Reasons to watch Aashaan in theatres

Simple plot that has a 'movie in a movie' theme

Ambitious filmmaker Anand can only work with hitmaker KRS by arranging a circular flat as the set for the latter's upcoming directorial. He begs his friend who lives in such a building to help, but the friend connects him with Aashaan, a popular local who wants to work in films. Because they both enjoy films, the two immediately become friends, but they also face some of the difficulties in the business. The film's focus is if this is their only chance to make a name for themselves in the film industry.

Indrans' stellar performance

Plot that explores cinema in a realistic way

Another of Aashaan's most striking features is its examination of the realities in the world of cinema without referring to any specific industry. The director makes fun of the common issues of ego conflict and hypocrisy that often influence the result of an artwork. Instead of using excessive amounts of sarcasm, these parts are told in a humorous way.

Other performances in Aashaan

Anand's portrayal by Joemon Jyothir frees him from the comedian stereotype. Shobi Thilakan as KRS and Bibin Perumbilli as Superstar Karan Chanth are the real finds. Kanakam as Violet Aunty also bring in comedy in the movie. Even though they play minor parts, the entire ensemble performs a good job.
