Aadhi Bhagavan

I went to the cinema hall expecting a total badass gangsta flick,did i get what i wanted?yeah, to some extent.Ameer who has previously made movies like Ram and Paruthiveeran experiments with a full blown commercial flick.

Aadhi Shanmugam is a gangster based in Bangkok,he earns the wrath of Rao brothers of Andhra Pradesh after he steals their stash posing as a CBI officer.Gradually he falls out with his boss Mr.Shyam , and everyone including his former boss and Rao brothers want him dead.Meanwhile he falls for a waitress and follows her to Mumbai.What happens next is the interesting part of the story.

This movie is by far the best movie of jayam ravi,he convincingly pulls of both the roles of aadhi and bhagavan.Neetu chandra has acted well too.There appears to be a few open ends but maybe the director has plans for a sequel.

Aadhi Bhagavan: The film we've all been expecting from director Ameer and actor "Jeyam" Ravi. Many people had high hopes for it to be trend- setter. About the film, the storyline is different and amazing, yet not for everyone. The first half blends the artistic portrayal of a high class gangsters' lifestyle. It somehow makes you experience the similar experience while watching "The Godfather" due to the similar portrayal of a mafia family. The tone of the film in the first half makes you feel like this is going to be another masterpiece like "Nayakan". The BGM is also amazing , kudos to Mr. Yuvan Shankar Raja. The second half on the other hand, takes us to a whole new level, and that's where the real brilliance begins. Director Ameer really deserves a standing ovation for making gangster films in a total different manner. His way of contrasting two characters was flawless, and that was heavily possible due to Mr. Ravi's acting skills and expressions. In the beginning, even I sighed as I thought this was going to be another cliché where double acting is concerned. I was proved wrong as this film was wonderful and can only be enjoyed by A class audiences. For people who're expecting a commercial film, please head to the "Alex Pandian" group of audiences. As for the film being a trend-setter, I'd say it definitely succeeds.

Direction: 8/10

Acting: 8/10

Music: 7.5/10

Overall: 8.2/10 (74%)

Seriously Tamil film directors have gone nuts especially the reputed ones.Aadhibagavan fails at many places.

Story is run of the mill and Screenplay fails big time.

Editing irritates mostly at the Fight scenes.Dubbing also is very poor.

Music and BGM fail to impress.2nd half is very dragging and full of loopholes.Climax is pathetic.

The movie is a rehash of Billa-2007 and Scarface at many places.

Aadhibagavan will definitely sink at the box office and drift away from the viewer's mind.

Avoid this movie if you value your time and money.

If the makers of "Aadhi Bhagavan" were under the impression that controversies work in favor of a movie esp after Vishwaroopam Fiasco,they are in for a disappointment .There were plenty of empty seats in the theater even after the controversy surrounding the movie.

Now on to the movie.I don't believe that the movie deserves a really big post cause the movie ain't worth it.So i will try and keep the review as short as possible.

Now first to the plot of the movie.The plot isn't something really novel.It is a tale of Aadhi and Bhagavan, both played by Jayam Ravi.Aadhi, a gangster in Bangkok, lives a luxurious life who falls in love with Rani(played by Neetu Chandra) while Bhagavan is a local thug in Mumbai.How destiny brings them together forms the crux of the rest of the story.
