We get the jump scares and we get some comedy (though, the film is never as funny as the first film). The film does what it intends to do, more or less. And so, we have here, in addition to the two star comedians, three ghosts instead of one, grand-looking sets and an over-the-top climax that rivals that of the Kanchana franchise. Given that this is the third film in the franchise, Sundar C seems to have felt that more the merrier. Even as the zamindar's son-in-law (Sundar C) tries to find out the reasons behind the ghost targeting his family, it possesses Saravanan (Arya), Jyothi vs love interest, who has come to the palace on the pretext of repair work.

Here, the plot involves Eswari (Andrea Jeremiah), who has been wronged by Zamindar Rajashekar (Sampath), and returns with a vengeance as a ghost to take revenge on him and his daughter Jyothi (Raashi Khanna). And now, it is, of course, Yogi Babu! And as a bonus, this time, we also have Vivekh, whose career had just begun to gain a second wind before his unfortunate demise. By 2016, he had moved on to become a hero, so it was Soori. We have a Palace, a ghost that haunts it, a bunch of eccentric characters (and there will always be a kid who will be the first one to spot the spirit), good-looking female leads, boyish-looking, barely functional male leads, Sundar C as the masculine saviour, godmen, overblown mysticism (with a saami paattu in the climax), tacky visual effects, a fun song with comic catchphrases and of course, the comedian who is the flavour of the season. This latest installment follows the template set by the first film just as faithfully as a ghost haunting its victim. Given that these movies are more or less critic-proof - they are just about scary-enough and funny for kids, and offer momentary diversion for the adults, so what's there to complain? - Sundar C's decision only seems smart. Now, Aranmanai 3 comes right after the debacles that were Vandha Rajavathaan Varuven and Action. After the first Aranmanai, he had the much-trolled Aambala.

These films are turning out to be a refuge for the director, projects that he can take up whenever his other films don't do well, and help him get his box-office mojo back.
