News

By Ramchander
Karthi's
wish
to
end
his
losing
streak
with
All
in
All
Azhagu
Raja
seems
to
be
shattered
with
his
latest
Tamil
flick
getting
poor
reviews
from
critics.
The
disappointing
aspect
of
the
saga
is
that
the
film
is
heading
towards
being
replaced
by
Ajith
Kumar's
Arrambam
and
Vishal's
Pandiya
Nadu
in
theatres
due
to
bad
word-of-mouth.
Nonetheless,
the
Tamil
flick
has
got
a
good
opening.
Despite
getting
bad
reviews,
All
in
All
Azhagu
Raja
has
managed
to
get
good
opening
at
the
Tamil
Box
Office.
Thanks
to
the
Karthi's
fan
followers,
who
gave
a
massive
response
for
the
advance
booking
of
the
flick.
This
really
boosted
the
collections
of
the
movie
and
brought
a
relief
to
the
makers
of
the
movie.
All
in
All
Azhagu
Raja
was
released
on
November
2
with
a
lot
of
expectations.
People
had
pinned
high
hopes
on
M
Rajesh
as
he
had
delivered
a
few
hits
before.
The
producer
had
also
got
a
good
number
of
screens
for
its
release
due
to
this
factor.
This
played
the
key
role
in
getting
a
good
opening
for
the
Tamil
flick.
The
occupancy
for
the
flick
was
above
85%
on
the
opening
weekend.
However,
the
response
for
the
movie
on
Monday
(November
4)
was
not
exciting
for
All
in
All
Azhagu
Raja.
More
or
less,
the
fate
of
the
movie
is
sealed.

What
Went
Wrong?
Poor
storyline,
over
dependence
on
clichéd
Santhanam's
comedy
sequences
and
the
length
of
the
movie.
All
in
All
Azhagu
Raja
Trimmed
Meanwhile,
All
in
All
Azhagu
Raja
has
been
trimmed
by
25
minutes
following
a
poor
response
from
audiences
and
critics
alike.
"It
was
a
unanimous
decision
by
the
makers
of
the
film," a
source
from
the
film's
unit
told
IANS.
AAA
Makers'
Last
Attempt
To
Woo
Audience
The
source
adds,
"The
initial
response
was
not
in
the
favour
of
the
film
and
we
came
to
learn
that
its
length
was
the
biggest
concerns
for
audiences.
Since
we
can't
make
changes
to
the
film,
we
decided
to
trim
it
by
25
minutes."
New
Version
"The
new
version
started
playing
on
all
digital
screens
since
Sunday
(November
3)
evening.
It
was
also
added
to
more
screens
from
the
next
day
across
the
country
and
overseas," the
source
concludes.
What
Were
Deleted?
One
song
and
a
few
scenes
have
been
excluded
from
the
film,
which
had
an
original
run
of
two-hours-and-fifty-four
minutes.
Cast
All
in
All
Azhagu
Raja
also
stars
Kajal
Agarwal,
Radhika
Apte
and
Santhanam
in
important
roles.
The
Tamil
film
is
directed
and
produced
by
Gnanavel
Raja.
