Aghathiyaa: A Unique Concept Needing Stronger Screenplay
The story follows Aghathiyan, who becomes entangled in a conflict involving a skilled Siddha healer and a ruthless colonial officer, uncovering secrets that change everything.
Jiiva plays the role of Aghathiyan in this thriller-horror movie. He is well-suited for such roles and delivers a solid performance.
Arjun's portrayal of Siddharthan adds an intriguing dimension to the movie, and his performance proves that he can still play the lead role when the character is compelling.
Nizhalgal Ravi, known for his roles in horror films, delivers a strong supporting performance. Alongside him, Radha Ravi, Rohini, and Charlie also perform their roles convincingly.
The comedy doesn't work as expected, but the horror elements succeed in scaring the audience in certain scenes.
Pa. Vijay excels in the Colonial-era portions by highlighting the advantages of Siddha Medicine through punchlines. The fantasy elements, supported by satisfying computer graphics, add another layer to the film. While the first half of Aghathiyaa lags, the treatment of the second half saves the movie.
