The king of box office “Surya” rocks the theatre. Anjaan reach over 1400+ theatres all over the world. The story is set against the familiar backdrop of Mumbai. Lingusamy's attempt to create a "Badshah" out of Suriya has missed the mark. The story revolves around 'Raju bhai' played by Suriya who commands respect and fear in equal measures among the people of Mumbai. This half-baked don tale supposedly loaded with twists, turns, loyalty, treachery, risky action sequences ends up being a stale affair due to poor screenplay.

The dazzling Surya looks dashing and smart. The Neymar like hair do, toned down costumes and exquisitely built body are all thoroughly convincing.

Santhosh Sivan's yellow DI throughout the film gives the much needed look to the Mumbai based underworld film. There was no darkness in the compositions, to bring out the brevity of the script. All the gloss and shine goes with the art direction and shot divisions. Anthony sets a pace and rhythm to this almost 3 hour long commercial film. Lingusamy has written the film based on the 'present to memories' filled non-linear narration to detail a suspense attempted story. Dialogues to a great extent are acceptable except for one that keeps coming along.

The Tamil mass audiences want popcorn films. Essentially, the film has to get over before the eatable gets over. Anjaan takes its own sweet time to start and wrap. Though not much time is spent on how Raju and Chandru became a name to be feared, the Raju Bhai phenomenon is given the typical cliched hype almost till the second half.

Samantha is cute and apt. The love portions almost work. Yuvan's background score gives varied colors. The siren used in the BGM during the build-ups is an experimentation. Special attention could have been given to the lip-syncs.

Starting from the perspective of the challenged Krishna who goes on the picaresque search of his lost brother, the story dwells too much on the already experienced cinematic liberties like the act of love, friendship and revenge.

The pre-interval stunt sequence needs a special mention. Stunt Silva has made it look live and realistic. Thanks to Surya, Vidyut gets his slice of stunts in the flashback. Dissolved characters, unfurnished villains, stereotypical narration and song placement duds the flow of the film. The comedy portion of Brahmanandham forcefully put post-interval catering to the Telugu audience, is a speed breaker to the already lurching movie.

The predictable climax makes the whole product less impactful. One palpable connect towards the denouement is a life saver. Anjaan goes to the list of, 'Could have been better' movies.

As per the reports over theaters around us, Anjaan makes a good business everywhere. But Slightly affecting   Ajay Devagan- Rohith Shetty Movie “Singam Returns” over north India.

Bottom Line

Surely it will be a big hit in box office. Lingusamy's writing is a big let-down with scenes and twists along predictable lines. The writing department and script are weak while punch dialogues may evoke unintentional laughter

Verdict

 Suriya and Anjaan, the big positives, but screenplay is let down the movie slightly. Surely the movie will be a big entertainment of the year. Just sit and enjoy on theater.

Rating  :  6 / 10
