Aadhavan starring Surya, directed by KS Ravikumar, has nothing new to say. It has a story which we have heard a thousand times in tamil, telugu and hindi mass masala entertainers.
Yes, its about a professional killer who finds his way into the house of judge (Murali) and waiting for an oppurtunity to eliminate him. As usual the hero becomes protector at the end and fights against the baddies.
This mass masala formula film has a decent mix of comedy, action, style, songs and sentiments, but i think they are not in desired proportions. And that makes the film stale. The script is racy, takings are good but there is something missing.
Surya steals the show with his energetic performance and getups. It was a surprise for me to see him even in 10 year old get up. Nayantara looks okay in the film with her controlled glamour show. Vadivelu also got many scenes to score. Eventhough it was a cakewalk for him, Murali got a role with comparatively good screen space. SarojaDevi, Rahul Dev, Sayaji Shinde etc were also good in their roles.
Songs are picturised beautifully. Music by Harris Jayaraj reminds his old works. Vaaraya is good to hear and Hazzile fizzle is worthwatch.
The film is good in some parts, moving through an expectable storyline, but the climax was an overdose. Dont know why Ravikumar killed his own work with that type of climax. Maybe, he wants to build tension during that situations. Anyway, that was horrible.
(Director and producer appears on screen during the last scene)
Surya should become more selective as this film is no way different or better than his recent film Ayan. As a good actor who doesnt hesitates to take risks, Surya should think about projects which can offer something novel.
Anyway, Aadhavan is an one time watchable movie for a tamil mass masala lover!
Verdict:Average
