Though this was the most eagerly awaited Kollywood diwali release, Vijay's Azhagiya Tamil Magan has turned to be a damp squib.Directed by Bharhathan it also has Vijay in a dual role for the first time.
The first vijay (good guy) is an MBA student & ace athlete who falls in love with Shreya, a very rich industrialists daughter.One fine day out of the blue, he realises that he has extra sensory perception (ESP) & in one of his visions he sees himself stabbing Shreya.So in order to avoid this happening he goes away from there.
Here comes the other Vijay ( bad guy) who is a crook.Shreya mistakes him for the good guy & brings him home. Now he begins to have a great time at the good guy's expense.When the good guy knows this he comes back to confront the bad guy & how the story culmintates is what this excuse of a movie is all about.
If Vijay thought a dual role is only about voice modulation ( the bad guy's way of speaking gets irritating after a while) then he needs to avoid doing any more dual roles.Shreya does not have much to do.Ditto for Ashish Vidyarthi & Sayaji Shinde.Namitha is there in a blink & miss role ( 2 scenes & a song)Santhanam's comedy is o.k.Music by A.H.Rehman is so bad, you cringe when you remember it is his work.
Technically also the movie is quite shoddy.All in a all its a losing proposition for Vijay, Bharhathan & Appachan ( producer).
Rating- 1.5/5 ( I think I have been a bit liberal here :) )
