Anniyan

anniyan...the story that reminds me of my own frustrations; a masterpiece to the core reflecting the need for Indian public to think ( at least ) of their basic responsibilities as citizens; not anticipating any major change in their behaviors though. a must watch for every Indian., and in my opinion it rightly deserves the national award for both movie & it's hero. have seen the movie 6 times till now... shankar sir is really great and vikram...too good to be loved by one and all for his histrionics.i always wondered what if god is physically present among us punishing the wrong-doers..the subject of the movie falls in this line..in all of us, if we closely observe, there's an intrinsic desire to be like someone or be someone at different points in our day-to-day life...the protagonist arises from one of this inner manifestations of the base character which is obviously meek like scores of us..you can't expect a subject like this hitting the Indian screens, thanks for the director for taking up a bold risk who has delivered a punch of entertainment along with his greatest asset..that is story-telling.in this movie you will find yourself, the hell, and even the road to heaven too;

My experiences with Bollywood movies are quite good. Although I only watched the ones that had a higher rating. So it's normal that they are good.

This movie is somewhat different from the other movies I've watched. Those were more comedy's. This movie also his a comedy side. But it's much more than that. It's much more complex than a comedy. The other personality's from Ambi are very interesting. Anniyan and Remo. Anniyan is his dark side and Remo his romantic side. I won't tell you any more. Because if you like to see something different from India watch this.

Good luck with finding it! I'm lucky I had the opportunity to watch this movie.

Shankar is my favorite film maker. His movies have speed, tightly woven script. His movies are frame by frame perfect. He hits at corrupt system hard with varying backdrops.

This one too hits at system. But the treatment is diff from all his other movies. Acting is extremely good. Sharp camera work which is the trademark of Shankar is terrific in this movie too.

I am not in the habit of disclosing story in my reviews. So I would say that story is very different and is not quite common. Movie has some very light resemblance to his own old creation Hindustani(Kamal Hasan) where he uses some old Indian traditional art to tackle corruption. In this movie too he uses some thing which is part of very old Indian culture.

Movie has suspense which keeps audience at the edge of their seats.

Thank you Shankar for these movies. May god give you unlimited energy and age and you keep making terrific movies. Eagerly waiting for Amitabh, Rajnikanth and Kamal Hasan in single movie together.

Yeah it's an excellent movie.Shankar always do a great job.He is ,without no doubt the spiel berg of India. Vikram's best film of all time. one of the best films ever made in world cinema. Complete entertainer. if it was made in Hollywood it would have rcvd at least 4 Oscars 1.best actor 2.best action 3.best direction 4.best screen play

all directors must see this movie to study about how to direct a good entertainer.no flaws at all.3 hours of pure entertainment. the only drawback of this films is the actress i didn't like her. i love shankar movie.none of his films has failed in box office to say clearly they were very huge hits.

This movie has progressed Indian Cinema by leaps and bounds.The truth is I was pretty skeptical when I went to the theater.I was just tagging along with my friends.But to much of my AMAZEMENT is was extremely good.Vikram acting was superb, as he portrays three very different personalities naturally.Sadha on the other hand acted very well.The whole cast especially viveks jokes keeps you entertained the entire movie.The movie is so well balanced that it doesn't leave the audience a sense of morbidness during the murder parts of the movie.Its usual for all tamil movies to have supernatural element for the fight scenes.Director Shankar cleverly shot anniyan movie fight scenes to the next level with 360 degree angle matrix style fight scenes.Now thats a mammoth leap and a first for a TAMIL MOVIE!!Needless to say Harish Jayraj did a very good job with the music with a nice blend of different music genres.The song settings were very artistic.The computer graphics for the movie is the best yet for a tamil movie.A very professional Hollywood style movie with the Indian touch.A very enjoying movie.DO not read the reviews, see the movie and judge it yourself.

Just one note when watching Anniyan: it's very different than the average stereotype tamil movie so KEEP AN OPEN MIND WHEN WATCHING IT!!!
