Anjaan - a much awaited Don story of this year with a great crew in it, Surya, Vidyut, Samantha, Yuvan, Santhosh Sivan & Linguswamy. But the movie doesn't go well as expected...Strength :Surya's daring look :Surya looks is daring in this movie. Seems to be the best ever look for Surya. Everyone is waiting to see his stylish look in the movie. The way he took the toothpick from his mouth in most of the scenes was awesome.Yuvan's music: Its bang bang all over the world. Rocking intro song by Yuvan made the movie to rock. Kadhal Aasai with Yuvan style with superb visuals its a treat to audience.Santhosh Sivan:Santhosh Sivan cinematography was the great plus point in this movie. His visuals of Mumbai was awesome.Weakness:Story and Screenplay:As a much awaited Don story it doesn't have any daring scenes. Billa 2 was not a huge hit, but its having many mass scenes which is missing in this movie. Movie goes very slow and its too boring in some scenes.Length of the movie:Length of the movie is almost 2 hrs 50 min which is another minus point. There are many unnecessary scenes such as Surya, Vidyut and Samantha dances for Hindi songs and Ek Tho Theen song (which cant be removed as it is sung by Surya).Twists and turns:There are too many twists and turns in the movie which are easily predictable by audience. Whatever Lingu thought its gonna be a great twist was guessed by most of the audience easily.Vidyut Role:After Billa2 and Thuppaki Vidyut is doing his 3rd film in Tamil. In 1st two movies Vidyut role was awe somatic, there were many fan followers even though he was a villain. But in Anjaan he doesn't have a good role. Only one fight with Main villain was good. There is not much expected chemistry for Surya and Vidyut.Facebook comments :There are some Facebook comments to be noted"Viswa Bhai is better than Raju Bhai""Both Vishwa and Raju Bhai failed to impress the audience""Before release Anjaan will be like Baatcha for Rajini, Billa for Ajith, Thuppaaki for Vijay. After release Anjaan is like Baaba for Rajini, Alwar for Ajith, Sura for Vijay.

Surya done amazing double roles in previous movies and played different character in most movies, yet fail to deliver that kind performance in this movie. Vidyut should have been given more time and role on the screenplay, as we know he is a great martial artist capable of sophisticated fight scenes. Samantha unnecessary for this movie, why need a love story in a Don revenge movie? Lingusamy STOP DIRECTING MOVIES. As a producer great, but fails as a director. Lots of mixed up from other Don movies. there were several 'twist' which only serve as boring predictable plots. Climax fail miserably to be even call a climax.Camera-10/10 Audio-7/10 Plot-1/10 Editing-3/10Overall fail to meet the expectation, Surya can do much better than this.

Anjaan best to be a mass masala entertainer.The large extent the film is salvaged by Suriya's charisma and star power.The film stands on a thin storyline.Krishna (Suriya) comes from a city (Kanyakumari) to Mumbai in search of his brother. He finds out that his brother Raju Bhai (Suriya) was a dreaded don of Mumbai underworld, and he trusted only one man Chandru (Vidyut Jamwal) his mentor and best friend.Raju Bhai was fighting a legion of enemies (all Bollywood baddies- Manoj Bajpai, Dilip Tahil etc) and one day gets knocked off. The film is about love, friendship and cold blooded revenge.The interval block is the best part of the film with a riveting fight sequence choreographed by action director Silva.The scene has been done in a striking manner which leaves the audience surprised, thanks to Suriya terrific performance.In the first half, the romance between Suriya and Samantha lightens up the mood and the song 'Ek Do Theen' is shot in a very glamorous manner by cinematographer Santosh Sivan.Lingusamy has made it like a formula movie. A super hero, who loses and remain,speaks punch lines, romances and in a cunning twist annihilates the main villain.The friendship angle between Suriya and Vidyut has been handled in a light hearted manner.Samantha in itsy-bitsy clothes including a two-piece adds glamour,while there is Chitrangada Singh's item number provides the oomph.The BGM of Yuvan Shankar Raja is one of the highlights of the film and Suriya's introduction song 'Bang Bang Bang
' is well picturised. Santosh Sivan's camera gives it the rich look and stunt shivas powerful action treat for surya fans . Suriya is the saving grace in otherwise a slow moving film.Vidyut has a mass role in half of the film. Anjaan is for those who seek unabashed entertainment and relish masala films.Verdict:Feel the fearless

Anjaan - Tagline "A film without a story" After hearing the Main Twist about the Surya's character! Before watching the movie. that was like a Biggest Spoiler! I was in Nightmare. But after went to the Theatre. Whole movie is Spoiler(ed)First let me confess my Doubts! -They called Surya and Vidyut were Gangsters.. But i didn't see any Proof for that. They just showed People just getting panic after hearing the "RAJU BHAI" -And Why so much Strange North Indian Actors(Aliens)! A no. of characters in the movie are hardly recognizable.-It will take 2-4 time watch, just to remember their names! after all I could remember only 4 of them. "Raju Bhai" "Chandru Bhai" "Karim Bhai" and Samantha's "Jeeva" (that too i noticed her name in the very end of the movie)-Hardly Three dialogues in the movie(in repeat mode)-There were Half-a-Dozens Villains with 293 Fighters.. Surya bashing all of them without a sense of motive nor purpose.(BLANKS BELOW ARE LEAVED IN PURPOSE) Story - Screenplay - Script-ACTING - Surya, A Great-Physique. shown difference between Two Suryas! *wastedVidyut, What a Lip syn ch that was! there were no importance has given to his character.Samantha, "LOST FAITH IN YOU" How many Cleavages? Wonder how they given 'U'!! GTFO! But enjoyed that 2 second with swimsuit.Suri, Great Guest Role!Everyone is praising Cinematography, yes it was Very colorful that might be because of the Red Dragon 6k. which they brought from MARS! In the name of Trying different angles, They've brought some amateur like sequence. But a Lifesaver! But a Average at the best for SS sir!Yuvan, Standard template BGM as usual.VERDICT: FOR ME if not "Could have been better movie" at least it would have been "Could have been a Movie"..Audience has became more Honest. So Grow up star directors! and Dear Director sir I can hardly remember your last gangster movie "BHEEMA"! at least it's in my memory! but ANJAAN!And I want to hear those 3 scripts you'd made before!Please stop with just producing good movies!For those who going to watch: "ENTER IN YOUR OWN RISK"
