Cinediary is back with All in All Azhagu Raja Movie Review. Karthi and kajal Agarwal starred Rajesh directed AAA released worldwide on auspicious Diwali day, November 2nd.
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…
