ATM - Arruvai Tamil Mokkai !!

Movie: Azhagiya Tamil Magan

Cast: Good Vijay, bad Vijay and dumb blonde’ Shriya

Rating: hahahahahahahahahaah – What’s that agagin ???






ATM stand for Arruvai Tamil Mokkai


My problem really is optimism. After having seen Saawariya and Om Shanti Om, I decided masala works best with a Tamil ‘mass’ hero. Besides, I had seen the worst, so why worry?

Unfortunately I was wrong (yet again!). Vijay’s two worst movies are easily Sivakasi and Sachin, Now for all those you have seen or even heard of these movies.. Extract the mokkai value of both these movies, multiply it by 20 and cube it.. You will get a ball-park figure on how “Kadi” Azhagiya Tamil Magan is !!

The highlight of the movie is definitely his punch line : Pinni pedal yeduthuduvain
(literally translated into : I will plait you and remove your pedal .. and no it does not make sense in the Tamil context either .. so don’t even bother!!! )
But then what the hell.. When have punch dialogues ever made sense? Also the chemistry or lack of it between Vijay and Shriya is worth a deko, especially for men who like to fantasize about women with perfect abs, loads of moolah and ‘kaarpu intact’ chasing them around.

My north Indian friend wanted to know what the hell the movie was named Azhagiya Tamil Magan” – which btw literally translated in “beautiful Tamil son” , when the protagonist Vijay is not by any standards known for his well.. eeerr inherent good looks!! I wait too.. Watching ( almost ) the entire movie .. For that one little clue!!
But naaahhh!!!

I should kick myself for calling Om Shanti Om unbelievable!! If OSO is unbelievable, then ATM is just ridiculous! Two Vijay’s .. one good and one bad ( obviously!!) .. The story is a two-liner… The good Vijay meets and falls in love with Shriya but then develops ESP where he can see the future and in his (ahem!) mind’s eye sees himself killing Shriya. Dejected and afraid, he leaves the city only to see a body double ( who despite being born and brought up in Bombay speaks flawless Tamil with local Chennai accent intact’ ) . It suddenly strikes him that the body double would be the person killing Shriya and hence begins to chase him while the Bad Vijay escapes and reaches Chennai where Shriya mistakes him for the good Vijay !( obviously!!) (Phew!)

In well true Vijay style, the good Vijay (who meets with an accident) runs away from the hospital only to come back to Chennai to rescue his lady-love from the bad Vijay! Well, the torture doesn’t stop there, Shriya (who is as dumb as she looks) has a knack of choosing the wrong Vijay over the right own, until she finally discovers who her true lover is while keeping her ‘kaarpu’ (chastity) as Saakshi (witness) … sigh!!! And we thought those movies went out of vogue in the 80’s…But no the climax doesn’t end there.. Shriya lying wounded in the hospital tells the bad Vijay about how she is not sad that her life is hanging in a balance but is happy that her “kaarpu’ ( sigh!!!!!! Leave the darn thing alone .. will you ) has been saved for her true love.. The bad Vijay who heard her moving Kaapu speech decides to turn over a new leaf while the lovers live happily ever after!

If the movie doesn’t sound bad enough, wait till you are assaulted by A.R Rahman’s music.. and insipid art-direction and third-rate animation!! Of course if you are the type who likes Shriya’s belly-button, well the director has definitely done a lot of justice to showcasing that, just wish he took as much trouble while canning the scenes.

On the whole, ATM is worth 120 rupees of the ticket , if you watching in INOX since the seats are comfortable, but don’t attempt buying the flavorless popcorn for Rs. 40, because the movie is definitely not a cent more!!

P.S I just gave Om Shati Om , four stars after watching ATM

I don't know why you are doing this to yourself, what makes you think that Diwali releases are worth watching, to top it all, its been like you are watching them one day after the other, In case you think they will make you feel relaxed and better, no babe you are wrong, everyday we see you coining a different title name for such cheap movies.

All the best for the evening, will kick your ass for taking revenge!!!

Haha! Sounds interesting. I guess it should be worth a watch if you like laughing at Tamil movies. Though I did not know that Vijay's movie was out for Diwali, heard of SRK's though. It doesn't matter what the story line of the movie is people are anyways going to watch both of the movies, after all it's Sharukh Khan and Vijay.
