The film goes to a climax with some more twists in the middle and I won't slaughter your anxiety by telling the story. Avatharam received mixed reviews first and at box office it was not a success. From the usual track of comedy Dileep had changed to some serious roles and this time the viewers abandoned him absolutely and first half entertainment scenery by Dileep is the only memorable thing in mind. The rest is only duplication of some other films and the he himself have acted in such films many times and it is a good example that people won't suffer too much replication or over actions. Regarding the actress her role is very limited and nothing to do with, except to go with him in song sequences with traditional and modern clothes. The one important social message it conveys is that either a lady or gent we should not be afraid to face the law for the execution of our rights and if we are right, justice will be rewarded.
