Sajeev is assaulted by two thugs on the newlyweds’ wedding day, which disrupts the couple’s plans. Sajeev was publicly humiliated as a result of the situation escalating into a physical brawl. As opposed to his much more level-headed wife Geethika, who counsels them to let it go and move on, Sajeev, unable to let it go, is obsessed over the happenings of that day.
You can see in Adi how Sajeev was affected by this incident and how his response had an effect on their marriage. Will Sajeev be able to let it go, or will he allow it to ruin his chances of finding happiness?
It’s encouraging to witness a performer of Shine Tom Chacko’s talent portray a key role. Shine gives the fragile rendition of Sajeev’s song his trademark Tom Chacko performance. With every minor gesture and action, he transforms into a persona unlike his typically eccentric ones, causing even the most uninterested audience to understand Sajeev’s anguish.
Ahaana Krishna performed with sincerity. Perhaps the only elements that were consistent with the viewpoint of the audience were her character and performance. Dhruvan appeared convincing in the tough act as the major antagonist Joby Varghese alias Vellappattar.
The opening of Adi by Prasobh Vijayan contains a disclaimer stating that the movie is based on hundreds of genuine stories. Because the fragile male ego is the subject of this movie’s fundamental conflict, you know it’s true a few minutes into the movie. These films about the masculine ego are currently quite popular in Malayalam cinema.
The movie Adi begins with the event that gave rise to its name—a brawl. The suspense is maintained throughout the movie, but Adi eventually loses the conviction that it seems to have been built on. This expectation of retribution or something that might be a worthy substitute for it is what propels the flimsy plot ahead, and there aren’t many other parts that diverge from this main worry.
It actually only has enough content for a gripping short film, as shown in the places where the plot drags on pointlessly to keep the movie from ending before the surprise that’s in store.
The intimacy between the major leads was well-captured by Prasobh Vijayan. His distinctive components can be heard throughout Govind Vasantha’s score. As they clearly portray the awkwardness of newlyweds, Shine and Ahaana have good chemistry.
