message is definitely conveyed in the climax but plot wasn't set properly
Still it is the much wanted film for this current generation..
Highly recommended for everyone 💯
All the other 9user reviews here are by one person...possibly by the director

This film is a total mess. It feels like a bunch of scenes put together haphazardly at the editing table. The only saving grace of the film is Rana. VFX is also below par and they shouldn't have used real elephants in this film. Every "domesticated" elephants goes through a 'breaking' phase when they are young to break their will. This is often done by tying their legs together until they give complete submission to the mahout. The fact that this film uses trained elephants is an irony in itself.
Great

GREAT BUT NOT GREAT

Sadly, this was pathetic

One thing ruined this movie, the overacting. Sadly, the most genuine acting on display was from the elephants themselves. There was a potentially good movie that could have been crafted from the storyline, however Rana Daggubati was more 'Bandar' than Bandev, jumping on furniture like a crazy monkey, moving his head around in an exaggerated impression of an inquisitive owl. The role of Shankar was also way over-the-top, a South Indian Pied Piper of Elephants, he spent most of the film drunk in love with a terrorist who would rather he was dead.... it was highly unlikely it would ever happen, and became even less likely after she was murdered by a policeman of all people..... yes, strange things happen in the forest. I was looking forward to this movie but left feeling very underwhelmed.

An confused amalgam of north and south with a good heart

Don't watch this movie for its dramatization or special effects, but for its pure intentions. A good movie with a strong message. It is a long movie which will require your patience but in the end you will have a good feeling.
Pathetic and such a torture
