Adorable Tamil Son) is a 2007 Indian Tamil-language action film[1] directed by Bharathan, written by S. K. Jeeva and produced by Swargachitra Appachan.
The film stars Vijay in the main dual lead role (for the first time in his career) as an MBA student and a money-minded womanizer.
With his unique ability, he identifies several tragic future events, including the attempted murder of his lover by Prasad, his look-alike.
A psychiatrist confirms that it is Extra Sensory Perception power and says that the imageries visualized by Guru would actually happen sooner or later.
Sensing his opportunity, Prasad decides to act as Guru and intends to marry the rich Abhi.

Director Barathan has tried out a new format, where both the hero and the villain entertain the audiences with howlarious moments, that brings the house up.
Vijay makes it work and believable as he melds an effortfully from casual song froid to utter seriousness.
His terrific comic timing, his ability to mock and lampoon makes his performance absolutely hits a bulls eye.
He has dubbed impressively modulating his voice for both the characters, and the way he dances in the introductory title song is amazing.
[18] Bollywood Life stated, "When you think about Vijay's dance moves, the first song which comes to our mind his energetic, inspiring number Ellappugazhum from ATM - Azhagiya Tamil Magan.
Incidentally, the words from the song "Ellappugazhum iraivan ke" are the once uttered by Mozart of Madras AR Rahman every time he receives an award.
To the tunes of Rahman, Vijay's awe-inspiring dance moves will make you stand up from your seat, pumping your fist with new found energy.
[20] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "'Azhagiya...' is an enthusiastic attempt by a debutant maker to showcase his hero in a totally different mould.
But with Vijay's preferring to play it safe, and his reluctance to go the whole hog, the film is at most a stepping stone for such projects in future".
