Cheers! Suriya, Vadivelu and Harris Jayaraj

Aadhavan relies greatly on the performances of Suriya and Vadivelu. It boasts of a huge star cast who are not given much scope to perform due to the storyline. Since the story is weak, K.S. Ravikumar has scripted the screenplay depending entirely on the comedy and music. Aadhavan is a musical treat ...(more)

Aadhavan is clean fun.

The man of the movie is certainly K S Ravikumar, though. He's added a slick gloss to his usual masala quotient. Aadhavan is uncomplicated, clean, fun, and doesn't expect you to take it seriously.

Agile, active and attractive.

'Aadhavan' is nothing but a rehash of several yesteryear flicks but the USP is the racy script by Ravikumar, who mesmerizes the audience with quick narration. All credits to Suriya, he has proved that he can excel in mass masala ventures too. Vadivelu occupies maximum screen space to bring the roof ...(more)
