Agilan Movie Review
Agilan Tamil movie Review
The first noteworthy aspect of Agilan by N Kalyanakrishnan is that it is a focused movie. The story, which takes place in and around a harbour, begins in the very first frame. How Agilan (Jayam Ravi), the movie's crane operator/henchman/hero, cunningly advances to become the "King of the Indian Ocean," is what we see in the first half. This is the title given to someone in charge of overseeing the transshipment of products, both legal and illicit. Agilan doesn't follow any rules, and his only concern is climbing the ladder to the top.
We've always had these one-man army tales, but with KGF, the parallels to that movie are glaring. In several aspects, Agilan's first half is similar to KGF. Agilan doesn't directly borrow its execution style from KGF, unlike the recent Michael, which felt like a poor imitation of KGF.
However, when you see a ruthless, enraged young man ascend to the top, leaving his bosses in the dust, you can't help but make comparisons. But despite being focused, Agilan has the problem of being neither intriguing nor exciting.
None of the characters—aside from the protagonist—even make an impression on you.There isn't much control over the events in the first half, save from the sequence just before the break. The film suffered greatly from dubbed difficulties and performances from the non-Tamil speaking actors.
When the real plot starts to fall apart in the second half, you hope that things will start to get better.
Rest assured that Agilan won't actually be about a bad guy rising to the top, coming from someone who had made Bhooloham and is from the school of the late S. P. Jananathan. In the second half, the hero's motivation is revealed through a clear-cut flashback.
There are, however, only a few flashes of success, exactly like in the first half. For a movie that lasts two hours and fifteen minutes, the climax seems to drag on forever.
This is true even when there aren't any popular deviances like humour or romance.The problem, once more, is that you are not genuinely engaged by what is happening on screen.
As a result, the turns, revelations of intentions, and backhanders from important people never elicit the level of reaction they should.
Also, the loud score occasionally turns you off. The conversation in the film's conclusion introduces the idea of how the system truly works, making it simpler to sneak products across borders than to save starving people.
But without this discussion, it's unclear if this message would have been the movie's main point. This is due to the fact that, despite spending more than two hours in the waterfront environment, we don't really acquire a feel of how things function.
Agilan doesn't turn out to be a hero-driven action movie or a movie with a message. As always, Jayam Ravi is sincere and works to maintain your interest. Yet the rest of the group doesn't offer much assistance.
Bottomline:
Despite being concentrated, Agilan lacks intrigue and excitement. Sadly, only the background music is audible; the message should have been loud and clear.
