In this Anniyan-meets-Ghajini movie, Thala Ajith Kumar plays the role of a one man army obsessed with eliminating criminals. He works as a morgue attendant in a hospital but is hell bent on donning a few avatars from Hindu mythology while he carries out his executions.









In the beginning, his selection of victims is either random or circumstantial. But a few minutes into the second half and we get to know that this is a standard revenge drama. The flashbacks show our hero as innocent as one could possibly be, courtsey Anniyan.







The villain kills his family, hits him on the head with a rod and leaves him for dead, courtsey Ghajini. Special mention - the scene where Ajith extends his hand towards his about-to-die sister, a straight lift from Ghajini. What is worse? The girl is named Kalpana!









The climax is yet another spectacle with Ajith getting burned from head to toe and escaping unscathed.










The presence of a heroine in this melee makes matters terrible and Asin ensures that we have a hell of a bad time watching this movie in entirety and her antics in particular.
