ASAL MOVIE PREVIEW
If there is one person other than Ajith who can make the actor’s fans happy, it is none other than Saran. Whenever the filmmaker joined hands with the ‘Ultimate Star’, the output was a blockbuster.
Fourth in the line from the duo (after Kadhal Mannan, Amarkkalam and Attagasam) is Asal, a movie produced by Sivaji Films, one of the reputed production houses in Tamil industry. The action-entertainer has two heroines- Sameera Reddy and Bhavana.
Asal’s success was predicted by Superstar Rajinikanth at the launch of the movie itself. The top actor, who was the chief guest of the function said, “When I was down after ‘Baba’ debacle, Ramkumar and Prabhu, sons of Sivaji Ganesan, did ‘Chandramukhi’ with me. The rest is all history. I hope that ‘Asal’ would repeat the magic of Chandramukhi”.
Ask Saran about the film, he says, “Asal is an Asal Thala film and Asal commercial film. It will be a glossy mass entertainer, with all necessary ingredients that an Ajith film need. I am sure that the movie would satisfy the fans of the actor.”
Ajith, who of late believes in making his films to do the talking, says, “The script is so interesting. Equally is the making of Saran. We all are putting our best efforts to make ‘Asal’ a thorough entertainer.”
Music composer of the movie Bharadwaj says, “The highlight of the album is the introduction song of Ajith, sung by 100 people together. Since it is a film to be shot predominantly abroad, I have not opted for ‘kuthu’ numbers. Instead, they will be trendy.”
He adds: “All my songs in Ajith - Saran combination (Kadhal Mannan, Amarkalam and Attagasam) have topped the charts. The onus is on me to deliver this time too.” The onus is equally on Ajith-Saran too, you can say.
The Story : Asal movie story is almost out that first ajith who loves Guantanamera cigars will be a don dealing with international smuggling; incidentally the whole group was murdered. In that situation the second Ajith will appear on the screen to find out the mystery behind the murder.
Yet the remaining part of the movie is kept secret that second Ajith may be a police officer or detective or a person following vengeance for his beloved ones.

ASAL MUSIC REVIEW
Music Director : Bharadwaj
Vocals : Sunitha Menon, Bharadwaj, Surmukhi, Sricharan, Mukesh, Janani, Kumaran, S.P.Balasubramaniam, Karthikeyan.
Lyrics : Vairamuthu.
Produced by Ramkumar Sivaji and Prabhu Sivaji and directed by Saran, this movie is the costliest one Ajith has ever done so far. Ajith,( doing the roles of father and son) Bhavana, Sameera Reddy, Yugi Sethu (who writes the dialogues here), Suresh, Raj Krishna, Suhasini Mani Ratnam, Kelly Dorji, Koena Mitra--- the list of actors is long! Vairamuthu’s lyrics have been set to music by Bharadwaj and Y-Kinz. The Bharadwaj-Saran-Ajith combination has already given us some fine music-remember Attakasam and Amarkkalam? Parts of this film have been shot in Malaysia and France too. This is one of the first Tamil movies to be screened in Russia. For the curious, the well known Chennai designer Vivek Karunakaran has designed Ajith’s dresses. Without much ado, let us delve into this much-awaited album which has seven tracks.
