Aghathiyaa

The story follows Aghathiyan, who becomes entangled in a conflict involving a skilled Siddha healer and a ruthless colonial officer, uncovering secrets that change everything.

Jiiva plays the role of Aghathiyan in this thriller-horror movie. He is well-suited for such roles and delivers a solid performance.

Arjun's portrayal of Siddharthan adds an intriguing dimension to the movie, and his performance proves that he can still play the lead role when the character is compelling.

Nizhalgal Ravi, known for his roles in horror films, delivers a strong supporting performance. Alongside him, Radha Ravi, Rohini, and Charlie also perform their roles convincingly.

The comedy doesn't work as expected, but the horror elements succeed in scaring the audience in certain scenes.

Pa. Vijay excels in the Colonial-era portions by highlighting the advantages of Siddha Medicine through punchlines. The fantasy elements, supported by satisfying computer graphics, add another layer to the film. While the first half of Aghathiyaa lags, the treatment of the second half saves the movie.

Overall, Aghathiyaa is a fun, one-time watch movie for entertainment.

Bad reviewers made movie look bad. The quantum technology is already started helping to connect spirituality and science by quantum consciousness, humans still don't know what is black hole, only assumptions still exist. But fabrication of reality by observers are creating illusion believing it is real. Ppl shld believe in nature and connect science with consciousness, hope quantum technology proves it one day. Religions initiated the understanding of cosmology, though it is considered mythical due to various beliefs exist, it all depends on the intelligence made available to each region ppl help them depict how it has to be per their thought process or processed details might also be reason.

Rating - 3.5/5

A well curated horror mystery drama blending a mythological tale through a robust screenplay and engaging visuals.

The plot of the story revolves around Agathiyaa,a film production designer who hires an ancient bungalow for set work finds out there is a strange mystery surrounding the place and how he cracks it forms the crux of the story.

Pa Vijay has conceived the brilliant idea and has portrayed the story onto the screen leaving no loose ends. The filmmakers has synched romance,torture,humour, betrayal,horror and family emotions in the right ratio throughout the story keeping the audience engrossed to the screen. Pa Vijay has incorporated the ancient culture of the motherland,the pre independence era and the legacy of the forefathers through a flashback perfectly infusing with the storyline.

Impressive performances by Jiiva,Arjun Sarjaa,Shah Ra,Radha Ravi,Raashi Khanna & Matylda. Good shots by the DOP Dipak Kumar and editor San Lokesh in giving an engaging mystery tale. The Colorist,VFX team and the Art team also deserves appreciation for setting the horror mystery ambience in the haunted bungalow.

A good watchable horror entertainer with light humour elements through an engaging narrative.

A Periodical Spiritual Horror Fantasy film that praises Siddha medicine and siddhars. Kavingnar/Director PA Vijay's good writings and film making keep us engage. Arjun, Jeeva's screen presence finds good and their characters just lifting the story. Actually this horror film has a very good story mode. It contains a mix of emotions, knowledge, awareness, intention and purpose. An Eye-catching extraordinary Artwork, great cinematography & lighting, interesting VFX are being the great support to the film. As usual Yuvan's music elevates all the scenes well. That climax spirit's fight makes us stay stunned - New to Tamil Cinema (Look like Multiverse Portal Fight). Definitely a good film for all the general/family audiences. Big applause to the entire team of Agathiyaa. I loved and enjoyed watching this film. It look like a big budget film from Vel International and it gives a good theatrical experience.

Because of Dragon's huge occupancy of theaters/screens in Tamilnadu, this film was released in very few theaters/screens. That was a very big disappointment. I think most of the people haven't noticed this good film yet.

It was a family entertainer. No vulgarity,No double meaning comedy ,no unwanted romance and it could be watched along with kids which is a rare thing nowadays. Moreover the movie's message was good and it uphold the significance of our Indian traditional Medicine system to let the younger generation cherish the value of our heritage and culture. There were horror elements to entertain children but may not be satisfactory for the real horror lovers. It's a flat story of Angel vs Devil. Hence it could not be expected under the category of intellectual screenplay but at the same time it didn't bluff around like some comedy horror movies where neither comedy nor horror presents. The movie is a good mix of sentiment, patriotism and tribute to Siddha medicine which is a must watch elements for young children to nurture. These kind of movies which carry good social message are rarely running in the theatres whereas movies which show hero in bad shade are becoming grand hit .Moral values are looked upon as fun things in most of the current trending movies. Among those garbages,this movie is a rare gem. It's a highly recommended movie for a weekend along with family.
