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!

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.

The movie revolves around a girl (Madhu), who remembers her previous births. In every era, there forms a love story between the lead pairs.

Director K.V. Anand had mixed the reincarnation concept with some commercial elements to satisfy the audience. The major positive of the film is its lead cast, the hype around the story and rich visuals.

Dhanush had delivered one of his best performance in the film. He was very good in his characters Murugappa and Kaali. And the surprise package is Amyra Dastur. In this film, the lead heroine had much scope for her performance in the film and she had done her job with ease.

Supporting actors, like Karthik, Ashish Vidhyarthi and Mukesh Tiwari have also done their part well. 'Danga Maari' song is the pick of the film and that would be a treat for the audience.

The negative sides are few. The flick resembles to be a modern version of yesteryear Tamil blockbuster film "Nenjam Marappathillai" and final moments of the film are quite predictable, alike all Tamil films.

Forget the negatives. Overall, the film gives you a little fantasy feel and unlike his previous flick, director K.V. Anand had concentrated well on the screenplay and mixed some moments of suspense to keep the audience engaged to this romance flick.

This movie is worth your money and time. Do watch it !

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.
