Aavesham OTT release: Aavesham’s opening credit reads, 'Reintroducing FaFa' - truer words have never been spoken. This is Fahadh Faasil’s most masala film ever and the actor has gone all out in the film with unbridled enthusiasm. He disappears into the flamboyant gangster Ranga, showcasing the character's eccentricities and quirks flawlessly. That Fahadh is a delight on screen is a known fact, but this reintroduced version is a riot as an unpredictable gangster who elevates director Jithu Madhavan's film to pure, unadulterated madness. We have seen FaFa as Shammi in Kumbalangi Nights, but Ranga is another beast altogether. 

There are many good things in the film - Sajin Gopu shines as Ranga’s aide, Sushin Shyam’s terrific music and Jithu’s tight direction make it a perfect gangster comedy, barring a few lagging moments in the second half where as an audience you get distracted. But we are here to witness FaFa supremacy. Every scene with him is a delight to watch as you have never seen him this uninhibited, this gloriously unhinged. 

If we were to discuss what makes Aavesham a near-perfect gangster comedy, at least the first six out of ten reasons would belong solely to Fahadh Faasil. His performance is the undisputed heart and soul of the film.  

So here are six FaFa reasons to watch Aavesham: 

1. Fahadh as fun-loving, dancing reel-making Ranga 

Forget six-pack abs! In the now-famous towel scene, Fahadh Faasil throws convention out the window. Wrapped in a towel, he dances on the screen with such infectious swagger that his lack of sculpted physique becomes irrelevant; his sheer joy in the dance translates directly to the audience. 

In the viral pillar scene, Fahadh switches between playful joy and anger, all with an innocence that gives us a glimpse of the child within him craving for the world's approval and yearning for connection. 

2. Fahadh as emotional Ranga 

The first scene where you can see Ranga’s emotional vulnerability is when Bibi’s mother (Mithun Jai Shankar) calls him and Ranga picks up the phone. The conversation with his mother shows Ranga’s emotional side which Fahadh beautifully depicts with his eyes. FaFa’s expressive eyes have a fanbase of their own. 

The most-talked-about flashback scene  
Now coming to the most-talked-about scene of the film, where Ranga’s past life is summed up in a few seconds. Director Jithu Madhavan has ditched the cliche flashback and reflected on Ranga’s past by relying solely on Fahadh’s exceptional acting in that particular scene. And the actor has delivered and how! Fahadh’s performance captures Ranga’s raw emotion, his pain, and the weight of his past. Fans have been going gaga over his brilliance in the scene.

3. Fahadh as an intense, fearsome Ranga 

During a seemingly lighthearted game of dumb charades, Ranga’s frustration starts as Bibi fails to guess the film even after several attempts. What starts as playful exasperation gradually morphs into anger, rage that he is capable of even with the people he considers close. This sudden shift is a reminder of the unpredictable nature lurking beneath Ranga's surface. Once again FaFa reigns in the scene. 

4. Doing fight sequences with Elan 

Throughout Aavesham, we hear tales of Ranga's bravery, narrated by his loyal aide. The way these stories are recounted leaves a seed of doubt in the three boys as well as the audience’s minds, making it hard to separate fact from fiction. 

However, all skepticism vanishes the moment Ranga confronts Reddy and his gang. The scene explodes into a high-octane action sequence that is done by Fafa with Elan. The anger and betrayal in Ranga’s eyes while fighting the gang make the audience erupt in thunderous applause. 

5. Fahadh going all out in the last scene with Ranga’s emotional outburst 

In the last scene, Ranga, the flamboyant gangster, the center of attention, crumbles under the weight of betrayal. Fahadh Faasil delivers a scene-stealing performance, peeling back the layers of Ranga to reveal a man grappling with profound emotional vulnerability and loneliness. The way his face changes seeing his aides and trying to keep a tough exterior even as he crumbles within, the way Faasil shifts from explosive anger to forced stoicism as he interacts with Bibi's mother. He uses his entire physical and emotional range to paint a picture of a man wrestling with betrayal, a profound sense of loneliness, and a desperate yearning for connection. Fahadh Faasil's performance in this scene is a masterclass in emotional expression.

6. Fahadh Faasil captures young Ranga's essence 

Though there are only one or two scenes featuring him as young Ranga and the character has been presented as a tease, Faasil manages to capture the essence of the character in his younger years with his body language. The character is quite the opposite of the flamboyant Ranga, he is silent, violent, and has different body language which the actor has successfully captured.

Special mention to Fahadh looking million dollar as young Ranga with that hairstyle.
