Aadhi

"Aadhi," starring Pranav Mohanlal, is a gripping thriller that marks the debut of Mohanlal's son as a leading actor. The film navigates through the trials and tribulations of Aadhi, a young man whose life takes an unexpected turn when he becomes entangled in a web of deceit and danger.

One of the strengths of "Aadhi" lies in its tightly woven plot, which keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. The narrative is filled with twists and turns, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats as Aadhi navigates through various challenges to clear his name and seek justice.

Pranav Mohanlal delivers a commendable performance in his debut role, showcasing both emotional depth and intensity. His portrayal of Aadhi is convincing, and he displays a natural flair for action sequences, adding to the film's overall appeal.

Director Jeethu Joseph deserves praise for his skillful direction, effectively balancing suspense, drama, and action throughout the film. The cinematography and background score further enhance the viewing experience, creating a tense and immersive atmosphere.

However, "Aadhi" is not without its flaws. Some plot points may feel contrived, and certain character motivations could have been better developed. Additionally, while the film's climax is satisfying, it may not fully live up to the high expectations set by the rest of the story.

Overall, "Aadhi" is a promising debut for Pranav Mohanlal and a commendable addition to the thriller genre in Malayalam cinema. Despite its minor shortcomings, the film succeeds in delivering an engaging and entertaining experience for audiences.

Jeethu Joseph's latest feature Aadhi looks like a revised version of his 2016 revenge drama Oozham. The only difference is that the protagonist here is a parkour enthusiast and not an explosives expert. Debutante Pranav Mohanlal plays Aadhi, a young and aspiring music producer who gets embroiled in a mess following the death of an influential business magnate's son. How Aadhi spends his life after that being chased by the man's goons for the rest of the plot is what the film primarily talks about, where he also showcases his parkour skills and a sudden energy to solve the issue on his own. While director Joseph has used family threads and parents-son relationship as an element to attract his viewers, the plothole-ridden story never succeeds to keep them hooked. It's an exaggerated play that goes on and on, supported by a contrived narrative. Mohanlal's amateur and dull performance is the highlight of Aadhi, as he follows his director's cue like a frightened kindergarten child during a time of crisis. There is not a single interesting element that would make Aadhi a better rendition of Oozham, which is also a prime example of cinematic hyperbole. When even the talented Lena slips in her performance and Siddique made to look like a joker with his toupee, it is clear that Aadhi was a hurried attempt at launching the star child. There is no other reason why someone would make this film, which is one full hour of chase sequences and the remaining ninety minutes of mind-boggling claptrap. If you are someone who supports nepotism and consider yourself automatically a fan of your favorite actor, then Aadhi is something you can catch this weekend on DVD. TN.

This is just a desperate attempt to launch the superstar's son... I din't see anything special or extraordinary in this movie..... Pranav Mohanlal is just an average (may be below average) actor... He is lucky to be Shri Mohanlal's son...otherwise i dont think anyone would risk a high budget movie to launch Pranav.

The movie is a kind of thriller movie, I didn't get much thrill though. It can be taken as an attempt to introduce Pranav Mohanlal to movie. Pranav did a good job.

A great films. A great acting. So i am rating in10.
