Last June, when Bollywood Director Anurag Kashyap released his film Gangs of Wasseypur, he dedicated it to three specific directors filmmakers from Tamil cinema - Ameer, Sasikumar and Bala. He stated that the "Madurai triumvirate" was responsible for bringing him back to his grassroots and making him plot a story in a milieu that was an integral part of his life. Two of Ameer Sultan's films are believed to have hit critical acclaim for the same reason, but the director takes a turn in Aadhibhagavan and treads into commercial cinema. The results, as you might think, were predictable.
Over the past few years, South Indian cinema has produced some magical films, making way for several directors who stick to their ideologies. Considering Ameer's track record, Aadhibhagavan had every right to be something similar. The fact that people want to watch it because it is an Ameer film more than just a Jayam Ravi film tells enough about the audience expectation. This promise that was never really made will be the death of Aadhibhagavan, despite all the different things the director can try his hand at.
So this film has been in the making for two years, maybe even more. The trailers looked promising and offered some insight into the supposedly dark plot with some added romance. However, the immediate drop in Ameer's standards in evident after the first few scenes in the film. for ten minutes
