Anti Indian

There is no head or tail to this one line story which the debutant director has chosen to film for two long hours. Two hours is short for a Tamil film, yet for this script, is hard to tolerate. In Blue Shirt Maran's own words, "does he think he is Bhagyaraj in screenplay?"

We are not told what is the main reason to take this film, yet we are told many WhatsApp forwarded texts as the message of the movie. The characters were made with some purpose and no growth at all, everyone is half-baked and ill-conceived from start to finish.

There is no plot development which is thrilling enough for the tension attempted to build, any school kid can easily guess what would come next. The performance of the actors like Radharavi and Aadukalam Naren are wasted. Although the comedy punches are well placed, they are all shown in the trailer and promo itself. After seeing the promo videos, do not go with expectations of a comedy movie. This is a tragedy, both in genre and attempt.

About the music, please ignore if you are not tone deaf. The songs are annoying and seem to showcase the director's or producer's friends, who just want to make cheesy faces before the shoddy camera. Even the few scenes which attempt cheap publicity by targeting famous people in Tamil Nadu are not worth watching and have already been done to death in online memes. If you do not mind all this, watch this, yet not with your family. The profanity here is intense.

Overall, the director makes a movie with a shoestring budget and has succeeded in creating a two hour long video. After making this, he could have seen this and decided that if he releases in YouTube, no one will watch after YouTube decides to not recommend due to several dislikes. Hence, he has shown this tearjerker to prominent personalities and promoted this fervently notwithstanding a national tragedy. Do not think the title "Anti Indian" is for this reason, this is for allegedly showing what is named so by some people. Yet, is this named so for being against the Indians who will definitely cry after watching this movie? Only the witty director could explain, as many are crying as to why they watched this movie.

In summary, if you are a fan of Blue Shirt Maran, stick to watching him on YouTube. Not even a single scene of him will satisfy you as commonly he is seen uttering jokes online and he does not even utter a single word in the movie. If you like watching a movie with a message no matter how ill made it is, maybe you can watch this with a lot of pain.

People who are telling negative reviews either they are haters of blue sattai maran or they just have an habit of expecting commercial factors. Understand this Blue Sattai Maran has give controversial reviews for movies which have high commercial factors he has actually given some positive reviews for which film which have art content I know he did only for few but let's consider him as a commercial hater who just dislikes commercial movies in that perspective you actually see a different blue sattai... And also people who have habit of watching only commercial movies they just really going to hate this product, they will be saying it's boring,lag,slow, where is the story? And things goes on and people like these will mention this film is an utter flop or useless film but remember this film has selected by authorities of international film festival and do you think they selected because this is an useless film and they don't have any other jobs... To people like these what I am saying is that this is film got some art values which actually connects you with your mind and emotions that is why it is an art simply just because you like/need commercial or having an habit of commercial doesn't mean this film is useless you just don't have an habit of observing the art in films and it's okay too.. there is nothing wrong with that. And I agree that there are few technical mistakes in this film and I hope there would be many but considering this as independent film these are just normal things and according to screenplay,story,acting,director's vision this film really played a good part.

This movie reminded me of a local proverb used by my granny.. "Ooruku elam sagunam solumam palli, athu poi vilumam kazhani paanai la thulli.." It means a lizard makes noise and warns people (it is believed that lizard's sound is associated with approval /disapproval .. Seriously!!!!! Trust me it is funny).. But the same lizard which helps people always finds way to fall inside water pots and die..

Those who watch the director's youtube reviews would understand what I mean. If you wish to watch the movie, it's your choice.

RATED 6/10 Language: Tamil

Watchable political drama with some very god dialogs. The dead body and the religious political with that one is handled cleverly. The movie has average pace from the beginning to end and it gives some documentary feel in most of the scenes.

The story becomes bit predictable in the progress and the entertainment value is nil. Still the movie is watchable because of the dialogs and the twisted events on the screenplay. The small budget and Maran guts are really appreciateable factors in this movie.

One time watchable drama.

Saying it as comedy /drama genre and most of the comedy scenes didn't come out well. Imperfect camera angles, lose story line and tooo much lag. The story losses its connection in between and struggle to take up. He could have done justice to his own reviews for other films. Overall don't waste your precious time!!!
