What do you get when David Dhawan directs SJ Surya’s script for Vaali? You get Azhagiya Tamizh Magan. Vijay gets so side-tracked by a half-baked idea that uses ESP like vadumaanga, that you wonder why he even agreed to star in this dud! ESP and a double role holds fantastic opportunities, but not for a star like Vijay who needs to massage his stardom with more predictable sequences, film after film – something we’ve come to enjoy these days. There’s an absurdly fake outlook throughout the film that even for a make-believe prince like Vijay, ATM seems like an ambitious overkill.
