Story:
Raja [Karthi] runs a TV Channel and
Kalyanam [Santhanam] is his side-kick employee. Raja falls for Chitra
Devi Priya aka Chitra [Kajal Agarwal] and keeps on trying for her.
Chitra is a stubborn youngster who manages her father's cinema and
wedding hall besides striving hard to make it big as an artist, but
fails in every attempt she made. Raja and Chitra the young lads from
rival families always lock horns with each other. How will Raja win
Chitra’s heart? Forms the crux of All in All Azhaguraja…
Performances:
Karthi handles All in
All Azhaguraja all the way. He was at his ever best with improvisations
and place where he masquerades veteran actor Prabhu is well mannered.
Kajal Agarwal has done
her parts well. Ethnic costumes on her suits the role of Chitra and
thanks to her perfect shape. She has lived the role as an upcoming
dancer cum singer.
Santhanam is been type
casted for his comic one-liners and they couldn’t make an impact on
audiences this time, though he steals the show with variety of
expressions.
Veteran stars Prabhu, Kota Sreenivasa Rao, MS Bhaskar and Naren are worth mentioning.
Technical Analysis:
Rajesh might have thought he could win a
hit just with good team work and performances of top notch stars, but
All in All Azhaguraja has proved it wrong by telling a wafer –thin
script couldn’t mark a hit on big screens.
SS Thaman’s background is ok and in the
frames of Kareena Chopra it stands out. Yaarukkum Sollama, Unnai Partha
Neram and All in All are good on screen too.
Though one feels All in All Azhaguraja
is lengthy, editor Vivek Harshan has nothing to do with it, as the
scenes are framed lengthy for comedy and couldn’t be even trimmed.
Analysis:
Rajesh clearly depicted with AAA that
his idea is only to do a paisa vasool movie to make audiences laugh loud
for the spent money. No notable scenes, beyond the Karthi and Santhanam
conversations and where they officially address each other as 'MD Sir'
and 'Officer Sir' are good.
The retro scenes of Karthi as young
Prabhu, Radhika Apte as his mother along with Santhanam and Nassar is
the only much talked scene in AAA that has impressive act of the stars.
Final Verdict:
Don’t test your patience. Watch All in All Azhaguraja if you are very free this festive weekend…
