3 times the boredom.
Amigos is about Siddharth (Kalyan Ram) finding two of his doppelgangers Manjunath and Michael, on a website. They decide to meet in Goa and become best of friends over a song. They even collaborate to help Siddharth to win over his girl Ishika (Ashika Ranganath). Things take a turn when Michael is revealed to be a druglord Bipin whom the NIA are after and his masterplan is to steal his doppleganger's identity forever.
This one liner story might sound appealing but the execution was unengaging from the first act itself. Making the trio find each other so easily and even the lackluster love story simply dragged the first half. Once the reveal happens, Siddharth taking on the powerful villain while saving his other friend who is in the custody of NIA seems far fetched. Even if one ignores the loopholes, the twists in the second half were pretty much basic and lacked finesse.
The good intent behind choosing such a concept is visible but not the effort in narrating it effectively. Even NKR tried too hard to portray the 3 different characters when they were basically written to be one toned.
