Cast & Crew : Amala Paul, Ramya Subramanian
Director : Rathna Kumar.Aadai is the brutal horror movie directed by Rathnakumar who has given a romantic love story "Meeyatha Maan".
Aadai begins by narrating the story of Nangeli, a woman from an oppressed community who protested against Breast Tax, a sickening practice of asking women from the oppressed communities to pay if they wanted to cover their breasts. She runs a prank show 'Thoppi' that makes fun of unassuming people in a relentless manner (in one of the pranks, she dresses up as Harley Quinn, the lunatic super villain, that might be considered as Kamini's alter ego).
The film's initial moments were portraying more into the dynamic between Kamini and her bunch who runs the prank show. But things take a mad turn when they attempt to spend a night on the workplace which is vacant. A drug-fuelled trip ensues, only to discover that in the next day, Kamini is left to fend for herself. The film unfolds like a literal nightmare where an individual has to battle out her vulnerability. The element of a survival thriller kicks in as we are engulfed into racy moments.
Kamini gets pushed to her limits, where she catches the eye of a lecherous man from a distant building. The film throws hurdle after hurdle and the constructs mirror the partly-sadistic nature of Kamini too, that was reflected during the prank show scenes. The film scrutinizes the protagonist by putting her in tougher hurdles.
Overall the movie seems to be watchable - 4/5
