Azhagu Raja is the only son of Muthukrishnan and Meenakshi. He owns an unpopular cable channel called "Triple A" in Tenkasi. The cable company has only two employees: Raja and Kalyanam. Nothing they do improves the company's fortunes. By chance, Raja meets Chitra Devi Priya when she is singing at a wedding. Her unusual voice irritates him, and they argue. However, Priya eventually agrees that she cannot sing well. Priya says she fails at everything she tries, even suicide. As their friendship blossoms, Raja tells his father about Priya, which triggers a memory in his father about his past.
Muthukrishnan used to work for Burma Ramaswamy after being recommended by Kali. Meenakshi, his daughter, falls for him. Seeing his hard work and dedication, Ramaswamy promotes him to more responsible work in the theatre and appoints Kali under him. Meena asks for an answer in two days, but an enraged Kali, filled with jealousy, plots to pit Ramaswamy against Muthukrishnan and is successful when Muthukrishnan is ousted by Ramaswamy due to a misunderstanding.
Raja steps into Muthukrishnan's 1980s world. Muthukrishnan and Priya's father Kandhaswamy reject Raja's marriage to Priya. Muthukrishnan and Kandhaswamy meet and realise that jealousy of Kali, Kalyanam's father, was the reason for the problems of the families. Finally, Kalyanam tells the real story, and both families unite to marry Raja and Priya.

Scenes go on and on with no point, and as a result, the film goes on and on pointlessly."[24]Rediff.com gave it 1.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "All in All Azhagu Raja is an absolutely ridiculous and tortuously long roemantic comedy film that seriously tests your patience."[25]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".[26]Behindwoods said, "All in All Azhaguraja lacks the Rajesh – Santhanam magic" and rated it 2.25 out of 5.[27]
