Asuravadham  Review



Star Cast : Sasikumar, Vasumithra, Nandita Swetha
Director : Marudhapandian

Director Marudhapandian's sophomore film Asuravadham is a socially relevant action thriller, which is smartly packaged with good thrills. Film making is not just about having an unique story and dialogues, as the execution matters a lot. For a Tamil revenge action thriller, Asuravadham has set a new standard.

One fine day, Samayan(Vasumithra) a provison shop owner and a local thug gets a lot of missed calls that he loses patience. Finally, the stranger(Sasikumar) talks over the phone and tells Samayan that the nightmare will continue for another one week only to end his life. In the next seven days, the stranger follows Samayan and pressurize him to plead for his life but why?

We have seen thousands of revenge thrillers in Tamil cinema but Asuravadham stands unique, in terms of its treatment and execution. Throughout the film, Sasikumar's silence speaks louder than his words (for an actor who speak pages of dialogues in his films, this is a giant leap), he scores with his expressions, his thirst for vengeance and his fearless eyes are well justified with a backstory. Any more detailing on the plot would affect the movie watching experience! Nanditha Swetha hardly has a role, and Vasumithra as villain is top class.

Govind Vasanth is a welcome new addition to Tamil cinema, as his background score elevates each and every sequence because the dialogues are very minimal here. Dhilip Subbarayan has choreographed realistic stunt sequences to convey the pain of the protagonist. Yes, there is blood shed but the plot and screenplay completely justifies it. We have seen SR Kathir's camera travel along with the characters in Subramaniapuram, he has once again repeated the magic in Asuravadham.

Kathir's long shot in the climax is a masterclass stuff, as his camera effortlessly run behind the characters in chase sequences.

Overall, Asuravadham is an intelligent revenge thriller with hard hitting moments and is a must watch!
