Even
before
the
release
of
the
movie,
one
could
easily
bet
on
Powerstar's
charisma
and
screen
presence.
He
is
arguably
one
of
the
assets
of
the
flick
as
he
could
be
seen
in
almost
every
frame
of
the
movie
and
with
a
bang.
However,
he
could
have
been
used
to
the
fullest
of
his
capacity
much
similar
to
his
earlier
flicks
with
Trvikram
Srinivas.
His
comical
and
effeminate
body
language
which
is
supposed
to
invoke
laughter
tends
to
go
overboard
over
a
period
of
time.
Keerthi
Suresh
and
Anu
Emmanuel
are
there
to
provide
the
glam
doll
image
throughout
the
movie
without
strong
characterizations.
Aadhi
Pinnisetty
as
the
antagonist
is
ineffective
and
mediocre.
Rao
Ramesh
and
Murali
Sharma
as
Varma-Sharma
tickles
the
funny
bone.
Khushbu
Sundar
is
good
while
Boman
Irani
comes
and
disappears
in
a
whisker.
Technical
Aspects
Cinematography
by
V.Manikandan
is
one
of
the
few
highlights
of
the
flick
which
captivates
the
attention
of
the
audience
throughout
the
movie
while
the
editing
is
adequate.
The
fights
could
have
been
orchestrated
much
superior
and
better
suiting
the
fan
base
and
image
of
Powerstar.
Trivikram
Srinivas,
who
has
set
his
bar
quite
high
with
his
previous
movies,
seem
to
have
slipped
a
bit
with
Agnyaathavaasi's
screenplay
and
direction.
Though
he
scores
high
with
dialogues,
his
screenwriting
and
execution
are
a
bit
of
a
nose-dive
this
time
around.
Lack
of
hero
elevation
scenes
could
be
termed
as
one
major
blow
keeping
the
commercial
aspect
of
the
movie
in
mind.
Though
there
are
a
series
of
Plan
Bs
to
win
over
various
situations
in
the
movie,
there
seem
to
be
nothing
in
real
to
woo
the
audience.
Final
Verdict
Agnyaathavaasi
is
a
decent
watch
for
Powerstar
fans
but
fails
to
impress
a
common
lot
and
especially,
for
a
PK-Trivikram
combo
fan.
