Anniyan is a complete family entertainer. Anniyan is brilliantly executed from start to finish. Though Anniyan resembles Shankar's earlier films Indian and Muthalvan, it's the narration which makes all the difference. Vikram is amazing, his histrionics are super. Anniyan has breathtaking visuals, great action scenes and excellently choreographed songs and last but not the least VIKRAM. A must see movie.

Story:
Ramanujam alias Ambi (Vikram) is called as Rules Ramanujam as he goes by the rule book. A lawyer by profession, he reacts to people who break the rules like disobeying traffic rules, not helping people in distress, eve-teasing in transport buses, spitting on roads, not providing standard meals in trains and so on… His good intentions and proper approach do not take him anywhere. He is a stickler for rules and that does not always work.
His father Parthasarathy (Nedumudi Venu) keeps advising him that single handedly he cannot change the world. He gets shattered when he realizes that his childhood friend and now a medical student Nandhini (Sada) refuses his love. He comes across a website anniyan.com which follows the Garudapuranam, the Hindu folklore which is similar to the Christian judgment which reveals that those who commit misdeeds will be punished in hell according to the degree of their deeds. And Ambi takes the avatar of Anniyan. He kick starts a process through which he starts punishing the wicked people on earth. In the meantime, there is another character Remo, a ravishing supermodel who tries to cajole Nandhini, and she falls head over heels in love with him. Remo is none other than Ambi.
One day on seeing Nandhini cheating the income tax people Ambi transforms to Anniyan and chases her to kill her. Nandhini realizing something wrong with Ambi take him to a psychiatrist, who discovers that Ambi suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD). In a split second, Ambi transforms into Anniyan and then to Remo much to the surprise of the doctors and Nandhini. In a flashback, it is revealed why Ambi suffers from MPD. Amidst all this drama, an untiring policeman Prabhakar (Prakash Raj) gets down to track all the killings and the mystery behind them. Whether the police manage to nail Ambi forms the thrilling climax.

Performance:
Vikram potrays three characters in Anniyan. He easily slips into all three characters. Anniyan is definitely a feather in the cap of Vikram. Sada is passable. She excels only in the glamourous songs but acting wise has a long way to go. Nedumudi Venu as the hero's father does a good job. Vivek's comedy does raise a few laughs. Prakashraj is the scene stealer and matches up to Vikram.

Music:
Harris Jayaraj music with the visuals gives a stunning effect. 'Kannum Kannum Nokia' is the pick of the lot.
Verdict:
Hit.
