Cinematography is good and all the songs are well-shot in the beautiful locations. Yuvan Shankar Raja’s background score is appealing. Dialogues are fine. Ameer’s direction is very good.

Production values are standard.
Analysis
Ameer in Aadhi Bhagavan is an action entertainer but the storyline is new to Kollywood. The script had few clichés in the first half while the execution is outstanding. Director Ameer’s hard work can be seen clearly on screen and he has done more than decent job. Jayam Ravi’s character initially was designed well and it justifies the title as the protagonist loves taking risks, challenges with loads of bravery. First half though having some slow pace, the interval block of the movie is really appealing. Second half of the movie is really well executed and Jayam Ravi steals the entire show with his performance. The climax is abrupt and extremely predictable.
Final Verdict
Ameer in Aadhi Bhagavan - A complete action thriller that will keep you stick to the edge of the seats…
