Anegan

Story:

The film opens in Burma, many years ago, with Samudra (Amyra) falling in love with Murugesan (Dhanush). Circumstances tear them apart, but decades later Madhumitha (Amyra), allegedly the reincarnation of Samudra, has glimpses of the past. She meets people who are rebirths of the ones she moved closely with, in what she believes to be her previous birth in Burma. Eventually, Madhu meets Ashwin (Dhanush), reincarnation of Murugesan. But is it only about the love that survives time, and joins hands in the next birth? Or, are all her dreams about the hallucinations from use of drugs? Will it help solve real mysteries? Watch the movie to find out.

Cast:

Dhanush chooses not by heroism, but by story. And hence, trust him when the man who went unflinchingly through 33 scripts, has chosen to nod to KV Anand. 'Anegan' casts him in multiple roles - each for every time period that the film casts him in; and he makes his presence deeply felt - be it the wage worker with the mind of a precise engineer, or even the knight in the heroine's dreams. Amyra is paired with Dhanush in all those eras, but the performance of hers that stands out the most is as Madhumitha. It is quite a task to behave quirky and also come across as being honest in the same package; as Madhu, she manages to get her levels insanity impact you straight out of the screen. And bow down to Karthik! Madhu's boss Kiran, like every other character, Karthik also has a role in one of the stories of the work-stressed heroine. But in every scene, Karthik justifies why he is hailed as being extraordinary.

Picture:

Film by KV Anand, so rest assured for the visuals, as they are undoubtedly world class. Credit goes to Om Prakash to have highlighted each era with the complimenting tinge of colour, and for recreating the heroine's dreams as how it really is dreamt. Given the multi-layered story, the screenplay takes many twists and confusing turns. But in the end, that's what ensures to glue you to the seat. With mystery at every level, the screenplay makes you want to wait and watch. Thanks to Anthony for putting it all together crisply.

What could have been better:

Though narrated as convincingly as possible, the heroism fails to hail as high as aimed, owing to what you could fairly see coming up.

1. At every twist of suspense, you end up concluding the next move, predictably. However, story at large remains concealed.

2. CG in the scene of accident and climax could have been done better.

What comes as surprise:

The moments to cherish in the movie, span farther than the much awaited 'Danga Maari'. The song is worth the wait, alright, but there are other portions that treat us equally happy.

1. Picturing of songs are classy

2. Action sequences are complete and logical. Also, unnecessary fight possibilities are avoided, saving peace.

3. Despite the absence of a dedicated comedy track, there are many a light moments.

4. Dialogues are precise - Subha has nailed it!

5.Everyone is addicted to the album, and Harris keeps the josh intact in the theatres as well. However songs are quite a many, which acts as friction to the flow of story. Background score is refreshing and racy, making the movie experience enjoyable.

6.Dhanush and Kartick has steal the show by their performance..

'Anegan' savours all tastes. There is action, a little bit of revenge, lighthearted comedy, smothering love, all served with a twist from the usual.

Rating: 8/10

Verdict: Twists and Turns,A different love story for Tamil cinema.........

Reincarnation, never ending romance and the interconnectivity of the different stories in one single film, the simple narration of the complex story just multiplies the curiosity among the audience, it's about the 2015 Tamil release ''Anegan''.

Story revolves in and around the serial murder mystery that is been revealed by the lady as if she is experiencing some sort of Déjà vu, the interconnectivity with every story makes the perfect narration, this film seems to be moving in the fast phase but the crispy editing and the grooming screenplay makes the flow interesting, Harris rocks with his very catchy tones, though the storyline seems to be repeated ones it has very unique way of presentation and designing, the highlight of this movie is of course Dhanush who is marvellous in all the role he played on-screen, he grab the attention of the audience with his mesmerizing performance and transforming looks, and Amyra seems to have the confidence presence, her expressions are of top and are convincing, Karthik is an another person to be appreciated for his antagonist shade.

Anegan seems to be losing its grip in some phase but the perfect on time performances by actors patch it up, K V Anand had given some most interesting stuff with fast narrative line, casting and the peculiar settings could be added as its winning strategy, whether it's a romantic scene or the aggressive outburst of the lead its presentation has those intense feelings that absorbs its viewers into it and the romance gets the special preference in the movie.

KV Anand's Unique screenplay and direction. Casting for this film is perfect . Must watch film . The Ideology of this film and story is fresh.

I'm quite surprised that this movie hasn't got a higher rating on IMDb. Anegan showed me how well Dhanush can act. His modern day persona Ashwin fell a bit flat for me, perhaps because character-wise he's the dullest and there isn't much character development, but Dhanush's portrayals of Murugappa and Kaali were fantastic.

I wish the female characters were stronger. Actually, they're far from weak personalities, yet we're not shown how their strength of character carries over outside the realm of finding their soulmate and never letting them go. Amyra's character is a perpetual damsel- in-distress needing Dhanush's character to take care of her. That said, I think Amyra delivered excellently.

Aside from a few unanswered questions I have (deleted scenes seem to provide some answers) and a little salt for the extra implausibility of villain's demise in the end, Anegan was beautifully shot, well executed and very entertaining!

Update: I revisited the film and feel I have to mention that Anegan has great supporting characters. And, I can't get the soundtrack out of my head.

Anegan is one of the best kollywood film in recent times.Director K.V Anad concentrated more on the screenplay this time after Maatran.The plot is superb and etched well.The story contains little fantasy but Anegan is entertaining all the way.Dhanush is best at his maximum,Amrya Dasthur is gorgeous in all roles,supporting artists like Karthick,Thalaivasal Vijay,Jagan,Aishwarya Devan are best in their respective roles.The cinematography is excellent by Om Prakash.Harris Jayaraj is in full form "Danga Maari" is a racy song."Roja Kadale" is a different romantic song,"Aathadi Aathadi","Thodu Vaanam" are good melodies.Harris jayaraj is excellent in mixing different emotions in song sequences and background score is top-notch.Editing is crisp.Totally Anegan satisfied me 100%. I am avoiding some few negatives due to film"s entertaining quotient.

Rating:8.5/10 Verdict:Excellent film
