AnotherTerribleMovie (ATM)

Saw Vijay's AzhagiyaTamilMagan(ATM) Yesterday . The most hyped Diwali release.
The movie starts with Illaya,Iniya,Idhaya Thalapathy DR.Vijay nadikum... In this movie Vijay has become brand ambassdor of another forgotten sport. Running race :) Heard he is going to endorse goligundu, gilli thanda, pattam viduthal in his forthcoming movies .
Intro song over..Next fight. After that mokkai by Santhanam in the name of comedy (Hard to see Santhanam act with Vijay after making so much fun of him in Lollu sabha.. After all its his career making decision) . Santhanam is slowly becoming a repetitive material ..Best of luck Santhanam, try something different.
Vijay has tried a different formula in this movie rather than his usual remake stuff. Great. Kudos to him. But the director was unable to Carry forward a nice theme. Vijay has ExtraSensitivePerception(ESP). He foresees death of his neighbour little girl. Tries to save her but in vain. Then foresees the death of his father , somehow saves him. Then foresees his lady love getting stabbed by him . Confused by it he runs away from his lady love.
Lady love played by "Shivaji" fame Shreya. She has tried to act , nice attempt.
Vijay lands up in Mumbai where he sees his villain .Another vijay. After fight,dance,fight,comedy, song,fight how good vijay unites with Shreya is the story.
Though the movie is different from a usual vijay movie. It lacks the flow. You tend to look at your watch many times throughout the movie .
There is one visible flaw in the movie, when one guy invites Vijay by telling his name and ends up asking him who are you ?
Positives
  1. Something different from Vijay
  2. Songs

Negatives

  1. Screenplay,direction
  2. Hard to differentiate b/w villain and Hero (both look wise, acting wise )
  3. Comedy
  4. BGM (ARR in Shivaji hangover)

Overall ATM is AnotherTerribleMovie :)

Ps: This is my personal view and I am not Rajeev Masand/Raja Sen kind of reviewer.
