Aadu Oru Bheegara Jeevi Aanu Movie Review: Not As Expected!

Aadu Oru Bheegara Jeevi Aanu is the directorial debut of scenarist Midhun Manuel Thomas, who entered movie industry with blockbuster movie Om Shanti Oshana. The movie stars Jayasurya in the lead role. Aadu Oru Bheegara Jeevi Aanu is produced by Vijay Babu and Sandra Thomas under the banner Friday Film House.

Renji Panicker, Vijay Babu, Saiju Kurup, Indrans, Chemban Vinod Jose, Vinayakan, Dharmajan, Sandra Thomas etc play the other pivotal roles. Sunny Wayne, Aju Varghese, Srinda Ashab and Swathi Reddy appears in cameo roles.

Story

Shaji Pappan (Jayasurya) is the captain of a local tug-war team of Pothumukku. Pappan and his team wins a tug-war tournament and gets a female goat, Pinkie as a special prize. Pappan and his team members are totally clueless about what to do with the goat. Later, they decide to kill the goat and this forms the rest of the story.

Cast And Performance

Jayasurya has nothing to do with his role Shaji Pappan; but his performance eventually ends up as the only saving grace of the movie. Vijay Babu, who plays Inspector Surbath Shameer, disappoints with his unnatural performance. 

The supporting cast, including Renji Panicker, Vijay BabuSaiju Kurup, Indrans, Chemban Vinod Jose, Vinayakan, Dharmajan etc are just fine in their minimal roles. Sandra Thomas, who appears in a pivotal role, overplays her character and is a total mismatch among the whole cast. Sunny Wayne, Aju Varghese, Srinda Ashab and Swathi Reddy are ok in their cameo roles.

Script And Direction

The biggest weak point of the movie is its foundation-screen play. The movie, which starts with a highly promising beginning, turns disappoints with the plot which lacks a strong story line. The basic plot of the movie is too small to fit in to the canvas of a feature film.

Midhun Manuel Thomas's directorial debut is not impressive as expected. The director fails to bring out a clarity into the narrative; thus some scenes and characters looks completely out of place.

Technical Aspects

Vishnu Narayan's cinematography creates a beautiful backdrop for the movie. Lijo Paul's editing fails to meet the standards. The title song of the movie, which has been picturized through animation, deserves a special applause.

Songs And Background Score

Shaan Rahman scores with the perfect background score and songs.

Verdict

Fails to meet the expectations raised by the first looks and trailer.
