Weekend - Anniyan

After our trip to LISTEN, we watched a Tamil movie called “Anniyan”. Hyped beyond the attention it deserves. It is the story of a Brahmin, the character played by Vikram, who suffers from multiple personality disorder, flavored with concepts from Hindu Mythology. He exhibits more of a Jekyll and Hyde behavior. The dark sides of him surface whenever he sees sins being committed in the form of injustice, corruption, inequality, disrespect toward women- anything that a middle class Indian would go through.
What I liked? - The dialogues. A very good portrayal of today’s India and the civilized Indians enjoying and exploiting democracy. 1 billion+ nation and not even 1 gold medal at the Olympics.
Should you watch? – No hurry. Watch it on a VCD/DVD. Not worth spending 100 bucks.
