Adios Amigo

Just when I thought there couldn't possibly be a "substandard" Malayalam movie, along comes #AdiosAmigo. Despite the presence of capable actors like Suraj Venjaramoodu and Asif Ali, this is a futile movie. What is the narrative exactly about? After meeting at a bus stop, two men decide to travel together. Since they don't have a set destination, they go to different places and spend time together. The disparities between the affluent and the poor are amply displayed in the movie. There are some wealthy individuals who believe that having money is irrelevant if it cannot be used to assist the underprivileged. There are some poor people who desperately need money to clear their medical bills but are unable to procure funds for the same. Performances are good. Running time needs to be reduced by 25 minutes. Rating 1.5/5.

Adios Amigo (2024) - When Life meets Luxury. An Asif Ali movie, with out ' Asif Ali '. What an experience, what a ride.

Prince and Boss, the Rich Guy and the Poor Man, the two strangers went on for a journey, pure LIFE. Movie started as promising but after second half it shows the weak writings, especially Asif's character backstory didn't get a full fledged payoff. Many artists have done cameo portions in the movie, especially in voice over phone calls. It could have been a great movie if the makers had given more time to polish the second half.

And on top of that, it's a Badly edited movie, but still, a feel good Asif Ali film. Another Asif Ali Masterpiece 6/10.

Adios Amigo

A light fun to watch feel good entertainer with many hilarious and humane moments.

The plot of the movie is about two strangers from varied life circumstances accidentally crosses each other and the interesting bond they develops and funny situations that happens along their road travel forms the storyline.

Aji Peter Thankam after 'Kettyolanu Ende Malakha' has penned a loud and carefree characterisation for Asif Ali in the movie and he has appropriately portrayed the character through his mannerisms without losing the accent of North Paravoor guy.

Suraj has played the real life character of the writer Thankam in the story and has portrayed the character of a family centric guy from Idukki.

Nahas Nazar has portrayed many emotional and empathetic moments through the movie and the value of relationships and the role of wealth in defining a relationship. Thankam through his writing has again hooked the emotional and relationship stigma in the mind of the viewers.

A decent debut directorial by Nahas Nazar with a soft ending & good BGM's by Jakes Bejoy.

Rating - 3.25/5.

Adios Amigo (2024) starts on a fun note, making its direction clear early on. However, by the second half, it becomes evident that the writer loses grip on the narrative, and the director struggles to steer it effectively. Suraj delivered his role with precision, and his character's development supported his performance. Asif Ali put in effort but was let down by a half-baked character. While the film had a strong framework, the lack of well-rounded writing prevented it from becoming the feel-good travel movie it aimed to be.

One lingering question: why didn't the character use his Federal Bank debit card to withdraw cash? This plot hole feels like an odd oversight.

The two-and-a-half-hour runtime of this movie felt excessively long, as it stretched out a single plot without introducing any other exciting scenarios. Several unnecessary scenes inside the bus during the first half could have easily been trimmed. The first half was little too lengthy which made me bored even before the first half.

The performances of the asif and suraj were engaging, but the excessive duration and repetition made it frustrating. Some of the humor landed well, while most of them fell flat. They might thought that, "Bosse" will be new trending thing but I feel irritated when I hear that now. Overall, it was a below-average experience and didn't work for me as well.
