Aadai, once again, emphasises ‘woman is the biggest enemy of woman’. One of the most anticipated movie, prank show, she decides to prove them wrong.

Aadai Movie Review. After an impressive start, in the second half, Aadai goes off track. Some of them are a nuisance.” In particular, watch out for this scene where Kamini tells a male friend, “If I choose to sit on your bike, it doesn’t mean I love you. She finds Kamini passed out in the restroom and her friend Jennifer passed out as well.

First comes the voyeur who spots the naked girl from a mile across in another building. There's a generous addition of double-meaning dialogues, and some genuinely bring a smile to your face. For all the latest Entertainment News, download Indian Express App. The second half, which is when the film gains momentum, is replete with them. The television company gets shifted out of its high rise building and the five friends decide to have a mini rave party in the empty office floor that night. The cinematography, background score and other technical departments have been handled quite well.

In a nutshell, it’s the story of free-spirited Kamini (Amala Paul), who goes back to her original name, Suthanthira Kodi.

She runs into the bathroom and shuts the door.

She drinks, smokes a joint, and hangs out with male co-workers at odd hours... all this much to the chagrin of her rooted-in-tradition mother (Sriranjini). Aadai (Tamil) (aka) Aadai is a Tamil movie. Aadai, starring Amala Paul in the lead, is finally out in theatres.

The controversial nude scene has been shot rather aesthetically and comes across as an integral part of the plot.

Let me borrow a few words from Vadivelu to explain my dilemma: it is a film whose building is strong but the basement is weak! Kamini is Amala Paul's career-best and she has pushed the boundaries in every aspect such as nailing live sound, racing a bike like a pro and last but not the least is letting another actress hog the limelight in the climax and score over herself.

Her confident body language and flawless expressions add a new dimension to the movie, upping its recall value in a big way. This is actually a metaphor. Then, there are those little things. We are shown how helpless she feels running here and there fearing strangers’ eyes peeping into her naked self. Aadai is an Amala Paul show throughout.
