Adhe Kangal

Good Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie were not so good. The movie was not so interesting at 1st half. The movie was so interesting at 2nd half. The movie lagged a lot at 1st half. Good Movie.

This is an off the beat Mystery movie. Though, the tempo and overall proceedings is low key with a "TV serial" feel to it at times (though definitely not shrill!), it keeps ones attention engaged thru the end. It starts of innocuously, with a blind Chef getting besotted by a lady customer who mysteriously visits him at the closing time of the restaurant. A lady journalist who is in love with the chef forms the third character of this plot, but this is no triangle. Without giving too much of the plot away, interesting things happen with an accident to Chef recovering his sight, the lady customer vanishing etc. All leading to a hunt to find out the truth. There is a supporting act by a cop, whose characterization is interesting and well acted too.

Overall, a good watch, without any vulgarity, violence. Well-acted with a bare minimum star cast, technical credits just good enough to keep things moving, background score staying in the background (not creating artificial noise). I liked all the three lead actors doing their part well to sail the movie thru.

A friend of mine recommended me to watch this film. Already knowing that it's a suspense film and an old and well acclaimed Tamil mystery film exists on the same name, I had some expectations. Little did I know, that this film would be a disappointment.

The story took so long to unravel that I almost fell asleep. I did expect some fast paced heart throbbing suspense after the intermission but the screenplay showed no improvement. It was maintaining it's slow predictable tone of the film.

Sometimes, it felt that the characters are acting too dumb just to elongate the run-time of this film. This film doesn't deserve the title 'Adhe Kangal' as the title and the story is irrelevant. I conclude by recommending this film to people who like slow paced films with predictable twist. Signing off, daretoreadme.

Wonderful edge of the seat movie well directed by Venkatesan.

Although there are many templates in this cinematic world, some movies try to get the better of it. One such movie is Adhe Kangal.

The plot is normal one but the way the director treated it, creating very nice sub-plots around it with all the casts playing credible role in it.. This is what makes the director, director!

All the characters in the movie have their own importance. The main characters performed their role to their fullest extent! No more, no less.

Pros - BGM, sharp screenplay, Characterization, Performance of lead actors.

Its a very well made movie that one can surely watch in theaters. Worth the try.

Rating - 8/10
