OK, I had to write this. Precious waste of time with "Aadhavan". Thought Surya was done with mundane films after "Vel". Whatever maybe the reason for him choosing this script, still quite unpardonable. The movie might go on to attract A,B and C audiences, but has eroded the stature of Surya to some extent. Every character, except that of Surya and Vadivelu, stood out like a sore thumb - the super artificial Nayantara, the movie storywriter Ramesh Kanna ( guess he lost his marbles for good ), the washed-up Sarojadevi, the jokers aka villains - Shayaji Shinde and Rahul dev, and finally....the super comical Anandbabu ( son of the great Nagesh ). KS Ravikumar sure has joined the league of Perarasu with this flick. The less said about the story, screenplay and direction, the better.
I just cant think of any positives about this movie. 3 of the better songs which sounded good, have been now corrupted with the sorry picturization of the same. The songs were painfully inserted at inopportune moments to provide the so called relief from the hopelessness of the movie. The background score was a scare too. Every movie of KSR now seems to be pre-dated in a regressive manner by a 5 year margin. We sure did laugh at the brainless plot and some genuine comical moments involving Vadivelu, and were really surprised to see one guy sitting ahead of us filming the movie on his mobile. Wonder what he intended to do, given the fact that the movie was dumb and an insult to the audience . The knockout punch was KSR making the depressing appearance and this time, he dragged in the producer for good measure. Please save your money and time, dont watch "Aadhavan". I shudder at the thought of Surya's next flick being wielded by the "Aruvaal and Tata Sumo" friendly Hari. Post this tragedy, we sought the temporary solace of "Amethyst".
Verdict - Must Avoid.
