Aadhi Bhagavan

Finally the much awaited film of Ameer, "Aadhi Bhagavan", has hit the screens. The film went through 25 cuts and was still given a "A" certificate by the censor board. Well was the film really worth?

Aadhi (Jeyam Ravi) is a underground mafia in Bangkok and lives with his girlfriend Karishma (Neetu Chandra). Despite being rejected by his parents for his gangsterism, Aadhi never fails to shower them with love. Karishma brings Aadhi down to Mumbai saying that her father wants to meet them. Once landed in Mumbai, Aadhi gets arrested by the local cops and is thrown into prison. Why was Aadhi arrested? What happened to Karishma upon arriving in Mumbai? Watch the film to find out.

Jeyam Ravi has given his best shot for this film. Prepare to see him in a new avatar never seen before! His acting was way out of the box. Pre- release, Ameer had said that if he had to work again with the same hero, he would opt for Jayam Ravi and now we realize why he said so. "Aadhi Bhagavan" is Ravi's most daring and gutsy performance to date! He is quick in his moves in the action sequences. The star has put his heart and soul into the film. Neetu Chandra did a fair job to her role.

Yuvan's music was a blast for the film. "Aadhi Bhagavan" is one of the few masterpieces of Yuvan. His background score was soft and crispy.

Screenplay was unique & stylish for "Aadhi Bhagavan", especially during the action sequences. Music videos was done fairly but could have been better. Editing was not very satisfying. The fight scenes could have been trimmed abit to reduce the length of the film. Cinematographer Devaraj has made sure that he captured the fight scenes in a crispy and hardcore way.

As one might expect, Ameer has delivered "Aadhi Bhagavan" with lots of blood and gore, but the love portion and the twist keeps you rooted to the seat till the very end. One might not have expected Jeyam Ravi to don such a role in the film.

Verdict: Aadhi-Bhagavan is a 2 time killer which will not leave your mind even after watching the film.

Ratings: 4/5

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.

I expected a lot from Ameer. I am dead fan of Ameer from 'Mounam Pesiyathe'. But he disappointed me a lot in this movie. He proves that he can't give a mass movie with commercial mas-ala. We expected to be a normal.. Expecting a good movie again from you, Ameer !! Sorry to give low rating.All the best for next movie !!I appreciate Ravi and Neetu effort. My rating is complete on director. First half is completely disappointing. Ameer's strength is deep and clear screen play. I felt that he missed same in this movie. Music is average. We expected a lot from Ameer. Hope he will provide a nice movie in future. 'Aathi Bhagavan' is below average movie. But Still I like Ameer as good director.

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.

After 2 years I have expected lot from Ameer and Ravi also but Im disappointed after seeing 1st half.but when the Mumbai Bhagavan character there was some sound wakes me up in the theater.And after interval BGM of Yuvan Rocks and it makes me entertained and of course acting of Jayam Ravi also quite brilliant(Bhagavan) and its not like Robo Aadhi and in Aadhi character he walks like Robo and don't have any expression and he should learn it from Thala from Billa.Coming to actress they should have go for some leading actress and climax fight by Neetu Chandra was good. But, her lip sync for her Tamil dialogs is below-par, truth to tell.overall Bhagavan was good and rating for him was 4/5 and for Aadhi was 1/5.
