Prabha then kills Mavattam too and finally proceeds to Chozan with the reason why he has killed all your people? with the usual, guessable ,lazy plot.
Strengths
Aadhi as Prabha and ayyanar shines well. He has improved his modulation,body language ,good at stunts & sentiments too. Major responsibility shouldered on him as he does it with ease. Meera nandan is good but not enough scope to perform. Santhanam tickles you has his scenes are also restricted.
Thaman this time scored in songs as well as the BGM too. " Aathadi","pani" is icy melody doesn't forget to entertain the front benchers with" kuthu kuthu". Photography fills the bill of commercial scope. Editing is okay. Stunts are quite natural without rope lifts. Rajamithran scores in keeping the secret till the end which maintains the tempo of the audience.
Weakness
Never mind logic..In the crowd of police and family, as they suspect Aadhi is killer, he just goes in cool way. easily getting into rowdy gang without any doubts...Suspense is kept well, but it is sad ,,, falls on usual plot when it is revealed. could have piled up some interesting quotient in the movie. Comedy scenes are pretty dull even with Santhanam.
Ayyanar is just another average commercial flick
Verdict:3/10( 1 for Aadhi, 1 for Thaman music, 1 for photography, and stunts)
Movie canvas punch: Ayyanar .... lets you down
