Aithe Storyline

Irfan Khan (Pavan Malhotra) is a key mafia affiliate in Mumbai. Khan is on the wanted list of criminals in Hyderabad with a bounty of 50 lakhs. Aiming to migrate to Dubai so that he could remotely control the operations in Mumbai, Khan devised a plan of hijacking a plane from Hyderabad to Kathmandu. His plan consisted of getting four of his own men to hijack a domestic flight from Hyderabad to Kathmandu(destined for Mumbai) in which he is a passenger. The home minister is also in the flight, and the four men are to release all the passengers and concentrate on the Home minister. From Kathmandu, he planned to go to Dubai. For the hijack operation, he organised a group of four intelligent men who were in dire need for money and who do not have a criminal record. The audience is made to believe in the beginning that the four central characters are these four men, but in fact they kidnap Khan before the flight takes off, aiming to get the prize money. They hide Khan in a forest and call the Assistant Commissioner of Police, who is a double agent for the mafia. When the ACP does not yield(as he wants them to release Khan), one of the four, Kumar, does a deal with the Mafia and obtains a bag with 2 crore. However, the bag in which the money is kept in has a bomb in it. When Kumar tells the others that he has done this, they back out, and he also joins with them, just in time. Meanwhile, Khan’s assistant, Musharraf, comes and takes Khan from the forest, but is stopped by IB agent Zaheer Khan, who has been following the four men and Musharraf all throughout the movie. Finally, the four friends come back to their house and find a bag which they had lost with a note from Zaheer explaining everything. The bag also has, to their joy, their prize money.

Aithe Movie Reviews

Classic and outsanding

I am surprised by watching this movie, intervel suspense is simply stunning. It has everything in perfect, like life and money based dialogues, story and everything.

A must watch and no miss movie.

Ingenious

Chandrasekhar Yeleti represents the new face of Telugu cinema. The creativity in the plot, the way the characters are handled and the outcome. You can never predict the next scene of the film, and in fact by the time the movie is over you are completely taken aback by the genius of the script.

I doubt even the film directors from the north can match Yeleti’s brilliance. There is so less focus on the songs and dance part that it can be considered international in terms of the treatment carried to the film.

He probably is the only director who can close to direct a film closer to “Chinatown(1974)”. It is the screenplay of such a convoluted script that holds you on till the end.

Congrats to him once again for directing such a wonderful film.

Very refreshing and creative!

In these days when one wonders what exactly is attracting the masses to Thelugu movies, Aithe shows all the traits such as sane direction, nice plot, sane action, fresh faces, good music, and excellent direction as reasons why movies should attract crowds. Gangaraaju and Yeleti have done a wonderful job behind the camera while the protagonists, though new to the big screen, have done laudable action.

By staying away from cloyingly archaic trick of 5/6 songs, Gangaraaju & co. have done a great service to sane movie lovers. The only song in the movie is not only melodious but is very apt for the movie, a rarity in Indian movies.

This movie will go down in the history as a milestone but only time will tell if movie makers will try to treat it as a benchmark!
