Aghathiyaa

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.

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.

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.

It's clear that most of the people in the Tamil film industry lack creativity and talent. Especially the older generation. The newer guys are making sensible movies. All these people can do is copy it make stupid movies like this. Horrible CGI, pathetic acting, dumb storyline. Adding a bunch of yesteryear actors couldn't save this disaster. Movie has a bunch of actors and all were out of place and uninterested in their roles. Absolute trash of a movie. I know prime is bad but this movie takes the cake. If you have nothing better to do just sit quiet and it will be time well spent than watching this nonsense.

I usually don't write reviews for movie but this movie made me to do.

This movie is blindly misleading, showcasing mythology as true facts but there's no proof shown. Showcasing blackhole as shiva linga made me laugh. We all know what is black hole exactly. And another, making believe Sidda medicine is true medicine, which lab proven medicine are useless. This movie maybe convincing for older generations cause of religious faith in this film but not for newer generations. They know what is true and myth.

Don't give money for old geeks for making movies like these, there are many talented directors out there. Give them a chance.

Don't watch this film for mental health.
