Siddharth, a young man who runs a family business, finds two of his lookalikes — Manjunath and Michael — through a website.

Things take a drastic turn with the entry of NIA who are after one of the lookalikes.

Entertainment

The second half is much better as there is an engrossing cat-and-mouse game between Siddharth and the antagonist.

Entertainment

The big issue with Amigos though is their formulaic nature in terms of the treatment. This is best reflected in the portrayal of NIA.

Entertainment

The commercial elements of comedy, romance and action are a hit and a miss; particularly, the romance aspect.

Entertainment

More than the music, it is the background score that elevates the film. Ghibran provides a rousing BGM that adds to the characters.

Entertainment

Ashika Ranganath is pleasant but her character Ishika’s dreams of wanting a super-human husband also come across as rather clichéd.

Entertainment

Amigos is mostly a Kalyanram film as the actor is present in almost all the frames. Bramhaji is the only other actor who stands out.

Entertainment

In a nutshell, this tale of doppelgangers will make you curious about finding your lookalikes even though it comes with its own set of dangers.
