Aasai comes in as a fresh breeze of air for Ajith. He was on the crux of his career, but this film will prove to be a turning point and invariably be amongst his best. The film is heading for a hit and Ajith is not much behind to kiss success again.

Aasai is not to be missed. Vasanth’s ability as a director is proved with the handling of the subject, the cast and the treatment. The movie is a thorough entertainment and everything along goes ahead to fulfill it. Though the story treads the same line as Vaali, yet there are very many distinguishable features. In Vaali, an elder brother gives to unethical thoughts for his brother’s wife though here it’s for wife’s sister.  An army officer Madhavan (Prakashraj) yearns for his sister-in-law Yamuna (Suvalakshmi) while on a trip to her place. Yamuna is in love with Jeeva (Ajith) and thus turns him down. Madhavan imbibes to his desire and even kills his wife Ganga (Rohini) in an effort to marry Yamuna on the context of providing a caring mother for his child. When Yamuna along with her father heads for his place, Jeeva follows them. Yamuna’s father consents for the marriage and Madhavan plots to get rid of Jeeva.

Ajith and Suvalakshmi are commendable in their acting. From their romance to the naturality of their feelings, they give a good effort.  The way Vasanth has pulled the scenes is creditable. Prakashraj performs with ease the heartless lust-crazed goon and steal the attention for most part of the movie. His plotting to kill Jeeva makes up the substantial scenes and develops the climax. The actors play their part and the good sequential scenes do the needful. The climax has punch and the thrill continues without a break. The director recovers aptly some small cracks in the plot. Some scenes do tend to quench but they are handled suitably.

Soundtrack by Deva is commendable and he has given out mind-blowing songs. The picturisation of the songs further enhance them onscreen.
