After
a
long
wait,
Aadupuliyattam
has
finally
hit
the
theatres
today.
The
film
grabbed
attention
of
the
people,
right
from
the
day
of
the
release
of
its
first
look
poster
which
had
actor
Jayaram
in
an
all
new
look
Aadupuliyattam
is
a
horror-thriller,
directed
by
Kannan
Thamarakkulam.
The
film
has
been
scripted
by
Dinesh
Pallathu.
It
is
after
a
brief
break
that
a
horror-thriller
movie
is
releasing
in
Malayalam
and
hence
the
expectations
on
the
movie
have
been
good
enough.
Take
a
look
at
some
of
the
interesting
posters
of
Aadupuliyattam..
Synopsis
The
story
of
Aadupuliyattam
is
based
on
an
age-old
myth
which
is
shown
in
the
beginning
of
the
film.
The
film
then
travels
through
the
life
of
Satyajith(Jayaram),
who
is
a
rich
businessman.
He
goes
through
some
hallucinations
and
encounters
some
mysterious
experiences
which
takes
him
to
a
Saint(Om
Puri).
What
happens
rest
forms
Aadupuliyattam.
Script
and
Direction
Aadupuliyattam
is
the
second
outing
of
Kannan
Thaamarakkulam
as
a
director
after
the
forgettable
Thinkal
Muthal
Velli
Vare.
The
director
has
improved
a
lot
and
has
been
able
to
package
the
film
without
much
glitches.
But,
still
he
falls
short
on
providing
the
necessary
chills
which
is
much
required
for
a
horror-thriller.
The
director
could
have
worked
much
more
on
that.
Dinesh
Pallath
weaves
out
a
story
that
suits
the
mood
of
a
horror-thriller.
At
the
same
time,
the
film
is
not
devoid
of
cliche
elements
that
are
found
in
usual
horror
films.
The
film
does
move
on
to
a
repetitive
track
in
the
second
half,
after
the
comparatively
better
first
half.
Performances
Jayaram
gets
an
image
makeover
sporting
thick
beard
and
moustache.
He
looks
confident
throughout
the
film
and
has
delivered
a
sincere
performance.
Ramya
Krishnan
excels
in
her
role,
probably
we
can't
imagine
anyone
else
in
that
role.
Om
Puri
does
a
decent
job
in
his
second
outing
in
Mollywood.
Ramesh
Pisharody
and
Pashanam
Shaji
provide
us
with
some
occasional
laughs.
Sheelu
Abraham
has
nothing
much
to
do.
Sampath
does
a
good
job
delivering
a
solid
performance.
Special
mention
to
Baby
Akshara
who
simply
stole
the
show.
Cinematography
Jithu
Damodar
deserves
a
good
round
of
applause
for
setting
some
brilliant
frames
tht
did
gel
well
with
the
genre
of
the
movie.
Songs
&
BGM
Songs
of
the
film
set
to
tune
by
Ratheesh
Vega,
have
already
been
a
big
hit.
'Karuppana
Kannazhugi' has
some
splendid
beats
and
the
song
has
been
well-picturised.
BGM
lifts
the
movie
at
most
of
the
times
but
there
are
certain
portions
where
it
felt
to
be
louder
than
required.
Verdict
Aadupuliyattam
is
nothing
new
and
is
an
ordinary
horror
movie
which
might
turn
out
to
be
a
watchable
one
for
the
lovers
of
the
genre.
