Movie review: Aavesham (2024)

Figure 1, view larger image

Aavesham is a different beast altogether with Fahadh running riot as the gangster adorned in bling, and with a habit of sharing his dance reels. We see Rangan through the eyes of three Malayali students — Aju (Hipster), Bibi (J.S.Mithun) and Shanthan (Roshan Shanavas) — in Bengaluru, who are frequenting seedy bars with the intention of gaining some “local support” to take revenge on their seniors who bashed them up.

The scenes leading up to Rangan’s introduction and the slow reveal of his true stature are a scream. And, to build up on this character, there is Rangan’s sidekick Ambaan (Sajin Gopu) with a wealth of humorous and scary stories on him that he narrates as if he has witnessed them, but one is always left with an element of doubt about their spoofy nature. Rangan is the kind of character that mainstream stars have essayed in the past, but Fahadh gives it a spin of his own and runs uninhibitedly wild with it, like a kid left to his own in the household

The youngsters, some of whom are social media stars, as well as Sajin, stand their own amid Fahadh’s one-man show. But no female character, not even a girl from the campus (that gets prominent focus in the film) gets substantial presence. The only memorable one happens to be Bibi’s mother who asks “Are you happy?” to anyone who talks to her on the phone. It also presents to us a rare insight into Rangan’s personality, which is mostly hidden from us owing to the sketchy writing which throws more attention to the flashy exteriors.
