Review of Ayogya

Ayogya is the remake of the Telugu film "Temper". It features Vishal in the lead role and has Parthiepan playing the antagonist. Well, this is the first time that I see Vishal playing a grey shade role. He is a corrupted police officer and with so many flaws. His only desire in life is money, money, and money. Vishal's performance in this film seems to be the only breathing element that keeps us driving along with him. The other supporting actors have nothing more than accusing Vishal's Karnan for his bad deeds or encourage him to go further. Parthiepan who enjoyed a very interesting negative role in Naanum Rowdy Dhaan seems to have not so much to do in this film. Ayogya has unnecessary subplots and deviating songs which reduces the pace of the film. The not so interesting first half seems to have a better second half. In fact, Ayogya's main strength lies in the second half where the film changes its color. We are getting more serious and we get what we need from the film. There are so many things that are happening through the narration and Vishal's transformation from the corrupted police officer to the reforming responsible police officer shines brightly in this middling action film. Sam C.S's soundtrack doesn't add anything to the film but his background score is worth it. As a director, Venkat Mohan packaged Ayogya with the usual commercial elements and a very strong and sincere social message. Honestly, the climax is the place where Ayogya becomes unique and refreshing. The intense dialogues and the bold performance of Vishal seems to lift that special portion to a new extent. Overall, the surprising and hard-hitting climax makes Ayogya a watchable entertainer.
