Asal (2010) * 1/2
There are two differences between Vijay and Ajith.Vijay speaks his punch dialogues of his own,self chanting but Ajith makes other to speak about him .Vijay will be in lousy Tshirts and Jeans and Ajith will be in Armani Suits and Sunglasses.If every body thinks Ajith is not like Vijay think this and watch Asal you will accept ,what I said was true.Sitting in the hall I felt sleepy and I wonder why for this story there were three names in the title Ajith (!!) ,Saran and Yuhi sethu.Asal can pass commercially because of opening week collections,fantastic camera , some beleivable stunts and ofcourse the Ajith factor.Asal was not too bad but it lacks with time.It still the old Tamil style Mafia story and father sentiment.
Asal is about the guy Siva who isnt the legal son of Jeevanantham an industrialist in france.Siva is brought by Jeeva but his sons Sam and Vicky avoid him.Sam and Vicky try to trade of weapons with a drug mafia which is opposed by their dad.Jeeva gets killed and Siva is thrown out.When Sam and Vicky signs the deal the affected person kidnaps Vicky.Now Siva goes in search of Vicky,but he realises the real villain is not there.
Every body wears suits,sunglasses same as Billa.Billa was a fashion show ,it suited well because Ajith had a control over his weight but here his tummy is oozing out.There isnt much of dialogues for Ajith,he comes like Batman and hits and smokes cigar and disappears.He gets two bullets in the chest but still comes alive.Mr.Ajith will also be slowly pulled to the state where Vijay is if he doesn’t look his mannerisms and his hesitancy to act.There are some scenes which looks very simulated but that’s how Fans of Ajith accept him and celeberate him.
There is Yuhi sethu in a irritating role for comedy track as a DON.Sameera and Bhavana are surely a releif in this movie.I couldn’t understand the thoughts of the screenplay writers.It was very evident the two brothers were ineffective and the powerful villain was in India ,but he dies before interval ,Did Ajith came back to fight with these brothers who couldn’t stand against Ajith ?
Camera of Prashanth should be definitely applauded for bringing the style and beauty of France.The stunts were interesting because of good visuals and choreography.I don’t have any thing to say about Charan,who made movie which became hits in the past.There was nothing special before and even now.This time atleast he has bycotted his very irritating support characters in huge way except for Yuhi sethu and the two cranks who follows him.
If you are a Ajith fan you would like this ,but if you are neutral you will get a big yawn but when you try to sleep the horrible BGM will not allow you to sleep.Asal is an out and out duplicate version of typical masala movies.
Rating : *1/2

5. we can't expect big from Ajith or Vijay... they are 'mass' entertainers by star politics..not by work...
sameera and bhavana were refreshing ...what else..the one word says it..doesnt it :P
