THE CAST

JAYAM RAVI - In the beginning of the film, it is doubtful whether this story suits him. As he was portraying a mafia role, his voice do not seems to suit his roles despite having a perfect height and fitness. Soon, Ameer displays the reason why he had Jayam Ravi to play in this film. His role of Bhagavan definitely lands a trademark in his career. Who would have thought this romantic hero could have deliver this kind of role. Jayam Ravi highlights the movie. Any actor would never portrays this role perfectly. Surely deserving him a big applause and deserves him to be listed for award.

NEETU CHANDRA - Yet another great casting by Ameer. In the first half of the film, she portrays a waitress which could have been played by any actress but in the second half, she definitely a bomb blast. It is doubtful any actress will take up this role and performs this brilliantly. Her performance definitely another add on in Ameerin Aadhi Bhagavan.

Cast Rating : 4.5 / 5

THE DIRECTOR

After six years AMEER returns with a bomb. It is stated earlier that Jayam Ravi were roped by Ameer to direct a different movie. Later Ameer decided to pen down a different script for Jayam Ravi and duo began their project which took two years in the making. Aadhi Bhagavan which went to a protest by several people argues Ameer to change the title. Ameer who is in the other hand strictly told that he will not change the title as his movie is not affecting any religious concept. Soon, Ameer lifted addition to the title which goes under the name of - Ameerin Aadhi Bhagavan. This is definitely a slap for the protesters. A big applause for the brave Ameer for adding his name to the title.

For the story, the first half of the film delivers another usual love story between a mafia and an innocent waitress. This will definitely brings a predictable story by the viewers and even bored some of them who already washed their mind with this kind of lame story. This could have low down the expectation for the viewers. But the second half of the film is where all those prediction went wrong and hikes up the expectation! The introduction of Bhagavan definitely puts the jaw down and the rest of the story will definitely deserves Ameer a big applause.

Unfortunately unlike other Ameer's fick, this story definitely not to be compared with his previous success. The first half of the film seems to draggy with the songs and the love story between the two characters. Besides that, Aadhi's transformation from an unemployed teenager to a mafia did not really been specified. It is like anyone can go to Bangkok and becomes a mafia. But the second half of the film will definitely makes audience forgets about the minus in the first half and excites viewers the rest of the film.

Ameer has proven his effort with his direction role as he is very careful with the performance of his artist. It is well delivered with every particular details. Casting Jayam Ravi and Neetu Chandra surely the perfect thing to do. It is doubtful whether any other cast would fit the roles perfectly. 

Director Rating : 3.5 / 5

CINEMATOGRAPHY

K DEVARAJ handles the camera. The battle of two dual character by Jayam Ravi surely challenges the cinematographer as well as in other action scenes. Cinematography is totally neat and brings the pleasure to the audiences.

Cinematography Rating : 3 /5 

MUSIC

YUVAN SHANKAR RAJA who is favorite among the youngsters with his composition. Honestly speaking, Yuvan Shankar Raja's music did not highlight Ameerin Aadhi Bhagavan. Music does not bring much pleasant to the movie. As most of the song were played in the first half of the movie, it has occur dissatisfaction. But Yuvan's BGM definitely hikes up the film. The BGM's were fantastic and sync with the narration of the film.

Music Rating : 3 / 5

AMEERIN AADHI BHAGAVAN - Jayam Ravi's peformances is totally outstanding! Never though he had it. His performance definitely highlights the movie. The first half of the movie will low the expectation but the second half definitely excites the viewers. Neetu Chandra's performance is another add on in the movie. Big applause to Ameer to casting each character in very detail. Jayam Ravi's performance definitely makes Ameerin Aadhi Bhagavan a worth watching.

Movie Rating : 3 / 5
