Mysskin's Anjathey is getting ready to be released on Pongal. Mysskin's previous movie 'Chithiram Pesuthadi' was a good one and hope this one comes out good too.

Naren in ‘Anjathe’.
Director Mishkin of ‘Chithiram Pesuthadi’ fame, and producer V. Ithesh Jabak, who recently produced ‘Nan Avanillai’ have joined hands to produce ‘Anjathe’.
The title of the film was originally ‘Aruvathu Sinam’. Besides Naren, ‘Anjathe’ will also star Prasanna and Ajmal.
Naren plays a police officer. “I spend nearly three hours, jogging barefoot on the sea sands and improving my bike riding and car driving skills for the film,” he said.

Anjathey: A confident show
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, December 20, 2007]
The rainy evening set a right mood to enjoy good music and the song that was screened on the occasion did not disappoint.
It was the function, held at Four Frames Preview Theatre in Chennai, on December 19, to mark the audio launch of 'Anjathey', directed by Mysskin. The highlight of the function was the amazing confidence exuded by the entire team about the outcome of the movie.
The movie introduces Ajmal, a Malayalam actor in a strong role. Ajmal attended the function and delivered a few words recalling his experience with the film.
Mysskin gave a detailed account of how he made the film. He praised the producer Hitesh Jabak for his faith in him and fullest cooperation. He also revealed that Prasanna, who dons a negative role in the movie, has done amazingly well. He went to the extent of saluting the young hero for accepting to do such a bad character at this young age.
The director expressed his gratitude to the media that helped his maiden venture 'Chithiram Pesuthadi' a super hit. He pleaded the media to extend the same support to 'Ajnathey' as well.
Leading artist Trotsky Marudu, a close friend of Mysskin, came to the function as a friendly gesture.
Most of the directors spoke on the occasion – S.A. Chandrasekar, Charan, and Kathi – highlighted the remarkable reading habit of Mysskin.
Vishal gave a hint that he would do a film with Mysskin. Dhanush said he turned down an offer by Mysskin, as he was “afraid of handling the character”.
Narain and Prasanna shared their experiences with the film. They were obviously excited and brimming with confidence. Heroine Vijayalakshmi (Chennai 600028) fame rendered a few words thanking the director.
The audio CD was released by S.A. Chandrasekar and received by Vishal. The cassette was released by Kalaipuli G. Sekaran and received by Vijayalakshmi.

Anjathey censored!
By Moviebuzz
Friday, 08 February , 2008, 08:46
Mysskin�s Anjathey featuring Narain, Prasanna and sensational new boy Ajmal along with Vijayalakshmi has been cleared by the censors with a �U� certificate! In recent times it is the first film that tells the story of gangsters and cops without any blood and gore to get a �U� from the censors.
Anjathey produced by Nemichand Jabak who last made the hit film Naan Avanillai is said to be an edge of the seat action thriller which takes a look at the mean streets of Chennai. It is a cat and mouse game between, an encounter specialist and a cunning gangster told in a racy manner by Mysskin.
There is a good buzz around Anjathey and all areas have been sold out as the film gets ready for release on Valentine day weekend on Feb 14.

Narain's acid test!
By Moviebuzz
Thursday, 14 February , 2008, 15:31
Last Updated: Thursday, 14 February , 2008, 15:44
Anjathey releasing this Friday (Feb 15) is Myyskin- Narain combo's big test at the box-office. A lot of people in Kollywood feel that their Chithiram Pesuthadi worked only because of the Gana Ulganathan song Vazhameenum and the marketing muscle of Oscar Ravichandran.
Myyskin wants to prove that his script and casting was responsible for the success of their last film. So he has avoided Gana Ulganathan this time and sung a song himself, Kannadasan Karaikudi and picturised it on Narain and new boy Ajmal Ameer on a set depicting a Chennai TASMAC bar shop. The director feels the song is one of the best picturised bar songs and is sure to top the charts.
Narain says he spent almost a year with Myyskin doing the script and making the film. Says the actor, who is hoping that the film will change his fortunes in Kollywood- Anjathey is an edge of the seat action thriller set against a backdrop of friendship, deceit, love and emotions. In the film I play a cop an encounter specialist who is on the lookout for a sleazy and cunning extortionist who is playing a cat and mouse game with me.
Prasanna plays a negative character for the first time in his career and is said to be deadly and may turn out to be the surprise packet in the film. A new guy Ajmal Ameer is being introduced by Myyskin, in a pivotal role in the film which has music by Sunder C. Babu. Vijayalakshmi is playing the girl next door and Narain's love interest.
A lot is riding on Anjathey for Myyskin, if the film clicks he will move into the A league of Tamil directors, otherwise he has to start all over again. Nemichand Jabak, the producer of the film who made Naan Avanillai with Jeevan a big hit has spent nearly Rs 4.5 crore on Anjathey for its technical expertise.
Kollywood is eagerly looking forward for the release of Anjathey, which they hope will reverse this years flop trend. Says Myyskin: Let the film release, it will speak for itself, then I will talk!

from sify
Mysskin has delivered another knock-out punch with his Anjathey. The canvass is engaging and thrilling as he is able to bring out the moods, anxieties and sheer dread of the characters due to top of the line performances from his lead actors.
Here is superior quality Tamil cinema as Mysskin's intricately crafted script and the slick execution of every sequences, make the film a treat to watch. The film avoids clichés and smashes stereotypes as it makes its journey from opening credits to the end. But a nail-biting thriller for over three hours… is way too lengthy.
The story opens in a police housing colony where Satyavan (Narain) and Kripa Shankar (Ajmal Ameer) both sons of police head constables (M.S.Bhaskar and Livingston) are childhood friends. They are thick friends but totally different in principles and attitude towards life. Satyavan is a happy-go-lucky irresponsible guy who spends time drinking, loitering with friends and getting into petty fights. Kripa on the other hand is serious, soft-spoken and has a big dream to join the police force through hard work and discipline. He is encouraged by his sister Uttara (Vijayalakshmi), who feels that Satya is the only bad influence in his life, as comparisons are made between the two by the residents of the colony.
One day Satya is badly humiliated by his dad for spoiling a festival day in the colony when he gets into a fight with Daya (Prasanna) a sinister guy who is running a kidnapping racket with a small time mechanic and mobster Logu (Pandirajan). Satya after this ego deflating act from his dad decides to join the force by using the clout of his uncle, a personal assistant of a powerful minister. Both Kripa and Satya appear for the police Sub-Inspectors (SI) examination, and using his clout Satya is selected while Kripa fails. This triggers the motive and twist in the tale as inevitably Kripa drifts away from his best friend and turns out to be his most bitter foe.
Meanwhile after joining the force, there is a gradual transformation in Satya who becomes more human, righteous and duty conscious in his approach to life. He fights the system from within, and soon Uttara secretly starts admiring him as he becomes her role model which irks Kripa. At the same time Daya the cunning psychopath holds the police force to ransom as he kidnaps young girls from rich families for money and also rapes them so that they will remain silent.
The police top brass set up an encounter cell under a cop (Ponvannan) to hunt down the kidnappers, and Satya is also drafted into the team. Daya who is now on the run recruits Kripa knowing that he is on a revenge romp whose only aim is to see the fall of his friend. Now it is a cat-and-mouse game between Satya and Daya who uses Kripa as a pawn, leading to a stunning nail biting climax on the outskirts of the city in a sugar cane field.
The biggest strength of Anjathey is its perfect casting, as every actor is just right for the role and you couldn’t find better actors to fill out these roles. Mysskin introduces new guys like a one- armed guy called Kuruvi (played by a former stuntman Bomb Ramesh, who lost an arm while shooting an explosion scene for a film) a go-between Satya and Kripa, he is terrific. Prasanna is a revelation as the deadly, charismatic but ruthless and terrifying psychopathic rapist Daya (the weird wig is a minus), Pandirajan without his moustache as the humorous accomplice of Daya is a scream and provides some funny moments. And Ajmal makes a promising debut; he’s clearly an actor to look out for.
Vijayalakshmi is here to stay as the sweet and lovable girl next door. Ponvannan, M.S Bhaskar and Livingstone are all aptly cast in supporting roles. Narain is astonishingly agile and lives the role of Satyavan. His drunken act and subtle comedy in the first half, the anguish, frustration and guilt giving way to tears in the second half bring out the actor in him. It is Narain’s show from the first frame to the last, a performance that will remain in your hearts to remember and savor.
Technically, the film is top class and exquisitely photographed by Mahesh Muthusamy, using a lot of top angle crane shots with the climax in the sugar cane field being picture perfect. Sunder.C.Babu’s music is peppy especially the first song in the bar Kannadasan … and the title song. To give credit where it’s due, director Mysskin delivers on both style and content and he has not shown any excessive blood and gore scenes in a story of police encounters, rapes, kidnapping and other nefarious activities.
If there’s one problem with the film is it’s too long, at 3 hours 10 minutes and as a result, at times taxes the viewers patience especially the long drawn out climax, scenes in the first half to establish the hero being reformed and sentiments injected into the plot. This makes even the unpredictability becomes monotonous in a film which has very few commercial elements and is a bit classy.
Despite this minor hiccups Anjathey is unmissable. It is a sparkling, fresh and innovative film from Mysskin, makes for recommended viewing.
Verdict- Good

I saw “Anjadhe” first day first show at Santham. Trust me guys! Very good movie, very impressive. More than I expected. Something very different,very good twist!
Prasanna, Pandiyarajan are villains, Narain and the another guy did well.
Don’t miss this movie, Pattiyal,Pudhupettai type! I knew the taste of some hubbers here, that’s why I recommend this movie as “Must Watch”. Negative, second half is lengthy
Just 2 songs and 1 bit song. Out of which “Kathaazha kannala” is similar to “Vaazha meenukkum” song and the choreography looked so good! The girl who danced for this song looked good than Malavika :P
I saw Vijayalakshmi, Aagathiyan, Prasanna in the theatre. Vijayalakshmiyum Prasanna remba scene-a pottutu irrundhaanga…aana yaarum kandukulla!!

Watched it today, disappointed a little bit, I was expecting much cleaner, sharper and trimmed film. Some scenes are just brilliant and in some places (emotional ones) he has gone overboard. Three songs are there and two songs are not needed at all. Overall a commandable job by Mysskin.

From: MumbaiRamki on 18th February 2008 11:11 AM [Full View]
Mysskin has given an appealing, racy, cop film with emotions. But the problem in this film is three fold..
1. Action scenes are not choreographed nicely, but the camera angles make it up for that.I would give National award for the camera angles.
2. The emotional tones between Dhaya (new guy)and sathya (naren) should have been handled a bit more. Prasanna character should have been fleshed out.
3. length is 3 hrs .It should be 2 hr 45 min .
But then myskkin has really done a great job - I would rate this on par with Pattiyal , or even more than that - just for the subject and his execution . It is easy to point out the flaws ,but as i think balancing the commercial with in-depth filmmaking is a great challenge and i think Mysskin has done a cool job here !
Sundar has done a good job in BGM , although sometimes u feel he has adopted Hollywood's way of doing BGM .

From: MrJudge on 18th February 2008 11:20 AM [Full View]
Exactly. Pattiyal is still the best but we can't give credit for VV since it is lifted from a southeast asian film. Anjathey scores more because of its originality. Originally Posted by MumbaiRamki

Judge,
I felt Anjathey was better - because this movie could be improvised , but not so with Pattiyal.
The emotional tone and the concept of emotional life events unfolding to our discomfort is greatly scripted in Anjathey. Pattiyal is racy, but less emotional .
The camera angles were too innovative in Ajathey while in Pattiyal it is the lightings ( or absence of it ) that scores.

Yes, I agree with you. Anjathey could be improvised. Pattiayal is already an improvised one, haven't seen the original but I guess that is the case with it.

“I want to die while directing”: Mysskin
IndiaGlitz [Monday, February 18, 2008]
“I deeply love cinema, so much so that, I want to die when I am in the sets directing a film”, said director Mysskin to the media persons on the next day of the release of his second film ‘Anjathey’. He was visibly relaxed when he met the media persons in Hotel Chariot, located in T. Nagar, Chennai on February 16. The impact of the overwhelming response to his film was evident in his face and speech.
The director, who has joined the prestigious list of directors who make powerful movies, has promised that he would continue to give many films neater than ‘Anjathey’. All that he wants to achieve is to present his thoughts as beautiful celluloid images without any perversions.
He revealed that the creation of ‘Anjathey’ was almost an accident. He began the film because of his anger of not able to make his dream film ‘Nandalala’. The producer withdrew in the last minute when everything was ready and that made Mysskin feel upset and anger. The anger would have put off any other person, who had just finished a single project. But Mysskin was different. He converted the anger into a creative process and started a new project, which has resulted in ‘Anjathey’
The director showered praise on the star cast for their immense cooperation and excellent performances.
Narain, Prasanna and VIjayalakshmi too attended the press meet and delivered brief speeches. Narain said that the role of Sathyavan in ‘Anjathey’ was one of the rare roles he could get to portray in his career.
Mysskin assured the media persons that he would definitely make his dream project ‘Nandalala’ one day or the other. He also confirmed that he is planning to direct a film featuring Vishal in the lead.

Creativity v/s Commerce
By Moviebuzz
Tuesday, 19 February , 2008, 17:44
Last Updated: Tuesday, 19 February , 2008, 18:41
Mysskin�s Anjathey has been critically the most acclaimed movie released so far in 2008, but for producer Nemichand Jabak it is going to leave a big hole in his pocket!
Everybody who has seen the film likes it; their only complaint is that the film is too long at 3 hours 10 minutes, just 10 minutes short of the historical Jodhaa Akbar!
After the first show itself theatres in Tamilnadu has been putting pressure on the producer to trim it. They should have edited it immediately, to make it more attractive to the viewers.
Jabak is willing to edit it, but Mysskin says it is �infringing on my creative freedom� and will not allow anybody to remove even a frame from what he perceives to be a �classic�.
Asks Mysskin: �Tell me one scene that I can edit? The film can be enjoyed only in its full length.� A worried and harassed Jabak knows the collections have started dropping from Monday in NSC area, where he is distributing the film; the theatres want to edit a minimum of 20 minutes to make it crisper.
A manager of a prominent theatre in NSC area said: �Today�s audiences will not sit through anything more than 2 hours 30 minutes, especially a heavy film with hardly any mass elements like Anjathey. If Mysskin and Jabak had listened to us, the film would have been safe, but now the word of mouth of its length will go against it.�
The manager also let out a trade secret that Mysskin�s earlier film Chitiram Pesuthadi was re-edited and 20 minutes was cut from the original when �Oscar� Ravichandran purchased the film a few days after its release and it went on to become a hit!

neenga mysskin fann aagitinga pola??nyways he is turning out to be among the top directors of tamil cinema...in anjadhey he has shown a different angle of portraying cops...he probably wants to press that police should have heart and be more compassionate..i could relate many scenes to that throughout the movie...prasanna acting could have been better and his hair style made me laugh most of the times...wig'a ivalo prominent' a va vaipanaga...and as aomeone said the second half esp towards the end a bit dragging...otherwise the film is a very different entertainer with all fresh aspects embeded like the music...the bgm was just awesome and the camera work esp the night shots added more thrill...overall great work from mysskin...

Yes, Karthik. There are some scenes they are just excellent, no words to describe them. They are on par with Danush's first trial of taking a guy's hand off in Puthupettai. It is a new experience watching them in a tamil movie. But here length plays the spoilsport. Mahesh Muthusamy has done excellent job and BGM by Sundar Babu is also good. But somehow I feel that I heard those BGMs in CP also. Originally Posted by karthik_sa2

Saw Anjaathey.. Quite good movie. I am planning to see it one more time. It has few EKSI scenes as well. It was a mix of kireedom theme and VV. Lot of sequences have been ripped from Vettaiyaadu Vilayaadu including the villan hair style and reaction. BUt he had underplayed.
There are many scenes that makes u sit at the edge of the seat. The first 10 mins were good comedy. Narain has done a very good job and reminds mamooty at times.. his acting was bad in couple of scenes.
Myskin seriously has to cut few EKSI scenes to make it a perfect movie.. after a great scene, we have hero singing a duet with the heroine

Mysskin came to the live show in Isaiaruvi today. He said he narrated the Anjathey story to lot of heroes but they hesitated to do it. Naren was willing to do it and in a way he helped him out. He said he is happy that the movie is doing well at BO. Now he has two scripts ready and he is discussing one with Vishal. The girl coming in the kaththaazha kannaala is the heroine of his Nandalala.

Anjathey-Good in Multiplexes!
By Moviebuzz
Monday, 25 February , 2008, 11:20
Mysskin's Anjathey, is doing brisk business in Chennai city multiplexes and Mayajaal in Chengalpet area. In its second weekend, collections in multiplexes have averaged to 96 percent, better than the 82 percent in the first weekend!
But outside Chennai, in North Arcot, South Arcot, Salem, Madurai, TT, TK area it is below average while in Coimbatore it is average. In these areas family audiences are not coming for the film as theatre people says there is too much drinking scenes and the theme is adult. All the theatres in this area have butchered the film by chopping nearly 35 minutes, creating continuity problems.
Mysskin can be happy that his film is running with its 3 hours 10 minutes running time intact only in Chennai city where the film is doing the best.

Got a chance to watch Anjaathey last week. Came out speechless after watching this stunning movie. Kudos to Mysskin for trying out a different recipe in the world of masalas. Lot of things in the movie caught my attention. Every character in the movie had a story behind it. Though the film is a bit long, the narration keeps u engrossed with the movie.
Anjaathey is the best movie of 2008, atleast till date.

Excellent movie .....Some of the scenes show cases the intelligence of the director. For instance, during the SI interview, when Kriba is being interviewed, all the 3 interviewers will be sipping Tea and Kriba will be sincerely answering. On the other hand Satya will be sipping Tea during his interview session and the interviewers will be listening to him. Just to show that Satya has come with strong recommendation
During the climax when Prassana is shot dead and falls on to the floor, they show dead Prassana and a currency lying on floor. Gripping screenplay & direction, terrific cinematography and smart acting by lead actors (including MS Baskar, Livingston) are the plus. Lengthy, more emotional and sentimental scenes are the negatives.

I felt that the biggest negative was vijaylakshmi saying that she loves sathyavaan in the climax......and the usual what happened next after the climax could have been avoided.
Thanks to the director for not hnaving a action sequence between sathyavaan and kripa/thaya!

Review - Anjathey
Review - Anjathey
February 17th, 2008
Review - Anjathey
Production: V. Hitesh Jhabak
Director: Mysskin
Star-casts: Narain, Prasanna, Vijayalakshmi, Ajmal, Ponvannan, Pandia Rajan, Ponvannan, Livingston, M.S. Bhaskar and others.
Music: Sundar C Babu
Cinematography: Mahesh Muthusamy
Stunts: Action Prakash
Commencing has a stupendous directorial with Chittiram Pesudhadi, Mysskin makes it up for our expectations delivering a good flick. The most absolute thing I could sense while watching Anjathey was the tremendous rapport shared by the duo Director Mysskin- Actor Narain.
Narain has it all proving himself with his emote at different situations and he has to be apprized for it. If you enter theatres hoping that Vijayalakshmi as in her previous film Chennai 600028 has nothing to do, please don’t ever say that, for she coiffures an extraordinary performance… Hats off to Prasanna, for presenting himself with a vulnerable character and he’s on some plans to grab the best in film industry. With many actors of his age group trying to reach out for the image of mass heroes, this chap has ideas of different dimension. Might be is the fact that is he trying to take up the pathway of his mentor Prakash Raj? Well, that’s not what we have to discuss here.
Now let me take you for a quick drive on the synopsis and then take on with plus and minuses of it..
“How do you feel when you meet your friend after a longtime at a gun point situation?” And if you can imagine this situation, we are sure you are the first to like this movie. Anjathey is a defying flick that centers on two youngsters Sathya (Narain) and Kiruba (debutant Ajmal), close friends over for a long time. Being the sons of police constables and residing in the same colony is the only similarities they for their attitudes and aims in life differ a lot. Sathya has nothing great to dream about his future, but has a concern to lead a happy life every day. While in contrast is his friend Kiruba aiming with all his might for the position of Sub- Inspector. But its fate that changes their course of life. Sathya though not much interested, turns into a SI by short-cut methods while Kiruba is a great loser.
Now this exposes Kiruba to darker side of his life for his family members have a different attitudes towards him and he feels he has lost everything. Sathya now has to handle the unmanageable task of trapping a group of kidnappers who abduct young girls and kill them for money. And for the most surprising part, Mysskin instead going for actors who play this role has opted good looking chap Prasanna to play lead baddie in the film. Also its more interesting to see Pandiarajan taking on with a different role of a team member with Prasanna.
While Naren working earnestly to take hold of these baddies, Ajmal gets greatly influenced by Prasanna who throws bundles of money on him for an easy work he does. They together kidnap the young girls out of which ladylove of Sathya, Vijayalakshmi too is Prasanna’s victim…
Now would it look when your close friend stands straight opposite on, with different plans for you and Sathya has to face Ajmal in the same situations…
This interesting storyline has been narrated with a powerfully crafted screenplay by Mysskin…
As mentioned earlier, getting on with characters everyone does justice to their roles including Ponvannan who plays the role of an investigative officer, Livingston, M.S. Bhaskar and many others…
But if you ask me to point out negative traits of this flick, though not much, there are few things that makes dripped with your interest. Pandiarajan does a good job what again trying to make some comedy lines doesn’t look sensible…
Cinematography by Mahesh Muthusamy makes your eyes brimmed with likeliness towards the film and it feels like his working style has an inspiration from veteran ace cinematographer P.C. Sriram. Sundar C Babu has different genres of musical scores, among which couple of songs is a sure hit. Getting you more involved to the film would be Sundar’s enchanting background musical score…
As a whole, Anjathey is a great virtuous movie that has a brilliant work by the auteur and mind-blowing performance by all.
Bottom-line : Auteur proves it again
Verdict: Please don’t miss it…

came back from anjaathey - touch disappointed.......though some scenes deserved standing ovation, there were far too many cinematic twists and a bad climax..............
naren's "start-action" sort of acting is irritating................prasanna was awesome.......better than daniel in VV .....pandiarajan - wat a utility guy he is.............tighter screenplay (given movie is cinematic) would have done wonders /........got to appreciate such efforts in tamil
must watch for all good tamil movie viewers

I saw anjathey on saturday.... I liked the movie very much, indeed added this movie to my list of favs, the last to be added in the list was Katrathu thamizh....
With just 2 songs(third song was cut), the movie didnt have that many speed breakers....
Narain's acting was good, especially in scenes where he beats 5 baddies in the hospital, and narain speaking to the police commissioner who tells he will be suspended for interrupting!
one scene that made me terribly laugh was when narain calls the old man and asks him to sit in a bike, later they both go on to booze at the road side. that was a good comedy....
the director has lived throughout the movie....
yet another scene i was impressed was towards the climax, when the two girls escape.... that was really unexpected.
That mottai guy ethuku vanthaan ne therila, they didnt show his face at all. at the end when they show his face, he is hit by a van....
After the film ends, they show slides of Narain, vijayalakshmi and their kid and telling what they are doing.... this was the only negative point for me.... it made the film look like a normal movie.... that could have been avoided....
Overall a very good movie.......

saw the movie yesterday - liked it a lot though some scenes trimmed would have done wonders to the movie. that duet was absolutely unnecessary - all the actors were apt for the character. the girls escaping in the climax from the mottai was good. Dialogues were crisp and very natural. naren was a bit loud at times perhaps to not show his malayalam accent :P
Camera angles were very impressive and kudos to the director for coming out with a different story line the second kidnap attempt was startling to see

***DISCLAIMER: As Mr. Judge pointed out, i'm very sorry for unthinkingly posting many of the twists in this twistfully twisted movie...if you have watched the movie and would like to read my thoughts i will leave the words in white, and you can highlight to read, thank you.
saw this movie on monday...watched quite late...and couldn't help but feel creeped out...i like how generally the action and suspense was kept flowing...2nd song was waste...damn that "Kripa" never finds out the truth...good decision though....Prasanna was maybe not as crude as Dan was...but still sent those pervert vibes afloat..liked unexpectedness in how Kripa turned out...and some key scenes found surprising:
1)when guy goes into police station carrying bag...and officers are like yeah yeah whatever just go into the station...and then whoa when he pulls the head out of the bag!
2)Kripa's reaction when he sees the kidnapped girl wearing his lungi..
3)the twin girls actions as they trick bald guy
4) when Kripa hits one of the twin girls running towards him
5) skin crawling was when Prasanna spies on Kripa's sister...ugh so nasty! Prasanna's explanation about the whole "oh they just wanted it" so that's why a) i got beaten up by Satya b) was kicked out of the military and c) the real kicker "I have to rape them or else they'll go to the police"....now that's perverted villany enough for me!
6) the whole running through the sugar cane scene...but why kuruvi was even following at top speed was beyond me...
the whole let's have a throwdown fight at the end with Satya and Prasanna was kind of "...oh yeah hmmm just throw your gun down and show off you fighting skills now"...real smart...(hope the sarcasm reads thru!!!) I guess they liked the whole "cracking the arm thrice" action...was used enough! And love confession towards the end was kinda weak too...but handcuffing was a smart reoccurence...
but the make it seem like there was an "official legal" reason to shoot and kill Prasanna in ending was a good cathartic point...(well in my opinion anyways i rather have him dead then grinning through the jail bars)
All in all...maybe i'm less jaded or not majorly desensitized...so was shocked and creeped out as well as enthralled...in the end...i liked it for the effect it was able to have on me.

Barring a few intelligent scenes, Anjaadhey largely falls flat. Considering the glowing reviews its been getting, I'm sure my opinion will be dissected and ridiculed, but I'd like to read constructive arguments to see if I've missed what so many people have got it the first time.

In the scene where they kidnap IG's daughters, Mottai guy will keep his 2-whlr in middle of the road. Car driver will get down to remove the bike - now, Mottai will come and hit the driver down. All this time the 2 girls will sit inside the car and keep watching evrything. Why didnt they try to get out of the car and run away??

Watched the movie recently...The movie's good in parts though some sequences are kinda too cinematic...I feel the movie has one seemingly big flaw...and surprisingly NOBODY seems to talk abt it...mebbe i got it wrong...
Anyways...here goes...there is this scene after Logu is killed...Daya talks abt planning an escape...and the next scene is the kidnap of IG's daughters...its quite apparent that it was a last minute plan to make an escape...night yosichu morning(noon?) kidnap panraanga....appo how were so sure of the route the driver takes, the isolated area were they can easily assault the driver and kidnap the kids without raising alarm???

If i am not wrong they were just trying to take any car by that road...it just happened coincidentally that the IG daughters were inside..as far as i have seen there were no dialogues about kidnapping the daughters..only planning an escape. The whole film is actually woven scene by scene...theres no explanatory guideline to follow..if you were to follow from a guideline then you will horribly get the whole movie wrong.

I dont actually think it was actually coincidental....the place where Keerthivasan(Ponvannan) says they had kept the mobile phone switched on suggests they clearly intend to mislead...and the very fact they fact they have kidnapped the I.G.'s daughters would keep the entire police force distracted!! This proves enuff to say they very well intended to kidnap the IG's daughters. They are worried about police on trail so the kidnap was clearly intended to mislead the police.

Thanks to hubber Sridhar's rather strong recommendation, i watched it.
After like ages, we get to see a director's movie in tamil 
Each and every scene has been carefully etched and shot! But Myskkin must improve his writing skills.. His characterizations were very poor, especially one of the pivotal characters Kiruba. Contrary to the popular opinion here, the no-nonsense 2nd half was my favorite.
Let me quote a couple of EKSI scenes here.
1. I thought naren was shown as a thug and he sees blood every other day being that. Then how come he reacts like an alien to blood as soon as he becomes a cop??
2. Biggest EKSI scene: kiruba accusing Naren after the police station scene.. (in which he was stripped to his innerwear and beaten) There was not even a remote chance of Naren being responsible for his plight.. and the punch naan exam-la dhaandaa thOthEn.. naan unna life-la thOkkadippENdA
Its a very decent watch, perhaps one of the top 3 movies this year :P

That scene was SO realistic. In reality you would not know (even a 20+year old) what to do in that situation. <<dig>> Could only think of that famous 7 minute long scene in the movie funny games where the camera just focuses at one place, nobody moving, after a terrible thing just happened <<ends>>

When the girls were so smart enough to find a method to escape from Mottai in the climax, they could have raised an alarm or try to jump out of the car when their driver is being assaulted by a stranger. Ofcourse, initial shock will be there, but that incident takes place for quiet a long time which is more than enough for the girls, who were supposed to be the daughters of a Police Officer, to come out of the shock and raise an alarm. Dont u see logic is missing here

1. Naren character was just a porukki [Theruvukku theru namma oorula ippadi irrukiraanga, chumma sound viduradhu! :P ] before he become a cop. When he faces the reality it is more than what he expected. Logic is ok for me!
2. Inspector says " Nee enna Sathya friend-a? Unnaya special-la gavanikka solraan?" and then he beats Kirupa. Yerkanave Sathya mela 'gaand'-a irrukira Kirupa gets even more irritated and thinks that he is the reason for what happened at Police station.

One thing is to be noted.Not just in the story and screenplay,The making of the movie:the camera angles,BGM,central plot,narration(sans comedy,the 5 fight 5 song structure;forgive the climax fight)was brilliant.Its a clear sign of the imrovement of film-making in tamil.The standards are quite better when compared to crappy movies in the 90s(except MR and a very very few).I see a drastic change in the technical crew.....especially the camera and BGM:top class.These guys definitely deserve a pat in their shoulders.Forget those errors.They happen in every movie,importantly they are inorable only unlike blunders.Encourage them with awards....Please nominate them to film festivals in and around India,or else we can't find a way outta our mass bullcrap heroes and all-in-all directors.

OTOH, during the climax, the girls already had spent some hours with those guys and would have had enough time to figure out something (after coming out of the initial shock that is). There is a striking difference between both the scenes, IMHO

perhaps that was one more of his grudges too - during that song 'kannadhasan' he gifts the ring and naren acts as though he throws it away, but he instead puts it into his pocket. perhaps this guy is/was under the impression that he doesnt give a damn to their friendship. Originally Posted by Sanguine Sridhar

i guess this guy's was something along that lines - that is he doesnt accept his mistakes or doesnt take it properly when things go wrong - in one of the initial scenes itself when his sis says that he got an answer wrong, he tears away the book stating that its a printing mistake. so he is not able to accept his effort ending up in failure and turns jealous of naren Originally Posted by Nerd

IMO the movie had some unnecessary scenes like
1. the climax fight b/w prasanna/naren
2. the dream song sequence plus the kathaazha song (though the female dancing was)
3. the guys at the hospital coming one by one to be hit by naren - wth cant they all come together
but very good effort and wanna watch it again

I also noted that scene. But the connection is not very *smooth*. Could have placed some other scene, which would have shown why exactly is kiruba like that..

That is correct! But his character was portrayed like one who was eager to become a cop in a straightforward way. He did lot of hardwork [as Naren says in a scene "kaalailayum oduraan evening-layum oduraan"] . When he failed in the examination he says "Unnaya maadhriyana aalunga ellam pass aana, ennaya maadhriyaana aalunga eppadi da pass panna mudiyum" . Originally Posted by Nerd

This anger grew up as his other friends like Kuruvi & co admires about Naren's heroism at the hospital,police station incident, his father's heart attack and everything turned Naren to be his foe.
His character was also shown as a haughty fellow.Remember he removes a page from the book when he gave a wrong answer for the question which was asked by his sister.

To answer this, it could be that they followed the car from the IG's house to the school. So they know which is the right spot to kidnap. So on their return back home from School, they intercepted the car. So nothing illogical in that.

like sridhar pointed out, Sathya feels very uncomfortable to use his gun, thats why he fights with prasanna in the end..
the best scene is that paatti scene..

One scene is enough to rate this approach miles ahead of the 'sensational films'
- The girl falls from the cab. She just stands. She tries to walk and a single frame that shows how she walks is a perfect example for creating an impact without any contrived scenes

Yes. Another classic eg.is, Kriba brings Prasanna & PR to his house as they want to hide there. Unexpectedly, Kriba's sister knocks the door. Quicly, Kriba pushes both of them into a room & locks it. Enter his sis. and she wants to change her clothes. Originally Posted by selvakumar

The foll. scenes where brilliantly taken by showing only the legs of the characters & at the same time audience where able to feel the emotions the characters undergo.
Kriba - worried abt his sis
Prasanna - unable to control his sexual urge (look at the way he crawls near the door !!)
PR & Sappai - afraid of getting caught.
Mysskin has deliberately avoided showing the girl undressing. Terrific scene.
Cinematographer, Music director & Editor has done a great job in this scene. It's one of my fav. scene in the film.

I think karthi wants a movie to reach out to all the audience. People may or may not be able to differentiate between the two. But at times, they reject both. Most of the times, the later happens.

***DISCLAIMER: This was earlier posted and at that time alot of people had not seen the movie i guess, it was modified but now i see alot of hubbers commenting anyways about the points that I have too so reposting it, would like to know your views!
saw this movie on monday...watched quite late...and couldn't help but feel creeped out...i like how generally the action and suspense was kept flowing...2nd song was waste...damn that "Kripa" never finds out the truth...good decision though....Prasanna was maybe not as crude as Dan was...but still sent those pervert vibes afloat..liked unexpectedness in how Kripa turned out...and some key scenes found surprising:
1)when guy goes into police station carrying bag...and officers are like yeah yeah whatever just go into the station...and then whoa when he pulls the head out of the bag!
2)Kripa's reaction when he sees the kidnapped girl wearing his lungi..
3)the twin girls actions as they trick bald guy
4) when Kripa hits one of the twin girls running towards him
5) skin crawling was when Prasanna spies on Kripa's sister...ugh so nasty! Prasanna's explanation about the whole "oh they just wanted it" so that's why a) i got beaten up by Satya b) was kicked out of the military and c) the real kicker "I have to rape them or else they'll go to the police"....now that's perverted villany enough for me!
6) the whole running through the sugar cane scene...but why kuruvi was even following at top speed was beyond me...
the whole let's have a throwdown fight at the end with Satya and Prasanna was kind of "...oh yeah hmmm just throw your gun down and show off you fighting skills now"...real smart...(hope the sarcasm reads thru!!!) I guess they liked the whole "cracking the arm thrice" action...was used enough! And love confession towards the end was kinda weak too...but handcuffing was a smart reoccurence...
but the make it seem like there was an "official legal" reason to shoot and kill Prasanna in ending was a good cathartic point...(well in my opinion anyways i rather have him dead then grinning through the jail bars)
All in all...maybe i'm less jaded or not majorly desensitized...so was shocked and creeped out as well as enthralled...in the end...i liked it for the effect it was able to have on me.

Absolutely agree about PV climax. Irreversible had a similar scene with the camera static at the head of Belucci for about 10 mins, as she is raped. Both movies emphasize the same: There is a line, which if crossed can turn the viewers into voyeurs, with the brutality of the crime lost on them. That said, sex itself, if integral to the movie, should be allowed to stay. Don't blame the movie makers, blame the certification enforcers!! Originally Posted by Nerd

Not to take anything away from the movie or Mysskin, one reason why he did not show the rapes was, the girls involved were under 18. (14-15 and do you expect him to show acts of Pedophilia on screen )

Wow! Terrific film
Ivara Sithiram Pesuthadi eduthaaru?
The first few minutes were very much underwhelming. Aana padam soodu pidikka arambicha odane pattaya kelappichu!
Ayya Gautham Manoru, indha padatha paathu.. err.. thelinjikkunga. I don't think he would have made VV had this come earlier
Just reading the posts on this (i don't read reviews of 'promising' movies before watching). I also had this doubt - Why does Kiruba start to blame Sathya for every damn thing. S_S kind of brought my attention to the Inspector's words "unnaya special-a gavanikka solraan".
On the whole, a very well executed film. However, (this seems to be his malaise) - the acting in his films leaves quite a bit to be desired. Adhuvum Kiruba character, sutham!
Cinema thanam sila pala irukku, avoid pannirukkalaam. Extreme cliches, especially when the characters are dying. And what's with Prasanna's mannerisms? Climax fight pathi sollave vendaam, and wtf was that hospital scene all about?
Originally Posted by inetk

I thought that shot was to show Prasanna's lifeless body and the currency note lying on the ground, side by side. Call it a corny attempt at symbolism or a good effective one or whatever (it worked for me actually).Prasanna’s menacing turn is commendable for the actor but he comes across merely as a caricature - that extra shot glorifying him when he’s finally dead perhaps panders to his hero-image!
What????While I did enjoy Mysskin’s film making style – an impoverished version of Gautam Menon
I have a long standing general question, not addressed just to Inet Karthik. Can someone tell me when does a film become self-indulgent? If the film doesn't indulge itself, what should it iindulge? OK, the director is self-indulgent? Well, its *his/her* film after all and what's wrong if he/she is indulgent?‘cos instead of getting a better film, we have a self-indulgent film
I mean this question not in a confrontational or defensive tone but i really do have this doubt... ayyappaattai theerthu vaippavarukku ayiram porkaasugal

One scene is enough to rate this approach miles ahead of the 'sensational films'
- The girl falls from the cab. She just stands. She tries to walk and a single frame that shows how she walks is a perfect example for creating an impact without any contrived scenes

a) Altaf, the tailor advancing menacingly towards Rani's *face*, with his mouth wide open and sporting a devilish grin. Thuni fan la maattikkum, Rani screams and the next thing we know, kungumam kalanjirukku, Rani sits hunched on her knees crying. This is the prototype for rape in Indian cinema. sirippu dhaan varum
b) neenga mela sonna madhiri kaattaama cut pannittu hint kudukkalaam. Rape dhaan pannaanga. Pannittu kola pannittaanga nu purinjirukkum. Aana, would it have worked for Hey Ram? NO!
The same holds good for the riot killings. yen oru chinna payyan oru elderly Bhai-a sadhak sadhak nu nalla sound effects-oda (the sound of knife piercing flesh) kutharadha kaamikkanum? neenga sonna madhiri next day street la full-a seruppu, ratha kalari, sadalangal-nu kaatittu "idhu dhaan nethu nadandhadhu" nu gentle-a sollirukkalaam. Would it have worked? NO!
There is no single right way, as i see it. In anjadhey, this approach worked well. This is a different film.
In short, we can take the same "pushpam/puippam" analogy
P.S: Aana, sensationalize panrathukkaga thinippadhu jarring-a thaan irukkum othukkaren. Aana PV climax worked for me.

Awesome performances from everyone. Narain show the various shades of his character effectively and Prasanna is downright evil. The new guy was great and Karthika was very cute and had some good scenes, despite only having a miniscule role.

I think the way the HINT is given differs. HeyRam la kooda HINT thaanae koduthaanga. Illayab) neenga mela sonna madhiri kaattaama cut pannittu hint kudukkalaam. Rape dhaan pannaanga. Pannittu kola pannittaanga nu purinjirukkum. Ofcourse, what was shown after the 'rape' is not a HINT. I have problem with the way the HINTS are presented. At times, it works for me. Most of the times, it just falls flat and leaves me lot more irritated. Most of them leave a repugnant effect on me.
Let us take the Gujarat killings and let us assume that we are making a film on that. A pregnant woman was killed (not sure whether she was gang raped or not). After that, the baby was taken out and the baby was also killed. I just want to know how this has to be shown on screen.
scene 1: The gang rapes the woman. With lot of swords, they kill her. We show a lot of blood oozing out of her. Then we show the gang cutting her stomach and taking the baby out. The gang cuts the baby into as many pieces as they wish.
Scene 2: The bakery is also getting burnt and we show that 'AS IT IS'.
Through out the film we narrate the entire sequence in this way.
Intha approach thaan best nnu, I am not sure the IMPACT with be there with me throughout my life. At one point, if the same RIOT repeats, I would have seen that already and would have very well got adjusted to it. So, it won't leave that IMPACT anymore. ! Kitta thatta, how we adjusted to the old narration of RAPE.
Oru leveluku mela, ethvumae perusa theriyaathu. Or unarchiyae illamaa poyidum. When that line is crossed, any narration won't appeal to me. Athu thaan ennoda prachanai
And if we are taking a film that revolves around an I N C E S T relationship, how a director should show the RAPE b/w relatives.? I want to know ! ?
Bala,P.S: Aana, sensationalize panrathukkaga thinippadhu jarring-a thaan irukkum othukkaren. Aana PV climax worked for me.
Ungalukku JARRING ah illathathu, enakku irukku. Avvalavuthaan. May be that is why I never rate PV at all !

Well, you just didn't stop with saying that approach didn't work for you. You said not showing it is the only right way. Karthi said the same too. adhavadhu sex and violence e kaatta koodadhu nu oru denial stand (im not classifying 'rape' under either category for a minute, mind you ). adhunala dhaan andha example a sonnen. Yes, what has worked for me need not work for you and vice versa. kaala kaalama "rape"a present panna abathatha odacha padangalil onnu PV . Thats the context in which i was talking.
Repugnance varadhu dhaan point-e. adhu varama comedy-a marradhu dhaan director-udaya tholvi/kutram (again which depends on the film), IMO...
P.S: Appadi kettukutte polaam. indha padathulaye edhukku Uthara kulikka poradhukku "ethanavadhu naal"-ndra concept kondu varanum? adha kooda avoid pannirukkalaame nu kettukutte pogalaam...

i am not telling that showing rape/violence is wrong.. if it creates a great impact as in virumandi/PV.. there is nothing offensive at all..
but, creating that impact by without showing it, is great..
PS: if mysskin follows the same style of showing sex in his future movies, then there wud be no impact..

FILM A budding writer offers Tamil films a fresh, unschooled perspective in his languid yet riveting film, Anjaathe S. SHIVA KUMAR
MAKING THE MARK Myyskin: ‘The day I make a movie without songs, I’ll accept myself as a successful director’
The greatest triumph for a filmmaker who has to cater to all kinds of palates, is making them watch what he believes in. Director Myyskin has achieved that to a certain extent with his “Anjaathe”. Myyskin holds you by the scruff and has y ou glued. The narrative is unhurried and languid but the fare is riveting. Myyskin shows that there’s still hope for meaningful mainstream cinema.
What’s your name?
Myyskin.
That’s not your real name…
(Laughs) No my name is Raja but there were too may Rajas in the film industry. I got this name from Dostoevky’s “Idiot”.
I heard you’re a voracious reader. What’s the connection between that and cinema?
Basically I don’t consider myself a director. I’m a budding writer but I don’t want somebody else to interpret my writing into celluloid.
Is cinema a better way to expose your talent as a writer?
I was never interested in cinema. I changed nearly 60 jobs. I could not hold one job for more than a month.
So the last resort for the unemployed is cinema.
(Laughs) Absolutely right. When you have failed successfully everywhere, you think, ‘Okay let’s join cinema.’
I heard you worked in a bookshop because you couldn’t afford to buy books.
Yes, I worked in Landmark, which served as a university. I used to take notes. I learnt the basics of technique of cinema there.
You are not just a writer converting his thoughts into celluloid. You do have a flair for the medium.
When people ask me about how I’ve achieved technical finesse I don’t know what to say. I don’t follow anybody’s style of shot taking. When I write, I start visualising. I want to show something that appears new to me. For somebody whose strength is writing, you worked under Kadir who’s all form and no content.
I didn’t work for long with Kadir. I joined Vincent Selva who gave me a lot of freedom. I worked like I was possessed. I would do everything from the costume department to teaching acting, and overseeing the editing. I was consumed by movies. In the first film itself I was given the title co-director. After three films, I felt I was ready.
Working as an assistant is not time-bound. How do you decide you are ready to direct independently? I always tell my assistants that I can’t teach. If I compose a shot, it’s my interpretation of what I’ve written. The craft cannot be taught. As an assistant you should visualise your own shot for the same scene. You can’t work passively. Your first film “Chithiram Pesudhadi” didn’t do well initially till one song was promoted. Did you feel insulted when people said the film did well only because of that song?
I felt insulted, naturally. The film was released with 11 big movies. There were exactly eight viewers for the first show. I believed in my movie and knew it would succeed. I asked each of the eight viewers about the film and they found it interesting. The word spread and it took about one week, but it caught on. In the second week, there were 1,000 people waiting outside Crown Theatre. It’s then that they promoted the song and there was no looking back. As a director I felt insulted, but it worked as an invitation card.
But you had to run around to find a good producer.
I’ve been running around all my life to find a good producer. I wrote “Nanda Lala” from the bottom of my heart but nobody wanted to do it. To come out of the pain, it took me six months. “Anjaathe” was born out of that anger.
The script has been painstakingly written. It’s not a film that was improvised on the sets.
I’m a very emotional writer. I shut myself up in a room and give vent to all my feelings. I rave and I rant and can feel my characters’ pain. Whatever I write is truthful, which emerges on-screen convincingly.
Exhibitors are cribbing about the length.
Well, that’s natural. “Anjaathe” is in a semi-documentary style. It’s about the separation of two friends but that would have been ordinary. I wanted to show the working of cops and the kidnapping of innocent girls. I knew it was lengthy, but I wanted my audience to sit with me for an extra 30 minutes.
Wouldn’t the easiest thing have been to cut the songs?
In fact I hate shooting songs. I’m very uncomfortable. It stalls my narration. I told everyone to cut the songs but keep the story intact. The day I make a movie without songs, I’ll accept myself as a successful director.
You’ve also sung a couple of songs.
I was a track singer during my assistant days. I sang “Kannadasan” as a track, but the music director retained it. The title song happened by chance. Shooting had been cancelled and I was idling in my room when I chanced upon a collection of Bharatiyar poems. The words moved me and I immediately called the music director. I felt powerful singing that song. It’s as if Bharatiyar’s spirit had entered my body.
Why didn’t you sign a big star? Is it because you don’t want to share the spotlight?
It’s a story sans heroism. If you see, the hero gets defeated continuously. The big heroes have to satisfy their fans.
There was a rumour that you were writing a script for Kamal Hassan.
That’s a rumour I wish were true. I’ll feel most fortunate to work with him.
I think I have to put in a lot of hard work to reach there.

I also saw the movie again in the weekend. Second time viewing was slightly better.
I could notice that the director narrates by splitting the entire movie into three themes. He had placed the scenes relevant to all the three themes one after the other. Neraya scenes la audience assumptionsukkae viduraar and it is complex as well. For e.g., When Naraein identifies logu's voice, we have to either assume that it is due to logu's voice helped or the word 'kazhuthai thirugiduvaen'. Ithu maari neraya edathula.
and I don't know why kiruba becomes happy when Daya says that he was trying to do that with narein's sister. Ippadi neraya kelvi kuri irukkira scenes. Ithukku pathil naamalae thedanum pola.
As someone pointed out here, lungi ah vachi DNA test panniya kirubava pidikka poraanga namma TN police
I liked this narration.
One of the unsung heroes of the film. C sundar babu (music director). BGM is TOP CLASS. It lifts many scenes and I want to know how our pundits rate his work :P

I think it's the sentence "Kazhutthai thirugiduven". He doesn't tell Logu's name immediately after hearing the voice. He thinks hard for sometime and when he listens to that sentence he gets it right. Originally Posted by selvakumar

The only incident he knows on this behavior of DAYA is his attempt to rape the heroine vijayalakshmi. she is not a child. Then how ?
I mean.. I am not sure how narain concludes or guesses that daya is the guy who rapes girls.

It's because of Logu connection. They already know Logu is involved in the kidnappings and they are looking out for his friends.

I feel its completely understandable. kastapattavanukku velai kedaikama nogama nonbi kumbittavanukku velai kedaikkum podhu vaara athiram serianadhu dhan. IMHO his anger on naren is completely justified. With no avenues to show his anger on the society and since naren(and other similar guys who got SI seat by hook or crook) is also a "part" from the society he vents his anger and dissatisfaction on him. In short put yourself in kripa's shoes you can understand his anger

However this society is having character's like kiruba too. We all can show anger towards our friend when they do something wrong. Well that wont last for long. Kiruba's anger is over corruption and where Naren also was part of that corruption and he completely believes because of Naren like people his lifetime ambition is gone. So there is reason for kiruba's anger and it goes to the extend of being happy that Naren's sister trying to seduce prasanna. It is not that everyone does that, but there are always an exception. Other than that it was shown in the beginning itself kiruba cannot accept failures more than anything.

I think the main problem with the movie was the characterization. The characters all seem important, but none of them make an impact. Kriba's is the most convoluted and eccentric of them all. If the guy can't stand a failure in his exams how is he going to face up to the realities of such a tough job?!! The character, IMO, doesn't evoke sympathy at all.

That’s true! For example Ponvannan, being a cop he is supposed to do something useful to catch Prasanna & co Originally Posted by kannannn
Mostly all his attempts are failures. Even in the climax just by tracing the route of Naren he shoots Prasanna.IMO there is no need of Ponvannan character at all. His position could have been filled by Naren, so that, it would have increased the value of that character.

KirubA's acting minus-A ?
Hmm didn't feel that way at all.
The scene where he reads the ransom note in a shaky voice, the scene where he gets to know more about Daya in the garage near the climax, the hospital scenes where he hyperreacts to Naren helping them monetarily...
Of course there are issue with his characterization. But in the final analysis, I found him quite convincing as someone who is destroyed by how things panned out. It compensated for some ordionary scenes like "ippo unakku sandhOshamA dA" types.
Also possible that he was impressive by a good distance compared to Naren

Finally watched Anjaadhe, courtesy of Astro Vellithirai, which is screening the best movies of 2008 with Anjaadhe coming on No. 2.
guess which movie will be screened today? :P
It's a great pity that I was not able to watch Anjadhe on the big screen. Small screen or not, Anjaadhe is certainly the BEST MOVIE for 2008 for me!
I was simply swept away for most parts of the movie, and couldnt help being mersmerised at many parts of the movie. One part is entrenched in my mind - when Kiruba's mother curses Sathya for bringing disrepute to her son - nee mannOdu pOganum, unga appavukku heart attack varanum, un thangachiya evanudhu kedukkanum... she continues along these lines and suddenly her husband collapses with a heart attack. What a visual and shocking impression!
Scenes that had low shots were amazingly well thought out and very K Balachanderish.
The kidnapping scenes were so real that Saroja kidnapping seem schoolboyish. The scenes were done so well that it will send tremors to anyone with daughters who seem to be so vulnerable.
If we can discount the songs, Anjaadhe is definietly world-class material.
Was it then without any faults?
Unfortunately not. The climax was unnecessarily lengthened and although the suspense was good and adrenalin was packing in, alas Myskin chose to use cliches to sum up the story with macho fights, sister sentiment, stopping watch syndrome, etc. 
But minus these irritations, Anjaadhe is indeed a great movie and something that should make every tamil movie buff proud!

2. subramaniapuram
3. bommalAttam
4. sarOjA
5. poo (though it was irritating in places I had no other movie to put it in this spot)
Rest are below average stuff, but 2009 looks so much promising... Hope TFI goes to the next level.
