Revenge dramas always hold an attraction to the average cine-goer. Retaliation or retribution stories are, in a sense, the stories of the underdog.It is delayed vigilante justice. This idea, plus some interesting suspense, makes for interesting viewing in Aathi.It is not just the hero who is bent on revenge.The heroine too is.Though the splash of gore may be slightly high, the film more than passes muster as Vijay once again seems in fine fettle.Director Ramana has also not tried anything extravagant.
Cast: Prithviraj, Sandhya, Sathyaraj

With his innocent looks, everyone thought that he could not play professional killer to good extent. But, Mahesh proved his critics wrong once again in this action drama. Though movie started as a pure action oriented, it slowly goes towards family drama. With few hiccups which are quite natural in mainstream cinema, Athadu is a must watch for Mahesh’ performance, good music and lavish production values. Kudos to Mahesh.
