Aindhaam Thalaimurai Sidha Vaidhiya Sigamani (transl. Fifth generation siddha specialist Sigamani) also known by the initialism ATSVS, is a 2014 Indian Tamil-language comedy film written and directed by L. G. Ravichandar. The film features Bharath, making it his 25th project as an actor and Nandita Swetha in the leading roles, while Simon composes the film's music. The film was released on 22 August 2014.

Plot

The movie starts off with Sigamani as a young student refusing to go to school. His father, after having heated arguments with the school teacher, says his son does not have to go to school. Thus, Sigamani grows up illiterate and uneducated. After 25 years, he has grown up to be a siddha vaithiyar, following his family's roots. There is also a marriage broker in this story, Vijay Sethupathy, who tries hard to find an educated girl for Sigamani, but he is unable to. Due to the fact that Sigamani is uneducated, he is easily cheated by his friends. His only trustable friend is Paalpandi. In desperation to marry an educated girl, Sigamani plans to wait outside a college to find a girl to love. He then sees Nandini and decides to go after her. One day, Sigamani and Paalpandi follow Nandini and end up in her house. After listening to an unknown phone call, Nandini's father Chinnadurai mistakes Sigamani to be a doctor who has studied MBBS and arranges for the marriage, which also takes place successfully and Sigamani is happy as his dream of marrying an educated girl has come true. Before the interval, Ravichandar places another major twist in the story to keep the audience in the edge of their seats.

Cast

Production

In December 2013, it was reported that Bharath and Nandita would come together for a comedy film to be directed by L. G. Ravichandran. Bharath's character was inspired by a relative of Ravichandran. As part of their research, the makers met various siddha practitioners across Tamil Nadu. Over twenty comedy actors notably joined the film, increasing its scale. Filming locations included Dindigul, Palani and Pollachi.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by Simon. It also featured Vijay Antony singing a complete song for the first time, for a composer other than himself.

The audio was released by veteran director K. Balachander. The launch of the film's album was held on 2 July 2014. Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog stated "Simon continues to show promise after Ainthu Ainthu Ainthu!".

Critical reception

M Suganth of The Times of India wrote, "ATSVS is a film so dated that by the interval the reek of staleness is so strong that we start looking at the ticket to see if there was an expiry date mentioned". Sify wrote that the film is a "totally outdated illogical film. Such kind of comedy films used to work in the 1980s and early 90s, but modern audiences ask too many questions". Baradwaj Rangan wrote for The Hindu, "The story is something that appears to have been scraped up from the reject pile of K. Bhagyaraj's scripts, circa the 1980s". R S Prakash of Bangalore Mirror reviewed the film more favourably, rating it 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, "The debutant director has tried to highlight the importance of education stressing that it's imperative for every parent to send their children to school. Looks like the first-time filmmaker has been trained well".
