The director has tried out well with the film 'Aalwar'. He has set out with a simple plan to no let down Ajith's fans. These days, most heroes don't want to disappoint their core audience. Ajith is a smart man, he knows what his legion of followers need from him. And he has provided just that, even though for most part the film moves on a formulaic pattern.
The story is of the film is simple and straight. 'Aalwar' is with an avenging machine named Shiva. Aalwar is a traditional priest. He is devoted to his mom and sister. But the villainous elements Lal, Vincent Asokan, take away the sister and mother. Aalwar, with revenge ringing in his mind, ends up as Shiva the killer, even while working as a ward boy in a hospital. Shiva is out to make a statement against the venal forces. He sees himself as some kind of avatar - in fact, he bumps off the baddies under the guise of Godly elements. The character has not confused and delivers the action with his usual aplomb. His intensity while dealing with the baddies is very real and absorbing.Woven into this simple masala story is the love angle Asin. Then there is also the comedy of Vivek, which is indeed hilarious at places.
Performance:
Coming after his big success in 'Varalaru', Ajith looks confidence personified and delivers his usual punch with poise. Ajith also looks ease and elegant. The usual package of action, comedy, sentiments and other attendant things that an average film-goer looks for is present here too. Asin is full of panache and shows her usual chirpiness. Vivek is back in his element and the comedy tracks carry his usual spark and spunk. The music and camera are ok.
Verdict: Average
