    Accept the movie's premises and enjoy

    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.

    An Engaging Romance Thriller

    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 !

    Romantic Twistin Thriller

    Director K.V.Anand who brought us blockbusters like Ayan and Ko took a different story line it seems.I like the twists in this movie.Although the story has many character, actor Dhanush played it well.Navarasa nayagan is back with his superb performance.As this one for Valentine day special, it has nice romantic story with thrilling ending.The interconnected story keeps us in the story track.The songs bring complete understanding of the track.The fight scenes well taken and also not covered up many scenes but limited.Expected song "Danga Maari" was nice in the screenplay and everyone enjoyed it.Character linking with different stories was perfect with each love stories in it.But i could predict the ending little bit.

    As a whole,this movie keeps me entertained back to back with comedy,love and thrilling.

    Anegan is an another entertaining psychological romantic- thriller flick from kollywood after the blockbuster Anniyan

    Anegan is one of the best kollywood film in recent times.Director K.V Anad concentrated more on the screenplay this time after Maatran.The plot is superb and etched well.The story contains little fantasy but Anegan is entertaining all the way.Dhanush is best at his maximum,Amrya Dasthur is gorgeous in all roles,supporting artists like Karthick,Thalaivasal Vijay,Jagan,Aishwarya Devan are best in their respective roles.The cinematography is excellent by Om Prakash.Harris Jayaraj is in full form "Danga Maari" is a racy song."Roja Kadale" is a different romantic song,"Aathadi Aathadi","Thodu Vaanam" are good melodies.Harris jayaraj is excellent in mixing different emotions in song sequences and background score is top-notch.Editing is crisp.Totally Anegan satisfied me 100%. I am avoiding some few negatives due to film"s entertaining quotient.

    Rating:8.5/10 Verdict:Excellent film

    Wonderful movie that is a synopsis of what Tamil cinema means

    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!

    • Trivia
      KV Anand revealed that Ilayathalapathy Vijay was his first choice for Anegan as he wrote the script with the actor in his mind. But unfortunately, due to his prior commitments for AR Murugadoss' Kaththi, Vijay had turned down the film. The cinematographer-turned director even mentioned that it was Vijay who had put forward Dhanush's name for the film. So that's how Dhanush landed himself into Anegan.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to remove elements of strong violence (in this instance, blood spurts from gunshots, bloody stabbings, and the chopping off of a finger) in order to obtain a 12A classification. An uncut 15 classification was available.
