Let me confess something at first, I wasn’t a fan of ‘Aadu: Oru Bheekarajeevi Aanu’ ( The first part) and so i wasn’t looking forward towards the second. Sure the first part had some catchy background scores for its quirky characters but it didn’t make me laugh neither did the wacky story line spark my interest. The recently released ‘Tharangam’ was another kind of a wacky experiment and it hooked me up, sure some of the jokes were misses but still it intrigued me. All of this leads me in saying that ‘Aadu 2’ is again another misfire ( again its a personal statement since most of the crowds seems to be lapping it up ), i don’t know why but the jokes still didn’t crack me up.

So the director/writer ‘Midhun Manuel Thomas’ again cooks up a script with lots of lowbrow comedy, lots of confusion and lots of quirkiness that made the first one somehow click. The story ( again if there was one ) involves around the newly designed 500 Rs note plate and many characters running after it. There’s again a lot happening around and i don’t know how in Gods name did the writer manage to tie it up all towards the end. Characters keeping popping up whenever they feel like in the most bewildering way possible, they go when they feel like, they fight sometimes, they get scared sometimes, heck it makes your head spin.

All these above said statements might make people think that I must leave my brains home while watching it or that this type of movie isn’t the one made for the brainy ones. But let me say something, i enjoyed ‘Kattapanyile Rithwik Roshan’ another lowbrow comedy with no sense of logic but it made me laugh, over here the jokes never work out. If you are the kind who laughs at lines like “Aaha, Dollar mattan inni America pondey, ithuknd enth cheyana”, then feel free to buy a ticket.

‘Aadu 2’ isn’t a bad movie per say , there is a lot of technical finesse involved especially with its edits and the camerawork . And its hard to keep a straight face when Vinayakan pops in as ‘DUDE’. A scene involving Sachin Cleetus ( Dharmajan) made me laugh out loud, he dresses up as ‘Ravan’ with 9 heads and the 10th head in his hand. When a police officer questions him about it he says “Pullikaran angane avshyam illathenu onnum thala idula”. Watching the rest of the movie, i felt that the jokes on us.
