Aegan

Commissioner Nasser and his department are hunting for evidence to nab pharmaceutical tycoon John Chinnappa (Suman) for his life-threatening adulteration in medicines and other illegal activities. Ramprasad (Devan), Chinnappa's closest friend and partner in crime, turns approver and is on his way to testify against him in court. Along with the policemen protecting him, he is attacked by Chinnappa's men but manages to escape. The Commissioner, frustrated about the security measures of his men, hands over the task of finding and arresting Ramprasad to his son Siva (Ajith), a brave and honest CID officer. To carry out this mission, Siva is ordered to join a college in Ooty disguised as a student where Ramprasad's daughter Pooja (Piya) is a student. The Commissioner plans to arrest Ramprasad when he visits his daughter. After enrolling as a student, Siva tries to become friendly with Pooja and her gang to know where her father is hiding. In the meanwhile, he also gets to romance Mallika (Nayantara), a professor at the same college. The twist in the tale comes when Siva comes to know that he is an orphan, finding this bitter truth from his long-lost mother (Suhasini) and his brother Narain (Navdeep). The remaining plot revolves around how he finds Ramprasad, who then leads him to Chinnappa

The cinematography (credits shared by quite a few) is breathtaking. While Piyaa and Navdeep are passable, the show-stealers are Nayanathara (thanks to her curves) and Jayaram (playing the bumbling college principal provoking quite a few laughs). ... Full Review

Comments Nice movie......the script and the characterizations lack the punch.....engrossing screenplay to a story that was made success in Hindi (Main Hoon Na).....has an enticing onscreen chemistry, too much of songs spoil the flow of the proceedings.....The comedy by Jayaram, Sathyan, and Haneefa provides us with some hilarious moments..... ...

No film is perfect and Aegan is no exception. Like the proverbial curate's egg, the film is good in parts. It is Diwali time, and if you want to have a crackling time at the movies, then Aegan is fun unlimited (till the interval). ... Full Review
