AJITH IN ARAMBAM MOVIE DEEPAVALI SAREVADI REVIEW

November 10th Sunday


Review: Aarambam Movie is a delight for Ajith fans

DIRECTOR : Vishnu Vardhan ACTORS: Ajith, Arya, Nayantara, Tapsee, Rana Daggubatti, Kishore, Atul Kulkarni, Mahesh Manjrekar Run time: 157 mins Language: Tamil


​Fro'm the start to the end, Aarambam is an out-and-out Ajith film - a perfect Diwali gift for Thala's fans across the world. The film unfolds in Mumbai - Kollywood's favourite shooting spot these days - and Ajith once again plays a character with negative shades. Perhaps boosted by the success of his 2011 film Mankatha, the actor returns to the Salt-and-Pepper look as well. But, other than Ajith, the film has stellar cast, directed by Vishnu Varadhan.

The plot centres around Ashok (Ajith), a former bomb disposal specialist with Maharashtra's Anti-Terrorism Squad who is on a (revenge) mission. Ably supported by (Maya) Nayanthara and Arya (Arjun), Ashok plots the downfall of the state home minister (Mahesh Manjrekar), the kingpin behind many nefarious activities and scams plaguing the police force. How they wreak vengeance forms the crux of the story.
The gripping first-half breezes past, but the second half slips into familiar Tamil cinema terrain and is not as racy as one expects it to be. Though there are some boat chases and top action sequences (shot in Dubai), it fails to keep the audience enthused. The build-up to the climax is interesting in parts, but the film ends with a whimper. Yuvan Shankar Raja's music has too been a big let-down.
Ajith steals the show, but Mahesh Manjrekar is also a stand-out performer. Actors like Kishore and Rana Daggubati excel in their respective roles, while Nayantara comes up with another sterling performance. The scenes featuring Ajith and Rana countering the attacks of the terrorists have been filmed well, but it defies logic when a bomb expert is deployed in such a crucial operation with a single cop for compan y.
Aarambam is far from perfect, but it works mostly because of Ajith's mannerisms though it doesn't come anywhere near Mankatha or Billa. If you are in mood to watch a Tamil film this Diwali, you can try it out. Strictly a one-time watch.
S Saraswathi says Aarambam is a stylish and fast-paced action thriller set in the backdrop of the 26/11 Mumbai serial bomb blasts, that is unfortunately let down by its uninspired and mediocre storyline.

Director Vishnuvardhan’s magnum opus Aarambam, starring Ajith Kumar, released in theatres worldwide a couple of days ahead of Diwali, to give it a valuable two-day advantage over the other Diwali releases.

The film opened to packed houses with some theatres even screening 50 shows a day. Expectations are high for this multi-starrer, which boasts of popular stars Arya, Nayanthara and Taapsee Pannu.

The film also features Kishore, Suman Ranganathan, Mahesh Manjrekar, Atul Kulkarni and Telugu actor Rana Daggubati, who makes a special appearance.

Vishnuvardhan’s penchant for repeating his actors seems to extend to his music as well. Yuvan Shankar Raja composes the music yet again.
