Anniyan - My View




Why should I review a film which is really anniyan to Tamil cinema ? Perhaps I should do for the same reason. At the end of movie I was happy for not that I like the movie but the presence of elements which can speak the Tamil cinemas new ventures into different plane. In my opinion, any film should not only entertain but should reflect society we live, educate the masses. Especially in our country cinema can be always a better medium to educate masses,because it can make subtler weaves in understanding patterns of viewers about society et others. In this film- Anniyan,the education is about Multiple-Personality Disorder. Not this going to help making enlighten minds but it atleast help people - majority -to add this term in their dictionary.

Coming to our film, Anniyan is not a repeated formula but certainly a new one to Tamil Cinema.One can watch the film for two reasons or for two V's i.e. for Vikram and Vivek .Multiple personality role each depicts extremist characteristics by Vikram is certainly applaudable. His roles which not only tested him but gave a new lease of life to Tamil cinema heros. Vivek , his irresistible wits left every one but to incessantly disturb ones laugh organs.

Shankar let down his audiences' expectation this time. Many unnecessary scenes included in screenplay like " Thiruvayaaru festival " . There are many a review to detail the full movie. I am not willing here as to follow my instinct to keep the write-up short.

In short,

First half of film : compromising expectations

second half of film : watchable

Overall : didn't specify that the inspiration of film is from the book "Tell me your Dreams"by Sidney Sheldon
