Azhagu Sundaram alias Parattai) is a 2007 Indian Tamil-language crime action film directed by Suresh Krissna.

[1] Azhagu Sundaram is a village bumpkin who comes from Tirunelveli to Chennai to earn money to buy gold bangles for his beloved mother Meenakshi.

Parattai is forced to take the aruval as gang wars erupt and single-handedly, he wipes out Deva, Kesavan and Suri, all dreaded criminals in the city.

[citation needed] Sify wrote, "Parattai Engira Azhagu Sundaram is a steamy sob story harping on mother-son sentiments' reminding you of 60's tearjerker's laced with lot of violence and Rajnikanth's favourite director Suresh Krishna's presentation and direction is old fashioned, to put it mildly".

[9] Sriram Iyer of Rediff wrote, "Director Suresh Krishna has relied on melodrama to make up for the story's deficiencies.

"[11] Lajjavathi of Kalki praised the acting of Dhanush and Livingston, music and cinematography but felt Krishna's screenplay lacked speed and concluded the suspense of whether mother and child will meet up to a certain point starts to creep up.
