CBFC : U
GENRE : Action-Masala
PLOT :-
The film starts with Krishna (Suriya) arriving to mumbai carrying a handicapped walking stick along with him in search for his brother raju. Taxi driver (Soori) accompanies him and soon, from a gangster he comes to know about the real life of his brother Raju bhai (Suriya), a don in andheri. Furtherly, krishna introduces himself to a bhai, who narrates the entire happenings in raju's life. Raju bhai lived and carried the mafia business with his close friend & partner named Chandru (Vidyut). Police commissioner's daughter Jeeva (Samantha) and raju will be in love with each other. Imran bhai (Manoj bajpai), another don threatens both raju & chandru not to come inside his business. Suddenly, chandru dies in a shootout. Raju suspects imran is the man behind chandru's death. From there, the story travels with further more flashbacks and turns revolving around the central character of raju bhai.
PERFORMANCES(ON-SCREEN):-
Suriya ( Raju bhai/Krishna ) brings himself into the arena of a fearless don with a makeover which brighted the character to look damn stylish and his performance gets a wider mass appeal among the fans. Samantha ( Jeeva ) appeared with some skinny outfits this time but her character's name was not clearly established in the first half. Vidyut jamwal's ( Chandru ) way of acting pushed his entire role itself into the level of a multi-starrer movie. Imran bhai ( Manoj bajpai ) did his part very well. Soori and Brahmanandam were used as comedy trespassers inside the action narration. Chitrangada singh looked red-hot in an item song. Other characters such as JK, bhai and many more gave their balanced support.
TECHNICAL :-
Editing by Anthony is decent. Visual effects in the title card gave the film a bright start for itself. Rajeevan's art work and colourful costumes are the additional glitters. Stunts by Silva gained an high voltage attention from the viewers. Cinematography by Santosh sivan presented the film with some striking & classy visuals from the newly introduced red dragon 6k digital camera. Music by Yuvan shankar raja doesn't impress a lot other than the opening track ' Bang bang ' and his background score breaks the silence particularly in the action sequences.
SCRIPT & DIRECTION :-
Story by Lingusamy is a very routine one where this type of plot was seen in several underworld films. Dialogues by Brinda sarathy had a few repetitive punch liners working good among the audience. Screenplay by Lingusamy is brainlessly written with each and every twists are easily guessed by an ordinary movie buff itself and the romance/drama portions are really dull eventhough the pair had a neat chemistry. Lingusamy's direction is only style as it gives justice only to the fanatics of the star but what about others money, it remains unanswered.
VERDICT :-
" Anjaan is a typical mumbai based gangster masala which is low on the script level & high on the technical standards "
RATING :- 3/5
