played by Ajith and Sanjay (Rana) who sail in the same mission. Sanjay sacrifices
his life during the mission and media honours him for his daring battle against
the terrorism. Ashok smells something mysterious behind the death of
Sanjay and tries to find out the people involved behind it. Ashok’s
efforts are spoiled and how he takes revenge with Nayanthara and Arya forms the
crux of the story.Ajith plays the villain role in the first half of the movie
which is said to racy with many action sequences. Ajith has been always
applauded for his negative shade and Aarambam too has something which fans may
adore him in his character. Arya is equally good in the movie with his
amazing performance while Taapsee Pannu plays his love interest in the film
Aarambam. Ajith, as a one man army rides with racy action scenes in the first
half of the story Aarambam which is said to be the highlight. Ajith's dialogue
delivery and his screen presence are major highlight in the movie.The director
has given another powerful role for Ajith which he has done with perfection and
style. Ajith and Nayanthara have shared a great screen presence as
ever.
The second half of the story is predictable and
drags little but with good screenplay. The movie has excellent scenes
though some compare it with Hollywood Swordfish. Aarambam songs visual
looks pleasant to watch on screen while the BGM could have been much better. Aarambam is
expected to cash-in with decent collections at the box office in India and at
overseas on its opening first day. The film Aarambam is getting positive
word of mouth from overseas like Srilanka, Malaysia, USA and other Countries so
far.
Verdict
Overall, a racy action revenge drama with promising
storyline. Extended Diwali festive for all Ajith fans!
Rating: 3.5/5
