AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

        Every actor aspires to do movies with mass themes these days. They go on the revenge mode and butcher anti-socials in their films. However, the trick lies in slick presentation by the director to make it engrossing.

        Ajit is no different as he adopts the familiar route. A rehash of several films of the same genre, Aalwar lacks freshness, creativity and coherence.

        Debutant director Sella has tried to come up with a 'formula' film with the hero being portrayed as a one-man army, uttering punch dialogues, brandishing the gun to bump rowdies and in between romancing the heroine.

        A cocktail of movies like Baasha, Indian, Gentleman and the recent Anniyan, Aalwar is about a daredevil, who takes on the baddies, single-handedly.

        Ajit dons the role of a Brahmin youth, who is forced to take up arms to teach the evil forces a lesson, after suffering personally at their hands.

        Ajit is the only major attraction, who has tried to liven up the proceedings. A man on a mission, he sports a serious look in the first half and appears as a temple priest in the flashback.

        Asin plays a bubbly heroine, who runs behind the hero for no reason. She still seems to be suffering from the Ghajini hangover.

        The gang of villains including Lal and Vincent Asokan are as usual loud and meet their fate at the hands of the hero.

        Vivekh and Manorama combine well to evoke laughter. Aalwar (Ajit), is a temple priest who leads a happy life with his mother and sister.

        He incurs the wrath of a gang of anti-socials for no fault of his. Later, his mother and sister get killed by them.

        On a revenge mode, Aalwar reaches Chennai in the guise of Sathya and gets a job at the Chennai Government Hospital. He kills the villains one after another in the guise of Hindu Gods - Rama and Krishna. In the climax, he takes the Narasimha avatar to kill the main villain Lal.

        In the end, it turns out to be a case of 'old wine in a old bottle.'
