There are some movies that are pure madness and there are few movies which have method to the madness. Aavesham falls in that second category which is not something you'd usually find. Mollywood has kept on producing some quality movies with unique concepts in the last few years and Aavesham is the latest addition to the list but with some extreme fun thrown in which isn't an easy thing to do.
Buddy comedy, college/teen drama, action, mass entertainment, sentiment and satire. Aavesham pretty much ticks almost all of these boxes. This is a classic example of a movie with a very thin storyline but excels pretty much in all other departments. The screenplay is tight and crisp, the dialogues are brilliant and exceptionally unique. Costume department seems like they are having fun and the biggest strength of this movie is its music by Sushin Shyam. The background score elevates many scenes to a different level and there are many catchy tunes including an exceptional rap song for Fahadh Faasil's character. Movie's crisp editing compliments its cinematography and this movie is a clear example of not needing exotic locations or expensive shots as long as you have a great screenplay. One can almost clearly guess what happens next for most parts of the movie and yet not feel disappointed with it because of this film's execution. Set in the city of Bengaluru, this movie is relatable to both Malayalis and Kannadigas alike for different elements. The movie perfectly touches upon and also throws in satire at Instagram trends, star worship, gang wars and identity crisis of an individual. Although one cannot point a finger exactly where, the movie tends to lag a little bit in the second half.
The biggest strength of this movie is its characters. Fahadh Faasil as don/gangster Ranga is a treat to watch. You can totally see the madness coming from his character and yet he adds some kind of surprise element to it making it very enjoyable. His Kannada-Malayalam mix dialogue delivery is commendable and I also feel most of it is improvised. It is definitely hard to write such dialogues! I wouldn't mind an individual Ranga spin-off movie. He excels in his both present and past looks in the movie. The debutants who play the three important roles in the movie as Aju, Bibi and Shanthan are brilliant and I expect a bright future ahead for all of them. Sajin Gopu as Amban as Ranga's loyal sidekick reminds you of some characters from 90s movies with the added coolness to his role. There are many other debutant supporting characters who deserve all the appreciation for adding to the total chaos fun for this film.
Aavesham is definitely one of the most entertaining movies I have seen in recent times. This movie is testament to the fact that the teen/college comedy can still be fun without being cringe or boring.
