Anjaan

Full action packed movie. It lacks bit of romance, 2 many songs and they doesn't sync with the movie. Routine story line with a revenge by his younger brother. There are twists in the movie which can add on some advantage to the script. Comedy is at the beginning and at the end for sometime which is enjoyable. Few comedy scenes are for no use at all (Brahmanandam Entry). They could have utilized Vidyut Jamwal in a more better way as he is one of the new style fighter packed actor. Might be they thought it would overcome Surya styled fights.

Samantha cute acting will give a new experience for TamilNadu audience. Her Role in this script might not be something new from current generations scripts but you can enjoy her seeing her in short dresses, which is new for everyone. Bikini wear would be her first time ever on the screen.

So, over all 3 out of 5 just for surya, vidyut jamwal and Samantha. You can have fun with friends.

Anjaan, the Mumbai based gangster movie will not please all kind of the audience. Watch for Suriya, he is at his best especially his screen presence, style and of-course the fight sequence. Lingusami's most anticipated and hyped movie miserably fail to fulfill the expectation. Predictable twists and average screenplay definitely effected flow of the film. Krishna coming to Mumbai for finding his brother Raju, and how he will succeed in this, is the story of the Movie. Good team effort but lack of passion to deliver the awesome movie. Love scenes could have reduced bit and concentrate script and screenplay especially for a gangster movie. Director tried to add all elements such as friendship, romance, action, comedy and songs but, since weak screenplay and unconvincing twist there is nothing to make audience enthusiastic.

Positives : Screen presence of Suriya, Cinematography of Santhosh Sivan, Bang Bang song, BGM

Negatives : Direction, Twist, Dubbing

If you are looking for an outstanding action plot (or) a perfect time- pass flick, then definitely this is not the film you are looking for.

First of all, the story is itself not well scripted and executed with a very average screenplay. Obviously the film contains few mass scenes and interesting sequences. But that is not alone enough to lift a movie up.

The major assets of the movie are, Suriya, Vidhyut Jamwal, Santhosh Sivan & few sequences in the first half. Suriya, as usual had nailed his role perfectly. But the director had made his characterization badly. Vidhyut Jamwal had a different role in this movie and he had also perfectly done his role. Cinematographer Santhosh Sivan had pictured Mumbai in a better manner.

The major negatives of the film are unwanted scenes in the second half and unexciting screenplay. The film lost its track somewhere in the second half and till climax, the director failed to bring the audience's attention back to the film.

Overall, this movie may be a stuff for Suriya fans where they can enjoy Suriya's screen presence in every frame. But for others, definitely this is not a film they could enjoy.

Even before release Linguswamy claimed it to be part Bashaa (1955) and part Nayagan (1987) both which are undoubtedly classics in Tamil cinema but it turned out to be a movie with loosely connected characters and sequences. There is little or no entertainment after the plot is revealed at the interval to keep the audience glued to their seats. You need not be a frequent movie goer to easily guess what would happen next.

Positives - Surya-Linguswamy combo, Yuvan Shankar Raja's songs and music, Santhosh Sivan Cinematography.

Negatives - Story, Screenplay, Comedy Sequences (Little or no comedy), supporting casts of dubbing (Vidyut Jamwal and others), duration of the movie (over 3hrs).

Verdict - Suriya in his many promotional interviews said he rejected three other scripts and choose Anjaan. But I doubt whether Anjaan is the best one he could pick. If you are looking for sensible and entertaining cinema I would recommend giving it a miss.

Anjaan!!!! Good Cast ,Santhosh Sivan with the Camera , Yuvan with the Music and the over-rated Lingusamy calling the shots is a disappointment.

Plot Review: The Movie Starts of well but slowly the guessing game becomes too easy. The Placement of songs is too pathetic. It seems Lingusamy has followed a formula that as soon as a villain is killed a song is to be played. You literally start praying for no more songs at a point when the director cruelly plagues you with one.

Acting: There is not much acting the actors can do when the story & script is such a big let down. Barring the 1 scene from Manoj Bajpai where he proves his class there is nothing much to say.

Pros: Nothing to be dead honest!! Bang Bang Bang Song may be. Cons: Story , Screenplay & Direction.
