After
the
success
of
his
dual
roles
in
Valee,
Ajit
has
reached
yet
another
landmark
in
his
career
by
playing
three
different
roles
in
Varalaru.
Director
K.S.
Ravikumar
has
presented
this
movie
in
his
own
style
to
the
Tamil
audience.
The
story
revolves
around
the
three
characters
which
Ajit
has
given
life
to
and
made
them
interesting.
Ajit
plays
the
roles
of
father
and
his
twin
sons,
in
a
story
that
has
lot
of
thrilling
twists
and
turns
which
keep
the
audience
glued
to
their
seats.
Taking
the
advice
of
millionaire
dad
Sivashankar,
(Ajit
as
the
father),
fun-loving
son
Vishnu
(Ajit
as
the
older
son)
who
enjoys
the
good
life
in
the
city,
moves
to
a
village
to
help
the
people
there
and
thereby
make
his
life
more
meaningful.
He
meets
a
charming
young
girl
Divya
(Asin)
and
both
fall
in
love
with
each
other.
Their
love
story
reaches
the
stage
of
marriage
with
the
acceptance
of
both
the
families.
The
turn
in
the
story
comes
through
the
3rd
character
of
Ajit.
When
the
preparation
for
the
marriage
of
Vishnu
and
Divya
is
on
full-swing,
Jeeva
(Ajit
as
the
younger
son),
who
looks
just
like
Vishnu,
creates
a
ruckus
in
the
well-planned
marriage
arrangements.
Sivashankar,
physically
challenged
and
in
a
wheelchair,
thinks
that
Vishnu
has
caused
this
mess
and
is
confused
and
ashamed
of
his
son's
act.
When
he
realizes
that
it
is
Jeeva
and
not
Vishnu
behind
all
this,
the
story
moves
to
Sivashankar's
past...
Sivashankar,
an
exponent
of
Bharatnatyam,
develops
effeminate
mannerisms
due
to
his
devotion
to
his
craft.
This
sort
of
confusing
body
language
becomes
the
reason
for
Siva
not
being
able
to
find
a
bride
to
complete
his
life.
Finally,
Kanika's
character
agrees
to
marry
Siva,
but
only
because
of
a
picture
shown
to
her,
unknowing
as
she
is
of
Siva's
mannerisms.
She
walks
out
on
him
on
the
day
of
the
wedding,
infuriating
the
much-thwarted
and
rejected
Sivashankar.
In
a
flash
of
anger,
passion
and
thirst
for
revenge,
Siva
seeks
her
out
and
forces
himself
on
her.
Vishnu
and
Jeeva
are
the
result
of
this
unhappy
union,
where
Vishnu
gets
taken
away
to
be
raised
by
Siva,
unknown
to
him
that
another
son
is
waiting
to
see
the
world
just
minutes
behind
Vishnu.
Is
the
blood
thirst
of
Jeeva
satisfied?
Do
Vishnu
and
Divya
finally
join
hands?
What
happens
to
Siva
and
his
relationship
with
his
angry
young
son
Jeeva?
What
happens
to
Jeeva?
K.S.
Ravikumar
plays
with
the
audience's
minds
and
attention
and
the
climax
brings
him
much
ovation
from
the
audience.
The
director's
screenplay,
the
myriad
emotions
and
roles
of
Ajit,
the
beauty
of
Asin
-
all
form
a
nice
combination
in
the
movie.
The
big
plus
for
the
movie
is
the
music,
by
young
genius
A.
R.
Rahman.
The
audience
is
pulled
to
the
edge
of
their
seats
in
last
45
minutes
of
the
screenplay.
Asin
has
done
her
part
well.
The
entire
movie
has
been
shouldered
by
Ajit
in
his
tri-appearance
as
father
as
a
dancer,
his
own
sons
Vishnu
and
Jeeva,
who's
personalities
are
as
opposite
as
fire
and
water.
The
comedy
part
of
the
movie
is
taken
care
by
Ramesh
Kanna
and
team.
Varalaru
has
taken
a
long
time
to
release,
but
will
be
remembered
long!
