The protagonist (Jiiva), an art director who suffers a great loss as a result of the postponement of a shoot, is at the center of the Pondicherry-set movie.  He falls victim to a financial dilemma as his mother (Rohini) is suffering from cancer.  With no other choice, he turns the filming location into a "Horror House," and shortly after, large people begin to arrive.  

As Jiiva, his fiancée (Raashi Khanna), and his friends begin to experience success, they begin to notice strange things happening in the house.  A terrible mystery begins to develop as an intriguing sequence of twists and turns starts when Jiiva and Raashi Khanna discover an old film reel and meet a new character: a doctor (Action king Arjun).

It's wonderful to see how masterfully lyricist Pa. Vijay has managed a tidy plot with impressive production value.  Particular attention should be paid to the way he has developed the plot, the characters in various eras, and the connections between them.  The tale becomes less compelling by the second half, despite the first half being told in a standard horror-comedy fashion.  The flashback scenes and the introduction of Arjun's character are very captivating.  Neither the Jiiva-Raashi Khanna love moments nor the few comic bits captivate us.  Actually, a sharper appearance would result from deleting a few of them.
 
The english actors Matyida and Edward Sonneblick are particularly noteworthy for their skill.  Edward, the adversary, in particular, evokes the greatest terror with his fierce demeanor.  Pa Vijay, the director, has attempted to highlight the beauty of traditional tamil medicine, which provides a permanent remedy for any condition.  It's also noteworthy that there have been a few additional unexpected discoveries regarding how a certain plant might deter wild elephant attacks.
 
The last thirty minutes of Jiiva, Arjun, and Edward's professionally done visuals are nicely accompanied by Yuvan shankar Raja's remix of "Fur Elise."  He let us down with the tunes, though, since all save the remix of "En iniya Pan Nilave" by Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja are unimpressive.
 
 Overall, Aghathiyaa is a mediocre program with a few intriguing moments, but its effect is lessened by the humor episodes and the few romantic parts of the current context.  Jiiva doesn't do anything particularly noteworthy in this picture; instead, Action king Arjun steals the show.

Overall, A Watchable horror Comedy Without Any Expectations
