Aadu - Oru Bheegara Jeevi Aanu 2

To begin with,i had low expectations for the movie.The so called reason being the first part of the movie and the declaration made by the team of the movie that it is just fun and logic-less. So i was a little wary to jump into this loop.

But, breaking apart all my doubts AADU 2 is way above its predecessor and higher than you can think of. The comedy is spot on. Usually the movies made for just comedy make many low standard jokes, but this movie walks a new path of giving you the real laugh at every corner and let me warn you the movie is a hairpin road. The director/writer has Beautifully and skillfully connected back to the 1st part. There aint much story to see,pretty much the same stuff,but highly funny.

Just give the 1st part a go and then get in for this treat.

Aadu was a flop film in theatres but later had a cult following among youth when its DVD released. I remember when I was in college many boys used to wear Shaji pappan attire and dance to his theme song in college day. Inspired by the predecessor fan following, director Midhun Manuel Thomas and producer Vijay babu decide to come with its sequel. Except Chemban vinod, Sandra Thomas and renji panicker, all the characters in the first part are there with addition to new characters of baiju, maamukoya, sethulakshmi, Anson Paul etc. Does aadu 2 meet expectations?

Plus: 1. Performances: Aadu 2 main plus point is the entertaining performance of the major cast. Jayasurya's Shaji pappan character had all the mass elements but wasn't used properly in the first part. But in aadu 2, his heroism is used to full extent such that even his minimal mannerisms bring thunderous applause and whistles among audience. Kudos to Jayasurya to maintain the same body language from the first part. The next one who shines is Vinayakan as dude. Everyone knows that vinayakan successfully made his place among audience after winning the state award for best actor in kammatipadam. His dude character this time also entertains the audience and he too has a buildup scene. Vijay babu's comic timing improves in this one. Saiju kurup is double funny as Abu and dharmajan is as usual hilarious. Only Sunny Wayne's performance is weak. 2. Comedy: Aadu 1 had lot of unfunny jokes mostly. But aadu 2 has standard jokes which everyone would enjoy. 3. Songs and background score: Shaan rahman's music helps in maintaining the festive mode of the film. 4. Direction: Midhun Manuel Thomas rectified all the mistakes he had done in first part and made aadu 2 a well packaged entertainer.

Minus: 1. Story: Story of the film begins only in the second half which is confusing. After watching aadu 2 if anyone asks you its story then you would be scratching your heads. 2. Length: Film is very long and could have been trimmed especially in the first half as all of it features comedy of Shaji pappan gang.

Verdict: I didn't like aadu 1 even after it became a cult film, but I really loved aadu 2. Though initial scenes made me feel like I am again going to watch a bizarre film,but after the entry of shaji papan gang it becomes a roller coaster ride of fun. After puli murugan, this was my best theatre experience not because it's a visual treat but because I saw it in a houseful theatre were people were applauding and cheering for each and every scene.

Can you please make a spinoff movie about "Dude Sir " please.

When i saw aadu 1 i was really impressed by what the director did with the charecters and this is easily one of the best things aadu1 and the sequel has offered.the script is well written and the direction is crisp.this is a movie that everyone can watch and enjoy and leave the theater with a smile

stop watching reviews and just go watch it........!!!!

There are very few, rare occasions where we, viewers are enthralled by the atrocities going on in the big screen. That's where Aadu 2 suceeds at its best. Even simple, illogical scenes make this film a fun outing at every time.

A sequel to the disaster Aadu ( Oru Bheekara Jeevi Aanu), which was made a iconic film after the dvd release, which sparked a really fun and no-mo film that everyone admired. Aadu's sucess in that area pushed Midhun to take up its sequel, which is sure to destroy the BO.

In short, Aadu 2 takes everything from the first and improves upon it. It does justice to every character ( although Chemban Vinod was missing ) and the pure no-conscience of character development made the film a funnier outing than the first. The story, screenplay., direction were all on par with the first with the little more emphasis on storytelling than the first. The acting, was phenomenal by Jayasurya, who shows no sign of being out of character for a single moment in the movie. Viewers may find it a bit tedious of the runtime. which stretches to nearly 3 hours, but you will rarely notice that. The first half was better than the second, since Aadu is a film which focuses on comedy and the first half exactly delivered that.

Aadu has all the potential to become a franchise. It has the following, the reach and more importantly, memorable characters.

Rating - 8.5 / 10.0
