Ajith’s Asal Movie Review

Banner: Sivaji Production
Cast: Ajith, Sameera Reddy, Bhavana, Prabu, Rajiv Krishna, Suresh, Sampath
Direction: Saran
Production: Prabhu
Music: Bharadwaj

Asal is purely a half backed commercial Masala with an half century old, cliched story line. Here Saran once again fails to impress the cinema lovers with proper story line, even though he filmed it in very stylish way.

The story goes like this…

Ajith (Senior) is a big shot in illegal weapon trading. He has 3 sons and among them Ajith (Junior) is born for illegal wife. In an in-fight for capturing Sr Ajith’s assets and business empire, his own sons Sampath and Rajiv Krishna kills him. But unfortunately they caught in villain’s den in Mumbai. Ajith Jr flies there for their rescue. After safely escaped from villan’s hand with the help of Ajith, Sampath and Rajiv Krishna tries to kill him to get the properties fully.

How Ajith escapes from their target and closed their chapter is the remaining portion of the story.

Bhavana, Sameera, Prabhu and Yuhi Sethu’s part are adding pep to the main story.

Ajith done his role with perfectly and his looks are more stylish than in Billa. Senior Ajith is really done well and his mannerisms are real treat to Thala fans.

Among the heroines, Bavana is having more scope and done her job well. Sameera is not impressive both in appearance as well as performance.

Sampath, rajive Krishna and Suresh (another typical Tamil baddie who turned as a good man in the last reel!!) are the three main villains and done their part well and professional manner.

Prabhu is just appearing in a guest role which hasn’t any impact in the story.

The camera work is good, but Baradwaj’s music is not impressive, except the ‘Tottodaing…’ song.

Saran’s picturisation is excellent but the main drawback is lack of a solid story. It seems that in most of the scenes the director just leaves Ajith to walk here and there in the name of style. But we have experienced this kind of scenes in Billa itself!

Verdict: Run of the mill!
