Surya plays a student who turns down a scholarship in the US and takes a plunge into politics.
Her outbursts at Madhavan and desperate attempts to set his life right deserve special mention. It's a mature display by Meera Jasmine too. Both quarrel often, but make it up on bed. He lives in a Chennai slum with wife Meera Jasmine who wants him to give up his bad ways. Madhavan's daring decision to play a negative character, who gets beaten up black and blue at the end, putting his 'hero' image in peril, has paid off, as he walks away with top honours.
#AAYUTHA EZHUTHU REVIEW MOVIE#
In the first part, the movie revolves around Madhavan, the ruffian who does not mind doing anything for money and power and cares a hoot for the consequences of his actions. Madhavan is a local ruffian who works for an influential politician, Surya a society-conscious college student who advocates students entering politics to cleanse it of corruption and Siddharth, a student who aspires to fly to the US in search of greener pastures. And then life undergoes a sea change for the three. Madhavan, Surya and Siddharth are completely unaware of each other's existence until they cross path one day.
The story revolves around three youths with different perspectives towards life. The film, apparently an inspiration from Spanish film-maker Alexandra Gonsalez's Amores Perros, stands out for its unique script amid the run-of-the-mill stuff of the times, and its excellent handling by the director, but does not stand comparison to his earlier ventures like Nayakan, Roja or Bombay. Slow take-off and lag in narration make Ayudha Ezhuthu a disappointment for the craftsman's fans who always expect a masterpiece from him. It's dotted with the typical Maniratnam touch, lively and entertaining, but shorn of pace, fails to make the 'Mani grade'.
