Movie Review : Aazhi
Murthy (Sarathkumar) is a boat repairman who also indulges in traficcing narcotics and guns on the seas. He has a daughter Mukhila (Devika Satheesh) whom he dearly loves. But one day when he discovers she is in love with Arul ( Jagajith Indirajith) a young man working in a petrol bunk, he is deeply angry. He kidnaps the boy on his boat and tortures him mid sea and attempts to kill him. He almost succeeds when a tragedy strikes. What happens to both of them? The movie is shot mostly on the boat. Dialogues are not that many and the situations and expressions do most of the talking. The scenes on mid sea in the storm add to the thrilling and suspenseful moments. However, the torture scenes are hard to watch and get a tad too gory. Sarathkumar plays a loving dad who will go to any extreme, a character with grey shades and he does do very credibly, carrying the film on his shoulders. His rugged look and body build further add to the portrayal of the character. ...
