Attagasam
Oct 04, 2017 09:11 AM 1988 Views

The movie name itself says that the movie was Attagasam. The performance of the Ajith sir was charming and cool. The two different character of Ajith sir was too good. The music was damn good enough handsoft to music director the bgm was well suited for the Ajith sir. And comming to cinematography it was very nice and pretty cool cinematographer showed Ajith sir in a mass way. The overall movie were Attagasam.

Ajit has had some successes in dual roles and Attagasam tries to take advantage of this streak. Unfortunately it falls flat with an unoriginal story and some lewd scenes that pass off as comedy.


Jeeva( Ajit) runs a driving school and lives with his mother( Sujatha). During a visit to Thuthukudi, he is mistaken for Guru( Ajit in a dual role), a local don. Apparently Guru is the twin brother of Jeeva who was sent away by his mother for his safety after he witnesses his father's murder. Guru now wants to take revenge on his mother and brother. How he accomplishes this forms the rest of the story.


In between we have around 4 other dons and hence quite a few fight scenes with their henchmen.Pooja plays Jeeva's love interest. She has nothing else to do except to appear in the song sequences. Ajit's movie chances seem to be slimming and he tries to make the best of this double opportunity.


The supporting cast is huge and most of them have nothing to do. The songs are nothing to rave about. Though there are some nice shots of the Thuthukudi harbor, technically the film is not great. The indoor sets especially of the driving school could use some more work.

UthHeaven Movie Review - Attagasam


Attagasam - Ultimate Star Ajith Kumar is back with Sharan! This hit combination has once again roped in another hit combo of music director Bharadwaj and Vairamuthu. The music of the much awaited Attagasam was just an average attempt from Bharadwaj but what about the movie? Can Sharan make it a hat trick of super hits with Ultimate Star? Can Ajith Kumar get back to being Ultimate again? Lots of questions and expectations on this Diwali release. Is it 'Attagasam Forever' or just in patches? Well, the answer is here!


Ajith Kumar plays a dual role in this movie. In one, he is a happy go lucky romantic guy named Jeeva who runs a driving school and in the other he is a dreaded, angry dada named Guru (Thala) who lives in Thoothukudi (Tuticorin). The twins get separated and many would have known about their flashback and the reason for their separation.


Thanks to their mother who is played by Sujatha. As Jeeva, Ajith plays the comical role while as 'Thala' the action one. Now no more story blogs, lets head straight to the twists. Due to a mishap, Jeeva lands up in Tuticorin for a short stay. Jeeva is mistaken as Guru and gets shocked to be called 'Thala' and for being respected by all. Due to the confusions that have been caused by Jeeva on his visit, Guru gets to know about him and his mother. He decides to seek revenge on his mother for abandoning him and taking Jeeva with her.


Guru plans to get his brother killed by his rival 'Annachi' Mahadevan with the help of Ramesh Khanna in Tuticorin by plotting a plan. 'Thala' kidnaps Jeeva and they exchange places. Jeeva is disguised as Guru. The original Guru leaves to Chennai as Jeeva. 'Thala' makes sure all hell breaks loose for Jeeva in Tuticorin but Jeeva smartly overcomes them.


Guru keeps troubling his mother in Chennai and makes her unhappy. After sometime he changes his mind when the truth about his mother's love and affection for him is revealed by her. Finally the twins join hands and demolish the villains. After the villains are taken care of, Guru returns back to Tuticorin while Jeeva walks away with Pooja! Well that's the story. An usual double role mix up story but Sharan's screenplay makes it livelier and enjoyable.


The movie starts off without any hiccups and the screenplay keeps flowing. Kudos to Sharan for that! The slap stick comedy and the presence of a good number of actors in one frame (Vyapuri, Crane Manohar, Karunas) is a typical Sharan style.


Comedy makes the screenplay more exciting! Karunas and Ramesh Khanna light up the screen but it is Ajith Kumar all the way who just carries the whole movie in his shoulder with another brilliant dual role performance, his third one after Vaalee and Villain. Oops! we almost forgot to mention about Pooja. She happens to fall in love with Jeeva - the cooler Ajith and she doesn't do much either other than the duets. Sharan has made sure he used Ajith Kumar as exciting as he can.


Rollicking comedy sequences especially Karunas with the auto rickshaw and the Temple comedy sequence in the second half deserve to be mentioned. The dream fight sequences take time to be understood but nice trick though.


Now to the action part - the villains. We have Babu Antony as Manthram the dreaded big dada who kills Nizhalgal Ravi (father of the twins) and we have one more villain in Tuticorin, Mahadevan as the Samudra Kani aka Annachi. He has a side kick played by Nellai Siva who makes us laugh with his accent. Of the two villains, Mahadevan impresses more.


Look out for him during the confrontation with the cooler Ajith in the second half! This is one of the best scenes and Ultimate Star steals the show! Fights have been picturised well and applause to the stunt master Super Subraiyan. Cameraman A.Venkatesh has done his job while Suresh Urs makes sure that movie is crisp with his editing skills. Mohana Mahendran takes care of the sets.


Well, as mentioned earlier Bharadwaj could have done more in all the songs but still ''Thalai Pola Varuma'' and ''Thala Deepavali'' rocks on the silver screen. The bit song jells with Ajith's image among his fans. Even the Attagasam bit song is used quiet well in the titles and some places in the movie.


The duets have been picturised in Romania and they look good eventhough the dance movements don't impress much, thanks to Ajith Kumar and Pooja. She looks quiet glamorous in the songs.


Now to Ajith Kumar's performance analysis! He has definitely stepped up a gear and now looks more solid in dual roles than other younger generation stars. He has done both the roles with ease. Sharan must be appreciated for extracting the best from Ajith Kumar once again after Kadhal Mannan and Amarkalam. He was the one who had promoted the 'Lover Boy' image of Ajith with Kadhal Mannan and also had given him the action hero image with Amarkalam.


Ultimate Star rocks in the comedy role! Sharan has made sure he has infused comedy into almost all scenes and special applause to him for that!


Ajith's one liners in the movie serve as a mega treat to his fans! Some of them include - 'Elunthiruchittaen, Etho Varaen', 'Nee Reel Otturavan, Naan Race Car Otturavan', 'Naan Leavulathan Poyirunthaen, Eppa Leave Mudinchu Vanthutaen - Jakkirathai', 'Ele! En Mughatha Vachikittu Kenchathaley'!! If you are an Ajith Fan, then this is the movie for you in the genre of Amarkalam, Dheena, Citizen and Villain!


So many plus points and isnt it time to analyse the cons? Mmm.. The music must have been done better eventhough the present songs entertain Ajith's fans. Some double meaning dialogues could have been avoided in the first half. Apart from those 'Attagasam' is a smooth ride right from the start to the end, thanks to Ajith Kumar and comedy!


APPLAUSE : Ajith + Ajith, Comedy, Fight Sequences


AHEM! : Songs and Double Meaning Dialogues


VERDICT : Diwali Saravedi from the Ultimate Star! A Mega Treat for Ajith Fans!

Movie : Attakasam Director :Saran Producer : Karthikeyan .P Cinematographer :A.Venkatesh Music :Bharadwaj Cast :Ajit (dual role), Pooja, Sujatha, Karunas, Vaiyapuri, Pithamgan Mahadevan, Babu Antony, Ramesh Khanna, Scissor Manohar, Jasper Ilavarasu, Ilavarasan,Haneefa , etc.



If laughter is the best medicine, then Saran earned his stripes, though at times the comedy is crass with plenty of lewd jokes. Ajit -Saran combination has worked out once again. Ajit appears amazing in dual roles and he is a delight to watch. Ajit looks sensational as usual and is an absolute delight and is clearly at home playing another double role (the third time).


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. Ajit excels in dual role - that of a carefree driving school instructor and an underworld Don. Humour comes naturally to Ajit. Pooja as his lover looks pretty but does nothing by way of acting.


Actually speaking she does not have much scope to perform. Karunas, Vaiyapuri and Ramesh Khanna provide some lighter moments. Sujatha as Ajit?s mother, Pithamaghan Mahadevan as Samudhrakani and Babu Antony as Manthram have done their job neatly.


Barring logic and an old fashioned story, Saran has given a lighthearted and pure 3 hour commercial masala film. The director could have avoided double meaning dialogues (meant for the front benchers) which are laced through out the film. Among the six songs of Bharadwaj, the opening song ?Unakkennae... Unakkennae...? by Vairamuthu is good.


The background music, though a trifle loud at times, lends itself to the narrative, which in turn is fast-paced. Super Subbarayan?s fights are worth mentioning.


Verdict : 7.5 /10 A msut watch for Ajit fans.
