Azhagu Raja (Karthi),
the only son of Prabhu and Saranya Ponvannan, owns an unpopular cable channel
named AAA. There are only two employees, one being Raja and other Kalyanam
(Santhanam) in the TV channel. No matter what they do, neither TRPs nor
revenues were improving. The hero, accidentally, comes across Devi Priya (Kajal
Aggarwal).
Instead of trying to
impress her, Azhagu Raja picks up a fight with Devi Priya when she sings a song
at a marriage. Her weird singing songs irk him and eventually, makes him to
express his anger on her singing abilities. Sooner or later she realises that
her singing is very bad. As they start liking each other, a flashback of Prabhu
opens up. It has to be noted that Karthi steps into Prabhu's story set in the
80s.
Prabhu's flashback
shows us that he was working with her grand father played by Nassar and he had
left the job after he was insulted by him.
The story of All in All
Azhagu Raja is too lengthy and mainly banks on the comedy part. Precisely on
Santhanam.
The length of the
movie, despite shortening by 11 minutes, bothers the audience to the maximum
extent. It tests your patience in the second half as M Rajesh beats around the
bush to wrap up the film.
Karthi’s Performance
Karthi has given a good
performance in All in All Azhagu Raja. His 80s avatars will be appreciated by
fans.
Kajal Aggarwal’s
Performace
Kajal Aggarwal has played her part well. But this time, the actress, who is believed to be a lucky charm for producers, has failed to repeat her magic as the screenplay is badly written.

Santhanam’s Performance
Santhanam comes out
with brilliant performance. Even his avatars of 80s will be praised.
Other actors
Rest other characters
like Prabhu, Radhika Apte, Saranya Ponvannan and MS Bhaskar have justified
their roles.
Music
S Thaman's 'Yaarukum
sollaama' and 'Unna partha neram' are good. His background score is
praiseworthy. Remaining departments are okay.
Songs
While the first half is
passable, the second half is highly boring. The placement of the last song irks
the audience.
Overall Verdict
A comedy story presented
in a boring way. Watch it if you love Santhanam's comedies or if you are
Karthi's fan.
