Ajit has not disappointed his fans in Vijayam Cine Combines' "Attagaasam". The film once again proves the screenplay writing talent of Charan who has not only made the film in a short span of time but has also intelligently tied up nearly all the loose ends of the film with so many characters. For Ajit it is a dual role and he has done both characters as differently as possible.

Story
The story is about identical twin brothers – Jeeva (Ajit) a happy-go-lucky driving instructor in Chennai who runs his own driving school and lives with his mother (Sujatha). His sidekicks are Punk (Karnas), an auto driver and Vayyapuri. His twin brother Guru (Ajit) is a rising don in Tuticorin and his best friend is Sulla (Ramesh Kanna). Guru is an angry young man who is seeking vengeance on his mother who had given him in adoption when he was a child. In fact Guru had run away from his foster parents to Tuticorin and become a ‘dada’!

Guru has a dark secret, as he was a witness to his father’s (Nizhalgal Ravi) murder by Mantram (Babu Antony) an underworld don and a real estate shark. Mantram is in search of Guru and has promised the mother that he will not harm Jeeva but due to a crazy mix-up Jeeva lands up in Tutocorin where everybody mistakes him for Guru and later creates tension between the don and his enemies like Samudrakani (‘Pitamagan’ Mahadevan) and Jasper. Finding this as an opportunity to settle scores with his mother, Guru impersonates his twin brother and how all this is sorted out in the end forms the rest of this yarn.
Music
Music is impressive. Bharadwaj has improved his re-recording very much.

Performance
Ajit does both the characters with ease. He has to watch his tummy, though. Pooja has very little to do except run behind Ajit and sing sweet songs in foreign locations. Ramesh Kanna as the friend of the Don Ajit makes people laugh. It is Mahadevan and Jasper who by way of their body language try to create an impact. Ilavarasu is a man for all seasons and fits into any role with ease. Sujatha as the mother is convincing.
Verdict
Hit.
