As their friendship blossoms, Raja tells his father, Muthukrishnan, about Priya which triggers a memory in Muthukrishnan about his past.

He used to work for Burma Ramaswamy (Nassar) after being recommended by Kali (Santhanam), Seeing his hard work & dedication, Burma Ramaswamy promotes him to more responsible work in the theatre and appoints Kali under him.

Muthukrishnan and Kandhaswamy meet & realise that jealousy of Kali, Kalyanam's father was the reason for the problems of the families; finally Kalyanam tells the real story & both families unite to marry Raja and Priya .[4]

Cast

Production, promotion and distribution

Rajesh first announced a project with Karthi called Kaagitha Kappal but it did not proceed and Rajesh went on to Oru Kal Oru Kannadi.[5] In 2012, Rajesh announced "All in All Azhaguraja",[6] He named the new project with Karthi after a character played by Goundamani in the film Vaidehi Kaathirundhal.[7] Rajesh's usual comedian Santhanam would provide the comic relief. Kajal Aggarwal was selected as the heroine. She had worked with Karthi in Naan Mahaan Alla.[8][9] Prabhu joined the cast.[10] Initially, Narain denied being a part of the film project.[11] Filming began with tests and stills and then on 2 March 2013, the filming schedule began.[12] The satellite rights of the film were sold to Sun TV. The film's first look teaser was released on 6 September 2013.[13] The theatrical trailer was released on 9 October 2013.[14]

Reception

All in All Azhagu Raja received negative reviews from critics.[3] Baradwaj Rangan wrote, "What a wretched, bloated, unfunny mess this is, with the ugliest segues between comedy and melodrama in recent memory. Scenes go on and on with no point, and as a result, the film goes on and on pointlessly."[15] Rediff.com gave it 1.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "All in All Azhagu Raja is an absolutely ridiculous and tortuously long romantic comedy film that seriously tests your patience."[16] Sify wrote, "All in All Azhaguraja falls flat on its face... it is an ordeal to sit through this profoundly irritating film...it lacks basic storyline and took the audiences for granted. The film has no real script to speak of, at best a skeletal plot and in its final verdict termed the film as a "Big Bore".[17] Prakash Upadhyaya of OneIndia called it "A comedy story presented in a boring way."[18] Behindwoods said, "All in All Azhaguraja lacks the Rajesh - Santhanam magic" and rated it 2.25 out of 5.0.[19] Indiaglitz said that while Rajesh has a history for being able "to milk humor out of a thin storyline without much trouble," he failed to do so in this film.[20]
