      Bhagavan: To forgive when someone asks for forgiveness, I'm not that Bhagavan/God.

      [pointing at himself]

      Bhagavan: Mumbai's Bhagavan!

    • Crazy credits
      During end credit the director appears as a cameo in a song.
    • Alternate versions
      The theatrical release received a total of 24 cuts in order to be cleared with an A (adults only) certificate. These cuts included removal of several cuss words, addition of anti-smoking disclaimers, deletion of scenes showing currency and passport burning, some lyrics in a song, a few scenes of violence and most importantly, the changing of film's title from Aadhi Bhagavan to Ameerin Aadhi-Bhagavan (to denote two characters as Aadhibhagavan is the name of a God) and the heroine's name from Kaali to Rani. A disclaimer about fiction was also added.

    Gangster flick
    I went to the cinema hall expecting a total badass gangsta flick,did i get what i wanted?yeah, to some extent.Ameer who has previously made movies like Ram and Paruthiveeran experiments with a full blown commercial flick.

    Aadhi Shanmugam is a gangster based in Bangkok,he earns the wrath of Rao brothers of Andhra Pradesh after he steals their stash posing as a CBI officer.Gradually he falls out with his boss Mr.Shyam , and everyone including his former boss and Rao brothers want him dead.Meanwhile he falls for a waitress and follows her to Mumbai.What happens next is the interesting part of the story.

    This movie is by far the best movie of jayam ravi,he convincingly pulls of both the roles of aadhi and bhagavan.Neetu chandra has acted well too.There appears to be a few open ends but maybe the director has plans for a sequel.
