Anegan

Danush's acting was brilliant. There it is, the most important thing said. There are other important things, such as the sense of fun, nice story, style, drama and entertainment value that makes up the best of commercial Tamil cinema. It is nice to see all of these come together.

The moviemaker has thought it fit to leave it up to the viewer to decide whether this was really a reincarnation movie, or only pretending to be that for most of the flick. But in the meantime, they were able to take us from historical gem- the history of tamils in Myanmar pre revolution to fun and cool Madras street lingo.

It did not feel like 2.5 hours, just grab a beer and relax with this very entertaining movie, no matter where you are from!

The movie was good. Dhanush acted well in the movie. Songs were also nice. The film is interesting. But some scenes are very boring. The film is good but the climax has not suited for the movie.

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

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.
