AADHIBHAGAVAN ( '' GOD OF DISASTER '' )

Cast: Jayam Ravi, Neetu Chandra.

Director: Ameer.

Ameer makes us wait for 6 years ,after delivering Paruthiveeran, for his next film Aadhibhagavan and what you get is something you would have never expected.

The first ten minutes of a film is where the director has to grab the attention of his audience but sadly what happens is the exact opposite. Though Jeyam Ravi is sincere his lack of grace and grip to handle such a (supposedly)heavy role is evident right from the start.

The screenplay is so ridiculously silly with a lot of characters appearing for god knows what! As silly as it can sound Sudha Chandran(who is poor,jobless and estranged)takes Jeyam Ravi and his sister to Thailand!!! And before you know it Aadhi(Jeyam Ravi)becomes a gangster. His dialogues and actions are more funny than serious. But as the second character Bhagavan he does a decent job.

The cinematography,with, a tone that is dull and stupid unnecessary slow motions,and editing,that is sloppy and below average, are a bad joke! All the songs in the film are bad and unneeded.

The flow of the scenes is so silly, artificial and blatantly inconsistent that you wonder if Ameer was the only person calling the shots. With a lot of the dialogues actually mouthed in Hindi but dubbed in Tamil, the lip sync is a disaster!!!

The only mentionable things of an otherwise disastrous film are the decent fights and Jeyam Ravi’s earnestness.

I am giving a 1.25/5 for Aadhibhagavan. Do not watch it lest you will lose your interest in films.
