Jayasurya, Saiju Kuruppu, Srinda AshabDirection: Midhun Manuel ThomasGenre: ComedyDuration: 2 hours 10 minutes
Story: A group of friends set out to celebrate their victory in a tug-of-war competition with their prize, a she-goat.
Review: Aadu Oru Bheekarajeeviyanu is proof to the fact that no amount of style, brilliant camera angles or even acting talent can cover up the lack of a coherent story and well-developed characters. Expectations were high on Aadu, as its director and scriptwriter Midhun Manuel Thomas' debut script was that of the simple, funny, and much enjoyable Ohm Shanti Oshana. However, the best way to describe Aadu, especially its second half, would be - all sound and fury, signifying nothing.
The first few scenes of Aadu build expectations, with a motley gang of friends led by Shaji Pappan (Jayasurya) setting out to celebrate their victory in a tug-of-war competition with their prize, a she-goat. Unfortunately, Shaji hates women after his wife left him for his driver, and is not happy with having a she-goat in his van. The journey paves the way for a lot of humour and the first half of the film is watchable.
However, the second half makes you wonder for a moment if you are watching the same film, for suddenly, the goat and even Shaji Pappan is nowhere in the picture, while gangsters, the bane of 'new age Malayalam cinema' enter the scene in hordes. New characters keep appearing, and at points, you start losing track of the storyline.
