Review of Ayodhi

Ayodhi (2023)
5/10
A story that needed to be told
15 April 2023
Ayothi was a story that needed to be told to reinforce the power of brotherly love. Sasikumar's performance, regretfully, fell really flat but at least the rest of the cast was there to support him

DELICIOUS

-We tip our hats to Preethi Asrani (playing Shivani) and Master Advaith Vino (playing Sonu). They unapologetically stole the show! They were completely immersed in their role; the look in their eyes and body language expressed anguish, agony, anger, and misery as they were grieving their mother and fighting to go back home. They almost made us cry

-Ayothi emphasized the need for philanthropy in today's times. The film accentuated the importance of being humane and having compassion toward one another despite the barriers of language, ethnicity, and status

-Great work on the cast selection especially when it came to the family members. Plus, the people who pitched in to help them played their part well by displaying the desire to assist despite their tight circumstances

BLAND

---Cinema aside, Sasikumar looks more like a teacher than an actor 🙃 In terms of acting, he was just there, no emotion, no passion. Looks like he simply showed up on set and shot his scenes

-Ayothi was presented like a documentary, it laid out the different steps needed to be done before flying the woman's body back and the rest of the scenario just went stage by stage.

We already knew what the final outcome would be, it was just a matter of how the characters would get there. Hence, the lack of suspense/thrill didn't keep us glued to our seats.
