Anjathey - Review

Anjathey is all about two friends, whose roles in the life are swapped in a sudden change of lucks. Sathyanathan (Narain) and Krupakaran (Ajmal) are sons of police constables living in a police colony trying to become police themselfs.Narain, decides to compete for SI selection & joins as SI but at the same time, Ajmal turns into rowdy on loosing the chance to become SI. The rest of the story is about the drastic changes in their lives and how they deal with them.


Mysskin has made the film with style and substance. His execution of the film is smart and effective. He has executed many scenes well. The second kidnapping incident is one such scene. The emotion of the father of the victimized girl is moving. The director has made the scene multi dimensional by putting together the emotion of the father and daughter, the guilty feelings of Kripa, and the determined hunt of the police force.

Prasanna, playing the villan role on 100% stands in mind. That you never get bored despite the length (3 hours and 10 minutes) is a testimony to the talent of the director. The length of the climax is the only time when the narrative is dragged.
