In a sense, almost all Tamil films are based on Gandhian principles. The hero fights for justice and finally truth alone will triumph. But Ayudham Seivom is a movie that strikes a direct chord with Mahatma’s policies, as the protagonist Sundar C takes the Ahimsa route (except the scene where he fights with Ponnambalam & Co) to establish justice.
Or, you can also call the film as a heady mix of Bollywood movies, based out of Gandhian principles. At the same time, director Udayan has followed all the rules of Tamil cinema, with a sole hope to woo the audience.
Sundar is a henchman who can be hired for any sort of rowdyism. One day, Manivannan asks him to steal the evidence related to the death of Collector Suganya from the elderly lawyer Vijayakumar.
When he is on his mission, Vijayakumar is accidentally killed. Even at the time of his death, the advocate wishes Sundar C ‘Vazhga Valamudan’. This brings a sea change in the rowdy’s heart. Now he wants justice for the deaths of Suganya and Vijayakumar. For that he takes the Gandhian route- Ahimsa.
It is not new for Sundar to don the role of a dhadha. He gives what the role demands from him. Anjali, the Katradhu Tamil girl learns glamour in this film. Vivek, Manivannan, Nasser, Malavika and Vindhya are also there.
Srikanth Deva’s music and K.S Selvaraj’s camera add strength to the script. Had the director Udayan avoided the preachy tone, Ayudham Seivom would have been a sharp entertainer.
