ATM story sees Ilayathalapathy Vijay is seen in a dual role with a towering performance, never seen before. Leave your logical mind at home, crank up that sense of humour, and it’s a roller coaster ride of pure unadulterated masala.
The story of Azhagiya Thamizh Magan goes like this – Guru (Vijay) is an ace sprinter and business management student, who lives with his friends in a house owned by former sex- bomb Shakeela (Shakeela in a cameo). One day he meets Abhinaya (Shreya), a rich girl and daughter of a business baron (Ashish Vidyarti) who slowly falls in love with him. After some convincing, both the parents agree for their marriage.
Suddenly Guru starts seeing things that are going to happen in the immediate future. A psychiatrist (played by Dr. Rudran, a professional psychiatrist) confirms that it is ESP power and says that the images visualized by Guru would actually happen sooner or later.Just before Guru and Abhi are to be engaged, Guru gets a very disturbing ESP, of him killing Abhinaya. A shattered Guru distances himself from Abhi and goes away to Mumbai.
Meanwhile, Prasad (Vijay),a spitting image of Guru, is a financier and loan shark in Mumbai and Guru stumbles upon him. This gives him a different meaning of the horrible incident visualized by him. Before catching the man, Guru gets into an accident and the new man moves to Chennai. Abhi mistakes him for Guru and Prasad, a mercenary makes merry with Abhi and soon gets engaged to her. Meanwhile Guru sensing trouble, comes back to Chennai to save his lady love, which leads to the final twist in the climax.
A.R. Rahman’s music in Azhagia Tamil Magan is outstanding. In fact that songs sound better when heard – and seen – in the movie. ‘Maduraiku Pokaathey’ and ‘Valaiyapatti’ are quite attractive. The remix version is more convincing when seen in the context.
The script is intresting as the director has come up with a new idea in form of ESP to provide twist in the tale.Vijay has a terrific comic timing, his ability to mock and lampoon makes his performance absolutely knockout. In the negative character Prasad’s role he is the veritable scene stealer.
The first half of Azhagia Tamizh Magan drags a bit. Only if a few scenes had been cut out, the movie would have been better. Over all a very good entertainer and a treat for Ilayathalapathi fans.
