Ajagajantharam

This was very much in the vein of Jallikattu om terms of the style of storytelling.

Not much of a plot and it wasn't as interesting as some of the other movies in this genre.

The characters were okay but I found my interest waning in between.

Overall, a slightly above average movie.

This is the first time, i am watching like this movie which doesnt have any good thing in it. As a movie, it needs some story otherwise any good moments, but nothing is there. Simply quarrelling people without any character development. I am very disappointed about the crew who are taking such a shameful movie like this without anything good to offer.

Bottomline - Simply a complete waste of valuable 2 hours!!!

Ajagajantharam is overated for me. Lack of script is the main draw back of this movie. Stunts and music department is par excellence. Otherwise it was a average flick for me.

Think of a boring party. There are no jokes. Nobody is getting along. Not that there aren't some real characters. But it's not working. Could be because there are too many rowdy characters and nobody really gets his say. Everyone puts on a show of getting along and having fun.

So the person who threw the party plays some really loud music. Also brings in an elephant. Some of the characters throw in some spicy jokes. It works for a while. Jeez! This might actually work out thinks the party giver.

But then things begin to fizzle out again. And then the utmost boredom kicks in. Party giver brings in some bombs. They throw some bombs at each other and it looks beautiful but then smoke sets in and nobody knows what's going on. All the noise and lights and smoke still cannot hide the dullness of the evening. Everyone just gives up and goes home.

The movie I was eagerly waiting to see right from the date of announcement just because of one name and that is Tinu Pappachan.

In one word this 2 hour movie will give the effect of seeing a local temple festival and a local gang fight happening there, and there is nothing more or less in this movie, no big story and just like every local fights happening during a temple festival there is no big reason for the fight to start.

Ambi (Kichu Tellus) and Laali (Antony Varghese) is coming for a temple festival with their Elephant Neysseri Parthan (Nadakkal Unnikrishnan) and during the festival they are having a clash with local gang of Kannan (Arjun Ashokan) this is the outline of the movie.

Totally this is not a great movie, but this is really a good entertainer.

Positives

+Direction (Great effort of creating a perfect festival mood) +Music & BG Score (The backbone of the movie) +DOP (Even though it was good there was some confusion during fight scenes) +Fights (Heard the fight scenes alone took 45 days of filming) +Comedies +All actors (Everyone did well especially those who had fight scenes) +The elephant <3 (Another backbone) +Editing (Fight scenes were perfectly edited)

Negatives

-Dont look for logic -Lagging in second half -Anil Nedumangad's character wasn't having finishing -Climax was felt as a sudden end.

Verdict: Must watch in a house full theatre with friends. Not recommended for family or art film lovers.

Rating: 7.5/10.
