    "Aadhaar" makes an impact despite the minor flaws

    The scene and tone are set right from the opening where we see a luxury car is being launched and quickly followed by the introduction of Pachamuthu (Karunaas). This shift in the narrative was so quick to capture the social situation, the class war by encompassing more characters recurring economic crises and injustice in the system. At first, I was expecting something like a tear jerker drama but it was much more. I have to mention that actor Karunas did a good job in Interval sequence, he suffers and suffers, tries to take help by pleading and begging with the cops and constantly fails but doesn't give up. Even at the end his character stays true to the actual reality and not gimmicky. All he is left with is an aadhar card of his wife and you genuinely feel sad as he prays to god which is the only glimmer of hope. It was a good decision to have a message appear on the screen to highlight the helpless who are shipwrecked due to the injustice in the system in the closure. Even the Muslim cop is nothing more than a pawn and his end is tragic after getting his hands dirty. I liked the lady cop scenes and how they stage the accident, the airbag, test-drive and the postmortem. It really placed me to view the inner workings of the system where chaos prevails. The film has minor flaws like the staging of few scenes, i had problems with the song placement, even the baby crying didn't sync with the setting, in few places the acting of the lead felt like an overkill. But in the end, i want to appreciate the intention of the director to make this project despite the limited budget and putting his point forth as a clear reflection of the political, economic, social crisis. I totally recommend everyone to see this movie, do not make hasty presumptions or compare it with other filmmakers style or pattern.

    Solid drama

    RATED 8/10 Language: Tamil Source: Nil RECOMMENDED.

    The movie is well crafted and presented with engaging screenplay. The mystery was maintained quite well till the end. The only minus point is the reason behind the mystery. I was bit disappointed with the reason, but the prefect execution compromised that.

    The side stories and characters are quite good and they helped well for the flow of the movie. The crime sequences are fresh and added the good thrill factor.

    Good mystery thriller without any commercial compromise. Worth the watch.

    --Repeating again for 600 chars limit Good mystery thriller without any commercial compromise. Worth the watch.

    Great attempt by Aadaar team... especially director & Producer

    Such a great movie after a long time ago, but there was no advertisement and marketing such types of good movies now a days star casting movies only digital marketing if its have a poor story line and no social messages 😀.

    But this movie was reality of present situation of common man.. Public should give support for this types of flim makers.

    Especially music ,editing and camera photography good,in first half little lag in story line & sentiments, but second half extremely good. The climax world class cinema, hands-off director for this brave attempt.. Also first time producer he invested is great attempt.. congratulations once again...

    Brilliant Movie

    Technical department have done their job well and story and screenplay department have made those efforts resulting into a peak level. I really appreciate the writers of this film are. It is not just a usual thriller with a many of emotional contents. I am very satisfied with this film. I would suggest you to go for Aadhaar. It is a brilliant film with a brilliant story from a talented director. This film will be Big success in the coming days just like commercial entertainers. The performance of whole cast was simply superb. Given the brilliant filmmaking & non-linear narrative trick, it could have been a far better entertainer.

    Perfect weekend family entertainer

    It is what should be called a movie;awsome⭐⭐⭐no star cast no stardom scenes,simply beautiful,engaging,no overratedinternational/underworld story, but a story everyone can be connected through somewhere or by someone..its under rated i think no one will watch it in theatres but it will have a long life,worthy for a memmorable movie...dont get overhyped;its simple and awsome at the same time.

    This movie characters are very amazing and natural acting. Karunas is very talented actor and director are very clever too.

    Perfect weekend family entertainer. The jokes are well timed and acting is just what you need. Ramnath Palanikumar is on point. Looking forward to many more.
