Anjaan”, which is jointly produced by Thiruppathi Brothers and UTV Motion Pictures, is dubbed in Telugu as “Sikandar. Starring Suriya, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Manoj Bajpayee, Vidyut Jammwal, Dalip Tahil and Chitrangada Singh. It was directed by N.Lingusamy. Yuvan Shankar raja composed tunes and Background score (BGM) for this film. Anjaan tells the story of two brothers Raju bhai and Krishna. A crutch wielding Krishna searches for his missing gangster brother as the story goes on flashback mode. We get an insight into the life of Raju and his partner in crime aka best friend Chandru, who are climbing the ladder in the crime world.
While commisioners daughter played by Samantha falls for Raju bhai played by Suriya, a tussle with Mumbai’s biggest don Imran played by Manoj Bajpai kills Raju Bhai and Chandru. Will Krishna find out the murders of his brother and avenge his death forms the crux of the story. The film has some amazing performances from Suriya and Samantha, whose romance is the highlight of first half. The camaraderie between Suriya and Vidyut is infectious.
The first half runs away with an interesting intro, the supercute Samantha and some neatly made action sequences. Lingusamy’s trump card is played at the interval scene, which brings out what he is truly capable of. The stage is set for a fast and furious second half. But to everybody’s disappointment, it doesn’t end up being what it intended to and finishes off at the cliff of a pit.Anjaan is not a bad film. Its just sad that hasn’t turned out to be the film it could have been. Suriya carries this on his shoulders just like he always does, but you do need some help from the others if you wish to churn out a stellar product. The don here is dapper, but his story? Good. And that’s about it.
Surya' electrifying performance is the main highlight of the film. Lingusamy's interesting story and punch dialogues, Yuvan Shankar Raja's trendy music, Santosh Sivan's brilliant cinematography, Samantha's glamour, superb action, dance and comedy scenes and beautiful costumes and locales are other attractions of the movie.
The background score from Yuvan Shankar Raja is apt and the cinematography deserves a special mention as colours literally melts in your eyes. N Lingusamy is in the top of his game showcasing his unique vision as a director.
Rating : 2.25/5
