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.

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.

Watching the movie Adios Amigos was like being stuck in long traffic. The only feeling was to get out very soon. The genre is comedy drama but there was hardly any laughs. Suraj venjaramoodu plays as an irresponsible person and has performed well. The cinematography and the background score was good .But the weak screenplay and direction has sunk the movie .Asif ali plays an irritating rich character with drunk philosophical words and has succeeded in irritating the audience. He has made the word 'Boss' irritating. He portrays a very rich character who doesn't have an ATM card. The movie was too long and slow. Most of the first half was not required, just like the rest of the movie. Overall it is a very boring movie.

A recent addition to Netflix, Adios Amigo made its way in without much noise, sliding in and out of theaters just as quietly. With strong performers featured on the poster, this was one to watch.

A quirky, rich guy with a heart of gold meets a man struggling to make ends meet. How they develop a bond over a few days forms the crux of the story.

The movie starts on an interesting note, with the characters being well-established. The plot is simple but gets dragged out. It could have easily been trimmed by 30 minutes to make a stronger impact.

Asif Ali's portrayal of a big-hearted, naïve drunkard is unique, and he plays the role with perfection. This character could have easily become cringeworthy, but he makes it endearing and entertaining. Suraj Venjaramoodu, with his poised stance, makes you root for him. Their chemistry works in the movie's favor. Anagha, though in a small role, proves her potential.

The songs add to the runtime and could have been cut. The comedy falls flat at multiple points, and the logic takes a backseat, but given the comedic nature of the film, this can be overlooked. The climax will surely touch your heart.

With crisper writing and tighter screenplay, the movie had the potential to get viewers more invested, but sadly, it turned out to be an average affair. Watch it if you're in the mood for something light and don't have anything solid to watch.

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.
