Anjaan

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

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.

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.

Anjaan - a much awaited Don story of this year with a great crew in it, Surya, Vidyut, Samantha, Yuvan, Santhosh Sivan & Linguswamy. But the movie doesn't go well as expected...

Strength :

Surya's daring look :

Surya looks is daring in this movie. Seems to be the best ever look for Surya. Everyone is waiting to see his stylish look in the movie. The way he took the toothpick from his mouth in most of the scenes was awesome.

Yuvan's music:

Its bang bang all over the world. Rocking intro song by Yuvan made the movie to rock. Kadhal Aasai with Yuvan style with superb visuals its a treat to audience.

Santhosh Sivan:

Santhosh Sivan cinematography was the great plus point in this movie. His visuals of Mumbai was awesome.

Weakness:

Story and Screenplay:

As a much awaited Don story it doesn't have any daring scenes. Billa 2 was not a huge hit, but its having many mass scenes which is missing in this movie. Movie goes very slow and its too boring in some scenes.

Length of the movie:

Length of the movie is almost 2 hrs 50 min which is another minus point. There are many unnecessary scenes such as Surya, Vidyut and Samantha dances for Hindi songs and Ek Tho Theen song (which cant be removed as it is sung by Surya).

Twists and turns:

There are too many twists and turns in the movie which are easily predictable by audience. Whatever Lingu thought its gonna be a great twist was guessed by most of the audience easily.

Vidyut Role:

After Billa2 and Thuppaki Vidyut is doing his 3rd film in Tamil. In 1st two movies Vidyut role was awe somatic, there were many fan followers even though he was a villain. But in Anjaan he doesn't have a good role. Only one fight with Main villain was good. There is not much expected chemistry for Surya and Vidyut.

Facebook comments :

There are some Facebook comments to be noted

"Viswa Bhai is better than Raju Bhai"

"Both Vishwa and Raju Bhai failed to impress the audience"

"Before release Anjaan will be like Baatcha for Rajini, Billa for Ajith, Thuppaaki for Vijay. After release Anjaan is like Baaba for Rajini, Alwar for Ajith, Sura for Vijay.
