    Low quality 'Maheshinte Prathikaaram' 144p

    The starting was intriguing and violent. I expected something like the epic 'Maheshinte Prathikaaram'.

    But there was nothing, literally nothing, no revenge moments. I was waiting for any badass fights until the climax, like the good guy beats the hell out of bad guys, but I was disappointed to the core, Nothing !!! No goosebump moments nothing.

    The movie just a funny kind of drama portrays a guy who marries a girl and some unfortunate event happens during the day of there marriage. And the guy obviously get distracted and tries to fix everything.

    Both Shine Tom Chacko and Ahaana Krishna did justice to there roles. They did what they were suppose to do. But the flow of the storyline and the script not properly digestible.

    Still the movie is not that bad, just an one time watch. For those who want to kill sometime and watch a simple movie without any expectations.

    Good performances by the leads. The ending could've gotten better treatment. [+54%]

    "Bruised male ego" cinematic universe gets one more entry in this partially entertaining film with a half-baked climax. The reason the film works to a large extent is its central performances - a cast-against-type Shine Tom Chacko and a perpetually perplexed Ahaana Krishna. Playing a newly married couple, they exhibit the right amount of spontaneous chemistry, making their (budding) relationship enjoyable to watch. Ahaana's character gets a meaty part to play in the proceedings, and she does fairly well, in what comes off as a subversion of this particular screenplay template.

    When the film's core conflict presents itself, it feels like an extension of writer Ratheesh Ravi's previous work Ishq. The developments, while initially interesting, progressively get weaker in the second half leading up to an unrealistic (and kinda meh) finale. This also has to do with Dhruvan's one-note baddie act, even when his character gets some texturing in the script. Also, more than in Ishq, the absence of the police in this story bothered me.

    An "ADI" for the viewers

    Where to start. The movie is more or less like a cheap imitation of Dulquer starrer KALI. But with less substance in the screenplay. Shine Tom's character is a joke and so are the antagonists. There's not a single department where this movie can be given credit to. Believe me I tried hard. Almost acting of all characters were below par, except for Ahana. She is a sore to the eyes. Her acting is so bad that a scene where she talks is shot mostly from behind her. Her dialogue delivery, expressions are all so very painful to listen and watch. The villains are even bigger jokes. Why on earth are such movies made, is beyond me.

    Negative 2 stars for Ahaana's acting

    Climax is really unexpected and satisfying. The performances of Shine and the antagonists were really good. That said , Ahaana's performance was as expected (terrible). Only downside of the movie is Ahaana's acting. There are a lot of actors in Malayalam industry who could have done Ahaana's role far better. May be the budget of the movie was really low. Even a new face would have done better. Hats off to the editor who tried his best to mask Ahaana's bad acting by using clips of Shine's expression while Ahaana's was overacting.

    In summary

    1. Adi is a good movie .One time watch recommended.

    2. Ahana should stop acting for the sake of malluwood.
