Ameerin Aadhi Bhagavan (2013)

A different way of telling a story

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Finally the much awaited film of Ameer, "Aadhi Bhagavan", has hit the screens. The film went through 25 cuts and was still given a "A" certificate by the censor board. Well was the film really worth?Aadhi (Jeyam Ravi) is a underground mafia in Bangkok and lives with his girlfriend Karishma (Neetu Chandra). Despite being rejected by his parents for his gangsterism, Aadhi never fails to shower them with love. Karishma brings Aadhi down to Mumbai saying that her father wants to meet them. Once landed in Mumbai, Aadhi gets arrested by the local cops and is thrown into prison. Why was Aadhi arrested? What happened to Karishma upon arriving in Mumbai? Watch the film to find out.Jeyam Ravi has given his best shot for this film. Prepare to see him in a new avatar never seen before! His acting was way out of the box. Pre- release, Ameer had said that if he had to work again with the same hero, he would opt for Jayam Ravi and now we realize why he said so. "Aadhi Bhagavan" is Ravi's most daring and gutsy performance to date! He is quick in his moves in the action sequences. The star has put his heart and soul into the film. Neetu Chandra did a fair job to her role.Yuvan's music was a blast for the film. "Aadhi Bhagavan" is one of the few masterpieces of Yuvan. His background score was soft and crispy.Screenplay was unique & stylish for "Aadhi Bhagavan", especially during the action sequences. Music videos was done fairly but could have been better. Editing was not very satisfying. The fight scenes could have been trimmed abit to reduce the length of the film. Cinematographer Devaraj has made sure that he captured the fight scenes in a crispy and hardcore way.As one might expect, Ameer has delivered "Aadhi Bhagavan" with lots of blood and gore, but the love portion and the twist keeps you rooted to the seat till the very end. One might not have expected Jeyam Ravi to don such a role in the film.Verdict: Aadhi-Bhagavan is a 2 time killer which will not leave your mind even after watching the film.Ratings: 4/5

Once Again after "Paruthiveeran" Ameer gave a blockbuster......! Excellent Cinematography by Devaraj. Powerful background Scoring by Yuvan. Neetu Chandra suited her character well. Finally the main focal point is J.Ravi. A Mind blowing performance by Jeyam Ravi than in his any other film. The first half of the movie takes place in Thailand. It goes a little bit dragging but then the story takes place in Mumbai, doesn't lacks any thrill and keeps you at edge of your seats. Amazing getup and body language by Jeyam Ravi makes a turn in his career. Worth watching the film. Songs - 6/10 BGM 8/10 Cinematography 7/10 Acting - 8/10.

I went to the cinema hall expecting a total badass gangsta flick,did i get what i wanted?yeah, to some extent.Ameer who has previously made movies like Ram and Paruthiveeran experiments with a full blown commercial flick.Aadhi Shanmugam is a gangster based in Bangkok,he earns the wrath of Rao brothers of Andhra Pradesh after he steals their stash posing as a CBI officer.Gradually he falls out with his boss Mr.Shyam , and everyone including his former boss and Rao brothers want him dead.Meanwhile he falls for a waitress and follows her to Mumbai.What happens next is the interesting part of the story.This movie is by far the best movie of jayam ravi,he convincingly pulls of both the roles of aadhi and bhagavan.Neetu chandra has acted well too.There appears to be a few open ends but maybe the director has plans for a sequel.

After 2 years I have expected lot from Ameer and Ravi also but Im disappointed after seeing 1st half.but when the Mumbai Bhagavan character there was some sound wakes me up in the theater.And after interval BGM of Yuvan Rocks and it makes me entertained and of course acting of Jayam Ravi also quite brilliant(Bhagavan) and its not like Robo Aadhi and in Aadhi character he walks like Robo and don't have any expression and he should learn it from Thala from Billa.Coming to actress they should have go for some leading actress and climax fight by Neetu Chandra was good. But, her lip sync for her Tamil dialogs is below-par, truth to tell.overall Bhagavan was good and rating for him was 4/5 and for Aadhi was 1/5.
