Aadhi

The film has thrilling PARKOUR stunt (first time in malayalam) sequences which is performed by young actor without dupe. PARANAV MOHANLAL proved that he is an multi-talented champ who is a good GUITARIST,SINGER,STUNT GURU,LYRICIST through the first film itself. Acting is excellent except in some family emotion scenes. 'GYPSY WOMEN' song in the film is written and sung by PARANAV. The plot of the film is not new. But the way of story narration is completely different. PRANAV'S success as an singer,lyricist and guitarist is proved by youtube trending of his song. The actor also managed to grab a bunch of housefull shows through his acting and stunt performance. Considering it as an DEBUT film of a young actor he has done best of him and is far better than recent Debuts of actors like Dulquer,Nivin,Asif. Watching the film without hyped anticipation won't disappoint you. Rating(9/10){CONSIDERING AS A DEBUT FILM}.

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

Indeed an amazing movie.. shot well and directed... the main characters did well. I loved Pranav's moves and humble acting... its a good start for him and i wish he continues to do movies of this level and not the rubbish that we see these days,,,,

about the movie... most of the reviews are already here.... i did not find a lag and nothing was dragging... fantastically taken and made!! congratulations !

This movie will be enjoyed by those that enjoy action and more realistic fight scenes where bad guys don't go flying in every direction known to man with just a flick of the hero's fingers. The character has to put in a little more effort and actually gets gut-punched right back more than a couple of times. The parkour and running were brilliant and i remember leaving the theater feeling really badass wanting to kick a few people. That's how i realized despite the few glaring errors, i enjoyed the movie.

In terms of acting, Pranav Mohanlal seemed to take an ascending slope. It is a blessing the film didn't call for any real dramatic interpretation and acting. There weren't many dialogues to deliver nor too many emotional scenes to depict. Despite starting a little rocky (felt the first couple of scenes were slightly awkward but maybe that was because of the slight lag i felt between the dubbing and acting), Pranav seemed to adjust to the film better in the second half. He seemed the most comfortable doing the parkour bits. When he didn't have to face another person, bite out a couple of pre-planned dialogues, only run around and do his own thing. There were however many overused scenes, a cliche to films like these.

Another thing worth mentioning are the rest of the cast. Siddique was as natural as ever (he gets better in every film!) Anusree was hilarious and gave something to laugh about in an otherwise dull scene. Aditi Ravi could've slightly turned down her enthusiasm for a certain song and Lena could've done the same during one of her hysterical cries. I know she can do better. I've seen Traffic.

I did find the ending a little abrupt however symbolic it seemed. But overall, it was a decent film with the inevitable mistakes of a first time.

"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.
