"Aalwar" (2007) ( _ta. ஆழ்வார்) is a Tamil film directed by Chella. The film stars Ajith Kumar and Asin Thottumkal in the lead roles. This will be the second project that the pair will be in after the blockbuster "Varalaru" directed by K.S. Ravikumar. The film was released for Pongal in January 2007, where Ajith faced competition from his arch rival Vijay who had acted in the remake of telugu block buster Pokiri. Shooting had taken place in India and Europe. The film's score and soundtrack by Srikanth Deva was released on 15 December 2006. Upon release, the film received mixed reviews and failed in the box office.

Plot

The story is the metamorphosis of a simple, straight as rod, Aalwar into an avenging machine named Shiva. Why does Aalwar end up as Shiva? Well, Aalwar is a traditional priest. He is devoted to his mother and sister. But the villainous elements Lal, Vincent Asokan, kill the sister and mother. If this is not reason enough for Aalwar’s blood to boil, then what is? Aalwar, with revenge ringing in his mind, ends up as Shiva the killer, even while working as a ward boy in a hospital. Shiva is out to make a statement against the venal forces. He sees himself as some kind of avatar — in fact, he bumps off the baddies under the guise of Godly elements like Lord Rama and Lord Krishna. At denouement, Shiva turns up as Lord Narasimha and bumps off the last villain by placing him on his thighs and ripping apart his bowels and chest with his sharp claws. Woven into this simple masala story is the love angle with Asin. Then there is also the comedy of Vivek, nicely done by him after a break.
