Adavi (Eng: Dense Forest) is a 2020 Tamil language film directed by G. Ramesh and starring Vinoth Kishan and Ammu Abirami in the lead roles while the producer, Sambasivam, makes his film debut in a negative role. G. Ramesh, who previously directed Kallattam (2016), signed a film featuring several new faces in addition to the main actors. The film revolves around a land problem between the rich and the natives. The film was shot in Mettukal, near Kothagiri, in 20 days in 2 schedules.
Adavi is the kind of film which is less a movie and more a message. But unlike the movies of Samuthirakani, which often seem to be on a moral high horse, this one is an earnest plea — to save our forests. If earnestness is its plus, it loses the goodwill that it earns out of it by narrating its familiar tale in a simplistic manner. It is filled with characters that we have come across in such tales — angry young men, intrepid young women, greedy landlords, lecherous forest rangers, and corrupt administrators.
