A recent addition to Netflix, Adios Amigo made its way in without much noise, sliding in and out of theaters just as quietly. With strong performers featured on the poster, this was one to watch.
A quirky, rich guy with a heart of gold meets a man struggling to make ends meet. How they develop a bond over a few days forms the crux of the story.
The movie starts on an interesting note, with the characters being well-established. The plot is simple but gets dragged out. It could have easily been trimmed by 30 minutes to make a stronger impact.
Asif Ali's portrayal of a big-hearted, naïve drunkard is unique, and he plays the role with perfection. This character could have easily become cringeworthy, but he makes it endearing and entertaining. Suraj Venjaramoodu, with his poised stance, makes you root for him. Their chemistry works in the movie's favor. Anagha, though in a small role, proves her potential.
The songs add to the runtime and could have been cut. The comedy falls flat at multiple points, and the logic takes a backseat, but given the comedic nature of the film, this can be overlooked. The climax will surely touch your heart.
With crisper writing and tighter screenplay, the movie had the potential to get viewers more invested, but sadly, it turned out to be an average affair. Watch it if you're in the mood for something light and don't have anything solid to watch.

2 hours 36mins? Really.. The movie was enjoyable and the story is good enough.. but the length was too much.. Many unwanted and repetitive scenes.. Unfortunately most of the jokes didn't work out for me .
But i didn't feel regret watching this movie.. i felt good in the end.. Should've been 1 hour 45 minutes.. Liked the performance of suraj and asif, but asifs acting as a drunkard felt a bit off in the beginning, but later on it got better.. One unnecessary song was in the middle.. Hema's character felt unnecessary.. Anyway , i liked the movie.. maybe i am also in need of a rich friend like him to settle my debts..

Adios Amigo
A light fun to watch feel good entertainer with many hilarious and humane moments.
The plot of the movie is about two strangers from varied life circumstances accidentally crosses each other and the interesting bond they develops and funny situations that happens along their road travel forms the storyline.
Aji Peter Thankam after 'Kettyolanu Ende Malakha' has penned a loud and carefree characterisation for Asif Ali in the movie and he has appropriately portrayed the character through his mannerisms without losing the accent of North Paravoor guy.
Suraj has played the real life character of the writer Thankam in the story and has portrayed the character of a family centric guy from Idukki.
Nahas Nazar has portrayed many emotional and empathetic moments through the movie and the value of relationships and the role of wealth in defining a relationship. Thankam through his writing has again hooked the emotional and relationship stigma in the mind of the viewers.
A decent debut directorial by Nahas Nazar with a soft ending & good BGM's by Jakes Bejoy.
Rating - 3.25/5.

Adios Amigo (2024) starts on a fun note, making its direction clear early on. However, by the second half, it becomes evident that the writer loses grip on the narrative, and the director struggles to steer it effectively. Suraj delivered his role with precision, and his character's development supported his performance. Asif Ali put in effort but was let down by a half-baked character. While the film had a strong framework, the lack of well-rounded writing prevented it from becoming the feel-good travel movie it aimed to be.
One lingering question: why didn't the character use his Federal Bank debit card to withdraw cash? This plot hole feels like an odd oversight.

Adios Amigos delivers a heartfelt blend of humor, camaraderie, and emotion, making it an engaging watch for fans of feel-good cinema. The film focuses on the journey of three friends embarking on an adventurous trip, filled with moments of laughter, challenges, and self-discovery.
The screenplay strikes a balance between lighthearted moments and emotional depth, though it occasionally feels stretched. The performances of the lead actors are commendable, as they bring authenticity to their roles and effectively capture the essence of true friendship. The supporting cast also contributes significantly, adding layers to the narrative.
The cinematography is a highlight, beautifully capturing the scenic backdrops of their journey. The music complements the tone of the film, enhancing its emotional appeal. However, the pacing could have been tighter, especially in the second half, where certain sequences feel predictable and slightly repetitive.
Despite its minor flaws, Adios Amigos is a relatable and heartwarming film that emphasizes the importance of cherishing relationships and living in the moment. It's a movie worth watching, especially if you're looking for a story that celebrates friendship and life.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely, though it might resonate more with those who enjoy character-driven narratives with an emotional core.

Adios Amigo (2024) - When Life meets Luxury. An Asif Ali movie, with out ' Asif Ali '. What an experience, what a ride.
Prince and Boss, the Rich Guy and the Poor Man, the two strangers went on for a journey, pure LIFE. Movie started as promising but after second half it shows the weak writings, especially Asif's character backstory didn't get a full fledged payoff. Many artists have done cameo portions in the movie, especially in voice over phone calls. It could have been a great movie if the makers had given more time to polish the second half.
And on top of that, it's a Badly edited movie, but still, a feel good Asif Ali film. Another Asif Ali Masterpiece 6/10.

Watching the movie Adios Amigos was like being stuck in long traffic. The only feeling was to get out very soon. The genre is comedy drama but there was hardly any laughs. Suraj venjaramoodu plays as an irresponsible person and has performed well. The cinematography and the background score was good .But the weak screenplay and direction has sunk the movie .Asif ali plays an irritating rich character with drunk philosophical words and has succeeded in irritating the audience. He has made the word 'Boss' irritating. He portrays a very rich character who doesn't have an ATM card. The movie was too long and slow. Most of the first half was not required, just like the rest of the movie. Overall it is a very boring movie.

The two-and-a-half-hour runtime of this movie felt excessively long, as it stretched out a single plot without introducing any other exciting scenarios. Several unnecessary scenes inside the bus during the first half could have easily been trimmed. The first half was little too lengthy which made me bored even before the first half.
The performances of the asif and suraj were engaging, but the excessive duration and repetition made it frustrating. Some of the humor landed well, while most of them fell flat. They might thought that, "Bosse" will be new trending thing but I feel irritated when I hear that now. Overall, it was a below-average experience and didn't work for me as well.

I really don't know why people are rating very low to this movie. The movie plot with a common man and a rich person feelings and how the money really matters for both in situations. I love the way suraj tries to switch his acting when he stands in front of mirror at the hotel posing like a rich. The way he acted when all turned their backs, he stayed in his role-unchanged, unfazed, with the truth carved deep: money speaks, and the poor must bite their tongues.
Asif acting was top notch. Feels like am the only one thinks paradeesa song suits to this movie very well. I suggest this movie to different zone movie likers and everyone liked it. Don't go with the review. Worth watching.

Just when I thought there couldn't possibly be a "substandard" Malayalam movie, along comes #AdiosAmigo. Despite the presence of capable actors like Suraj Venjaramoodu and Asif Ali, this is a futile movie. What is the narrative exactly about? After meeting at a bus stop, two men decide to travel together. Since they don't have a set destination, they go to different places and spend time together. The disparities between the affluent and the poor are amply displayed in the movie. There are some wealthy individuals who believe that having money is irrelevant if it cannot be used to assist the underprivileged. There are some poor people who desperately need money to clear their medical bills but are unable to procure funds for the same. Performances are good. Running time needs to be reduced by 25 minutes. Rating 1.5/5.
Two strangers meet at a bus station. One is obviously rich and has enough money to spend randomly, has no hesitancy in invading other people's space for his own happiness. The other one is the poor guy whose mother is hospitalized and is struggling to arrange money required for her treatment. The two meet and embark on a unplanned journey, as the poor guy hopes to get the rich guy to help him out with the money he needs. Instead they bond over and learn about each other's lives while life teaches them a lesson which one is eager to learn while the other has no other choice but to learn.
Asif Ali and Suraj Venjaramoodu are aptly cast in the role of the rich Prince and the poor Sathyapriyan, whose names are revealed only in the climax. I understood what the writer and director intended to make with these two characters, from different backgrounds and even more different look at life altogether. But the writing leaves a lot to be desired as Asif Ali tries to bring his character to life, there is no credible moment to accept why others would tolerate this stranger. There was scope to explore, a well off man with his family caring for him and he still feels lonely but the scenes don't really get fleshed out to back the character arc. The more we learn about his family, I felt lesser connected to his predicament with his biggest regret was about his ex-girlfriend.
On the other hand, the more relatable character was the one played by Suraj and here is a guy who has completely accepted his fate, doesn't even try to fight it. There is guilt and helplessness in him while he feels rightfully shy to take advantage of his new friend. He understands Prince better than Prince understands Sathyapriyan. He not just accompanies him till the end but stays as his true friend, taking care of him. Rich no matter how much they wander will eventually find their destination while the poor are left stranded to wander line is elevated by Suraj's character. With better writing, Adios Amigo could have been a memorable feel good cinema but ends up way too short of it.

This movie deserves more appreciation as the plot itself gives a lot if emotional feel good moments. Climax seen literally made my eye wet. No objections as this move is a feel good drama for move lovers. The characters played in this move depicted the max performance that we will the same emotion throughout the move seen by seen. It is really difficult to find such realistic characters in real life, but at the end of the move we feel that, there is someone like this around us somewhere looking for daily need and find happiness within it. Overall this move is a perfect feel good move for a classic move lover.

What a pathetic drag , kept hoping it can't be bad and that it will get better what with Asif Ali and Suraj as the leads , but hell no! Another proof that cast does not matter if the director and story is no good. You will keep hearing ad nauseoum 'Boss boss' throughout and so cringe with no touch of realism. Shine Tom plays a cameo and true to his reputation - that part was good. Miserable fail and a torture to the audience who would feel cheated out of 2.5 hours of their life. Netflix probably helped them recoup some money and gave them a way out of financial loss but as far as audience - a big thumbs down.

A very lame movie. The movie doesn't have any elevation for whole two and half hours. It's like a deadmans vital signs you see in the patient's monitor at the hospital. The only time may be two little spike happened was when Shine tom chacko counter comments like "Bossinte Shaddi" and "Kudachadri".
Suraj is ok but nothing much for him to do other than do kootukara calls, booze and frequent melodramas Asif plays a spoiled rich and his "Boss" calls and Suraj's "Kootukara" are in line to "Shiva" calls in Brahmastra. One word "Irritating"
It was told Suraj's mother is in critical care but neither much remorse shown by suraj nor there is such seriousness conveyed by her sister during their phone conversations.
Climax is cliche.
