Hip Hop Aadhi Tamizhan as a teenager, gets struck by lightning in Veeranoor village, falls into a coma and is taken to Singapore for advanced treatment. 

He develops unique powers after sometime and visits his hometown after many years only to find that a shrewd businessman is planning something in his village which is harmful for residents. 

He capitalizes the belief villagers have on Veeran, a deity and couples it with his powers to stop the businessman from exploiting the people. 

However, the businessman is ruthless as hell and possesses vast knowledge in dangerous medicine. What will be the fate of innocent villagers?

Weaving a story around a plot that is set in the background of a village that has several interesting characters and coming up with a convincing tale that supports the superhero element of the protagonist is not an easy task. 

Director Saravanan manages to balance the heroic acts and comedy scenes to a large extent without diluting the effect of the former. 

Adhi pulls off the superhero character and shines in action scenes. Athira and Sassi are apt in their roles and so are other numerous characters who make notable appearances. 

The antagonist’s role essayed by Vinay Rai required more detailing. Camerawork by Deepak D Mohan is impressive. BGM by Hip Hop Aadhi is pulsating, however the songs could have been better.

Rating: 3.75/5
