Anjaan - One Trick Pony?

The long wait for this day is all over and the grand release of Anjaan has become the trending topic across the maps. The film is directed by Lingusamy and is produced by Thirrupathi Brothers with UTV Motion Pictures adding the Midas-touch with a grand release. The film stars Suriya in two different appearances with Samantha in female lead and Vidyut Jamwal perform an important character. We bring you an exclusive review of Anjaan and check out how far the film satisfies the audiences.


Story

Krishna (Suriya) is seen arriving at Mumbai in search of his brother Raju Bhai (Suriya), the most powerful don. He comes across few persons who narrate their experience with Raju Bhai. As the story shifts to the flashback sequences, we are introduced to the world of Raju Bhai that is filled with immense friendship in the form of Chandru (Vidyut Jamwal) and his beautiful girlfriend (Samantha). Everything and everyone are happy until Raju Bhai and Chandru are killed mercilessly. Now it’s up to Krishna to find out what actually happened to Raju and Chandru. But again, he is now on the trap of ones who killed his brother Raju along with his close pal Chandru. 


Acting

Suriya alone is the greatest scorer here as his multi-dimensional looks and performance in two different shades of Raju Bhai and Krishna sends you into heavy astonishment. Be the scenes where he embosses his heroism with right kind of dialogue delivers and performance or the emotional ones of falling in love with a girl. His action and romantic avatar is indeed a huge pick of cherry for this film. There are many illustrative scenes in the film that make a mark of his iconic performance. The introduction of Krishna is so simple, but fantastic and in contrast, Raju Bhai sends the theatres with heavy mania. On the pars, his emotional breakdown on losing some of the important thing in his life is awesome.

Samantha keeps us in awe as she exerts up herculean effort in performance and her looks. It is not just her glamorous looks that makes her beautiful, but her commendable performance with cute expressions stand out to be a perfection. Her dialogue delivers are indeed perfectly done. Vidyut Jamwal having played negative in couple of movies like Billa II and Thuppakki surprises us with a different role. His performance is so natural and he wins most of the applause in theatres.

Manoj Bajpai as powerful don looks perfect with his costumes and his Holographic 3D to escape from the protagonist’s attack is a special surprise. Soori has not got much to do with the film, but his lines with Suriya are witty and so is Brahmanandam who appears only for a particular scene. 


Best

The screenplay is so much racy and engaging in many parts. Despites the film having a running length of almost 3hrs (2hrs.50mins), it keeps you completely bound without any distractions. The dialogues become intriguing part in the script and some of them are worthy of claps. Indeed, certain lines enhance the image of Suriya as mass hero and the cute lines by Samantha are pleasant. Vidyut Jamwal has fantastic lines to utter, which gains good applause. Hats off to Brinda Sarathy for his earnest efforts. Suriya’s dual shade of performance is awesome. The opening, intermission and climax portions are completely enthralling that creates the right mood among audiences. 


Technicalities

Technically, it’s Yuvan Shankar Raja and Santosh Sivan. The background score are top-notch and so are visuals cranked by the maverick filmmaker Santosh Sivan. The Mumbai is seen from a different perspective in this film. Editing by Anthony is sleek and stylish. 


Negative

There are few logics that go missing in the film. Samantha is the daughter of a powerful police officer and he suddenly disappear half way through the movie. Character introduction was poor. Every time they showed a villain character, audience burst out laughing. You won't know who to take seriously. The film is lengthy and action sequence are very much exaggerated, Violence every-where. They used Samantha just for glamour, gave her a bikini and asked her walk around the screen with it and she was gladly doing that. Songs were Mediocre, Yuvan disappointed us big time.  It is not the movie to make an impact on you, as a lot of things were happening on screen. you won't remember a thing when you walk out of the cinema. 

Verdict : One Trick Pony?

Stars : 2/5
