Anjaan delivers what it had promised us with its trailers. In fact, it exceeds our very own expectations, thereby delivering a complete entertainer. Hats off to director Lingusamy for bringing us a neat family entertainer after a long time on the screens… The film has a simple story that you might have seen many times before on the screens, but the gripping narration, clap worthy dialogues, mind-blowing performance by Suriya and a brilliant casting of actors make it a special movie.
Anjaan comes from the most successful director of Tamil cinema, Lingusamy and is produced by Thirrupathi Brothers in collaboration with UTV Motion Pictures. The film has a grand release all over the world with a huge number of screens running into 1500. Behind Frames brings you an exclusive movie review of Anjaan with a crisp analysis.
Krishna (Suriya), an innocent good looking youngster with a limping leg and walking stick comes to Mumbai in search of his brother Raju Bhai (once again played by Suriya). Though he doesn’t find him, his realms exist there as even the thieves return back the stolen laptop after seeing his face on screensaver. Few people he meets in Mumbai speak off his realms and finally Karim Bhai who was present with Raju narrates the complete story. Actually, Raju Bhai and Chandru (Vidyut Jamwal) are close friends and powerful gangsters ruling the Mumbai city. Their friendship has no limit and Raju Bhai is furthermore blessed to have a girl come into his life (played by Samantha). With a loveable friend and affectionate girlfriend in his life, Raju Bhai doesn’t want anything. But one day, Chandru and Raju are gruesomely murdered. On hearing this, Krishna becomes so much disturbed and now the ones who killed his brother plan the same fate for him.
Suriya showcases the prowess in acting that turns to be incredulously fantabulous. No other actor could have made these roles as Krishna and Raju Bhai with so much of excellence. The film elevates the level of Suriya as a mass hero and as Lingusamy assured, there is claps when he just walks into the frame. Suriya as Raju Bhai offer a superb treat on action, romance and emotional domain. Watch out for the scenes when he falls in love with Samantha and his outburst on losing something he cared more than his life. Samantha is the refreshing element in Anjaan. Her appearance leaves you speechless and her glamorous looks take out our breath. Her body language and exerting the exact emotions to the demand of script is extraordinary. Vidyut Jamwal is almost like a second hero as he scores the most after the dual avatars of Suriya. His action sequence, fun-filled dialogues with Suriya and Samantha are so nice and something we didn’t expect as cinemas have been portraying him as baddie. Manoj Bajpai takes a huge leap of excellence with his performance. Soori appears rarely in the film, but is good with his witty lines and so is Brahmanandam.
In spite of a lengthy duration of approximately 2hrs.50 minutes, the film doesn’t distract us at any point of time. Thanks to engrossing screenplay of Lingusamy and commendable dialogues by Brinda Sarathy. The film has technical richness with Yuvan Shankar Raja’s background score and songs like ‘Bang Bang Bang’ and ‘Sirippu’. They are very well pictured, but the melodious number ‘Kadhal Aasai’ has a cool scenes as montage and ‘Ek Do Teen Chaar’ will have Suriya fans rippling with huge celebration. Santosh Sivan creates a tremendous magic with his visuals. The Mumbai looks news in spite of us watching it in several movies.
On the whole, Anjaan is a perfect family entertainer that can be watched even more than once. It’s a good time pass commercial movie that comes with the addition of Suriya’s brilliant performance and groovy screenplay.
Verdict: Power-packed commercial entertainer
