Aadhavan Review Its a miracle I survived

ANDHAVAAA!!!! is what i exclained comming out of the movies after sitting through Ravi Kumar's Suriya starrer Aadhavan. Common!! what the thinking hats behind this flick think about the Tamil movie audience is pretty obvious. I dont know where to start from, firstly i belong to the school that thinks a script and a decent storyline is a pre-reqiusite for a good movie unfortunately this thought seemed as irrelevant to the makers of the filim as helmets to Indian motorists.

The story about how a paid assassin- Suriya (who goes about shooting people with the same flamboyance and glee like little red ridding hood plucking flowers along way to grandma's) has  to protect a prominent judge who is later on is reviled to be his dad -Bharat Murali, from Rahul dev who plays a gangster and a doctor and an accomplished crane operator.

   Suriya enters the house of the judge as a help and later on reveals he is the judge's long lost son and then truns protector and the 21/2 hour torture climaxes in a stunt (suprise!! suprise!!) which shows our villan who is in a helicopter, fire a harppon, with a time bomb into an ambassador -carrying the hero's lady love and dad, hanging from the air thanks to a crane, and if you thought that was unbeatable then get this. Our hero who has been knocked unconscious wakes up thanks to the smell of petrol that has been flowing generously, then uses the cable of the crane to reach the car holding his dad and then pull out the harpoon with the time BOMB and uses the momentum to leap onto the helicopter and stab the harpoon onto it just like sticking a candle on a birthday cake and then say 'Appa na ungale kapathiten ' like any good son and our villan screams at once the timmer comes to zero like any good villan.Needless to say all the good guys are safe and live happily ever after.

It a shame the a fine actor like Bharat Murali is going to have this as his last movie, but no doubt it wont be the lasting one. And Harris Jayaraj must understand that serene locations and Suriya in colourful outfits does not mean an automatic hit score. Except for Asali... none of the songs seemed to work for me. Vadivelu salvaged the first half of the movie, Suriya's intensity waned off after the initial scenes, and it was only the sharp editing that ensured i did not sleep off. but i still dont understand how a kid could run off from Chennai and reach Kolkotta still carrying th gun he managed to take from a police officer.

In total pls dont waste time on this flick... trust me you would have more fun watching you neighbour's cat lick itself clean...
