ANNIYAN

At last managed to see Anniyan yday.

Frankly the movie is not upto the expectation.
But these expectations were built around the hypes created pre-release of the movie.

The very way of handling the story and the knot of the movie tells that Shankar is not ready for another "BOYZ" at any cost.

He chose the same knot of INDIAN and polished with different UI and released the product with some good new features.

If at all the movie the goes well it will be because of VIKRAM.
If at all the movie gets some award, it will be because of VIKRAM.
If at all the movie sets some kind of standards it will be because of VIKRAM.

The above "if at alls" does not take any credit away from Shankar and his crew for the hard work and effort they had put for this movie.
its a FANTASTIC FANTASY if to be told in one line.

Below samples are there to show that u r watching Shankar's movie...
-- Frog being electrocuted in the flash back scene
-- Painting the entire stretch of streets for a song sequence of just a few minutes
-- Kms long silk saree
-- Thiruvaiyaaru music festival scenes
-- aiyangaaru veettu alage song back drop such a wonderful flower stretch
-- VIKRAM bringing moon and stars to Sadha's house to show them that she is more beautiful
-- The above scene is the most poetic scene in this action movie

VIKRAM ...
He is just amazing in all three roles.
He differentiates these three roles , REMO-AMBI-ANNIYAN with just body language ...
He is too good and even Prakash Raj known for his versatile acting finds the going very tough.

BEST SCENE should be the interrogation scene between Prakash Raj and VIKRAM.
I still wonder if anybody could still depict Multi Personality Disorder better than this scene.
A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO VIKRAM for that wonderful scene.

He just needs fraction of second to change into any character that too infront of moving camera.

Much of the scenes when anniyan talks you could not avoid thinking about INDIAN KAMAL speaking.
Even background music at times reminds about MUDALVAN.
But Harris Jayaraj had done a fantastic job in giving all the numbers to be mix of melo,rock,beat.

Sujatha had done wonderfully well with his dialogues.few samples...
-- These roses are thinking they are the most beautiful ones in this world. Thats why i had sent those to your house. Let them see you and realise whats beauty all about.
-- Moon was thinking that it has got the most shining face in this world. Thats why i got it with me to your house to see your face.

Vivek had done exceptionally well with his comedy track that comes along the story.
AFTER A LONG BREAK, VIVEK... KEEP IT GOING.
its good to hear his ' ADA PAAVIGALA ' after long time.... :).

Art director Sabu Siril and stunt director Peter hain to be mentioned for their fantastic job too.
Good to see Raju Sundaram for a song sequence on screen.
Welcome back Raju after ur crush/crash with Simran.
The dance sequences were really missing you.

Overall this movie would have been much better hit if Shankar had given through out the movie atleast 50% of what he had given in the final 30 mins of the movie.
