Aegan is an inspiration from Main Hoon Na – the Sharukh Starrer 4 years back if I remember correctly. I did watch Main Hoon Na then and I liked it and I watched Aegan last Saturday and I liked it too.
Aegan is definitely not a great movie, but it’s a simple movie which you can enjoy at the theatres. It’s definitely not boring and is one of those movies which are just a breezy entertainer with a little bit of masala in it. I am sure a lot of ajith fans might be disappointed since it didn’t live upto the expectations. I don’t really think that ppl expected a comedy entertainer from Ajith as the promos hinted an action packed adventure.
The first half is hilarious to say the least, while the second half is average. The regret was the way the movie ended, the last 30 minutes or so, things just happened at a rapid pace which didn’t make much sense, however I still believe it would have been worse if a lot of things were explained. So I think it was best that the director left it for us to interpret by running through the scenes of Ajith’s childhood.
I love the couple of scenes where Ajith starts singing Unnai Paartha Pinbu Naan after he meets Nayanthara. However, the big surprise was the comedy act from Jayaram. It was great and rib tickling indeed. Nayanthara is sensuous but doesn’t really have any role in the movie. I am actually amazed that most of her movies she turns out to be a virtual non existent apart from the skin shows. Navdeep and Piaa have done a reasonable job as well.
The music of the movie was ok with a couple of songs stand out (Freedom, Naan Ellarukum Friend).
Overall, if you watch the movie with no / less expectations it’s definitely worth a time pass.

Nanba..am sorry but I won't beg to differ here..I watched it last weekend as well & honestly, the less said the better. I'm no Ajith fan but to be honest, I think the quality of his movies have deteriorated much like the Aussie spin bowling department. To be honest, the ending reminded me of the 1980's tamil movie. Foster brothers reuniting the family..Aaagrhh..we have seen enough of those movies..thaangala..big letdown for Diwali..If Varanam Aiyiram had released on time, it would have kicked Aegan hands down!!
