Review

Story

A film shooting crew go deep into forest but they lose the contact from outer world and also the way to return back. Sharman Kapoor (Goutham Rude) is the popular film star who keeps on showing his airs on his colleagues. Sujan (Nithin) is the Assistant Director of the movie who loves Asha (Priyanka Kothari), the heroine in the crew.

Murthy (Ishrat Ali) is the producer of the movie who speaks Hindi in his typical Tamil accent. Along with them a director JJ (Harvey), forest guide Sethu (Joy) a spot boy Laxman (Istheyak), Sameera (Rasika), an action director (Ravi Kale) and a cameraman walk through the forest.

They find each one among them getting killed by a mystic predator. At last two would remain alive. But the secret of predator is left unknown for audience. The word ‘Coming Soon Adavi 2’ flashes on screen!

This unbaked product is RGV’s ‘Adavi’ (released in Hindi as Agyaat).

Artists Performance:

Nithin:

He looked macho and perfectly in tune with young Bollywood actors. He has good future in Bollywood as well, if he concentrates more on his dance, expressions and picking up right stories. Adavis may not give oxygen for him.

Priyanka Kothari:

She looked better than that of her previous movies. She portrayed enough oomph and sufficient expressions wherever required.

Ishrat Ali:

He entertained in first half with his Hindi that rolls on Tamil tongue

Goutham Rode:

He has shown his muscular body and carried on his role up to requirement

Others are perfectly in sync with the requirement. Ishteyak entertained well with his ‘jai matha di’ episode. Ravi Kale is ok in stunt master role.

Technical Team:

There is nothing big to speak about technical team except Camera work and Sound. Editing is also crisp and clear. Direction is not a big deal here and any fresher can make this sort of film.

Highlights:

Excellent Camera Work
Hair raising sound

Disappointments:

No freshness in narration
No enough hilarious moments for cushioning
No big horror elements as required
No Priyanka Kothari’s bikini act that was used for publicity
