| Picture Credit score: Particular Association
All the pieces is in your face proper from the start in debutant Nahas Nazar’s Adios Amigo, particularly the working theme of the distinction between the haves and have-nots. A lot in order that one would anticipate one thing extra to this unending and aimless journey of over 160 minutes with two aimless males. However, all we’re left with are the few issues the movie repeatedly throws at us proper from the start.
Two males from totally different backgrounds and conditions meet at a bus station and start an impromptu journey, the vacation spot of which retains shifting as they go alongside. The makers, for some mysterious motive, select to disclose their names solely ultimately. Whereas the poor man (Suraj Venjaramoodu) is making an attempt desperately to get some cash to handle his mom’s hospital bills, the wealthy man (Asif Ali) has left dwelling with a pocketful of cash to go round on one more aimless journey of continuous ingesting and banter with nearly any random particular person he comes throughout.
Adios Amigo (Malayalam)
Director: Nahas Nazar
Solid: Suraj Venjaramoodu, Asif Ali, Anagha
Runtime: 160 minutes
Storyline: Two males from starkly totally different backgrounds meet up by likelihood at a bus stand and embark on an aimless journey collectively
Proper from the setup, it was inevitable that these two males would journey and stick collectively until the top. However, simply to maintain the journey going, the poor man who inexplicably goes on this journey whilst his mom is within the hospital, doesn’t reveal his must the moneyed man till late into the day. All this, regardless of being with him whilst he throws his cash round to anybody he meets on the best way.
Thankam, who wrote the screenplay for Kettyolaanu Ente Malakha, comes up with a script by which nothing occurs for prolonged phases. There are lengthy bus journeys, boat journeys, and an extended evening’s keep at a lodge, however nothing essential happens in any of those, even because the tried humour lands solely often. The one substantial occasion amid all that is their assembly with a textile store worker (Anagha), which sheds gentle on the wealthy man’s previous and provides the uncommon emotional contact in a film freed from any such factor. Apart from this, the one factor we learn about him until the top is that he has been fairly a headache for all the household, splurging all the cash he bought from his father.
By the top, we surprise what the movie was making an attempt to convey because the director stretches a brief movie materials. Adios Amigo might have been a humourous and profound work on inequality and its manifestations in actual life. Nevertheless, regardless of such aspirations, it finally ends up being a tedious, over-stretched movie that fails to excite.
