Anegan Tamil Movie Review

K.V.Anand has a distinct style of movie making that makes his films something special and successful barring a very few. Same trademark style is there to be seen in his latest film Anegan where Dhanush is playing the lead role. Anegan is a good entertainer with a fully packed Dhanush show with an experimental and highly risky plot being narrated. All credits to the director for pulling up an above average winner making his comeback after a not so impressive Maatran a successful one.

The film tells the love story of three generations that are interconnected starting from the early 1960's in Burma. From there the movie shift to Chennai for the other two stories to unfold and in all three plots there are certain common factors and from here you need to watch the film to know the real side of the storyline. Any further revealing of story would definitely act as a spoiler.

First half has enough entertaining elements with all factors contributing equally in providing wholesome entertainment with the suspense part kept on hold. The second half too goes along well to compliment what was offered in the pre interval portion. The only glitch or negative factor was that unrealistic climax. Not the climax in full but a particular moment in the end could have been presented in a much better way to give the ending a perfect finish.

On the direction side, KVA has enough grip and control over the screenplay that at no point things go out of place. Complimenting his direction was Dhanush right through the entire movie as he portray three different characters all with different shades all with total conviction and once again he is proving to be one of the best when it comes to acting when you compare him with his peers.

Same goes for Amyra Dastur , the female lead who also portray three different characters and all three of them have come out so well. It is also a welcome change to see a heroine making a strong presence unlike the regular Tamil heroines we are seeing these days. Yesteryear actor Karthik was a surprise package. Though he was overacting initially, the portions towards the end was a neatly presented effort from him. Aashish Vidyarthy and Lena are other two actors who were also good in supporting roles.

Cinematography was a bright aspect for Anegan. Music director Harris Jayaraj joining hands with KV Anand for the fourth time has given some fine songs worth hearing few more times from the first hearing.

Overall Anegan doesn't disappoint and is an above average entertainer good for a one time watch. With good making, direction and impressive performances from the lead pair, this movie is a paisa vasool stuff that deserves a rating of three out of five.

Rating - 3 / 5
