Anjaan

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.

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.

The bomb was the director's over confident speech. I would have given more stars if he didn't speak like this.

But everything was good: Characters, cinematography, bgm, songs etc...

Only negative which affected the movie was the director's speech

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.

I find Movie is very bit more lengthy and also it is not interesting enough Somehow there is some romance and comedy and surya acting which is saving the film
