Anjaan

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.

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

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, 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

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
