Superstar Tries His Best, But The Film Trembles!

The story is extremely basic without much of a fluency. The happenings are so random and the plot-points comes out of nowhere, like a TV serial, new characters appear all of a sudden for every few minutes with different lame reasons. It is like we're left clueless without a clarity on the destiny, h...(more)

Rajinikanth's Diwali release is cinematic equivalent of the meeting that could've been an email

Subtlety has never been Siva�s strong suit. However, at the least, his films have a cohesive emotional fabric. It is a massive disappointment that Annaatthe lacks the basics. (more)

Where is the entertainment?

Siva's poor understanding of the universe of a 'good Rajinikanth film' shines through. He picks a terrific Jagapathi Babu as the antagonist only to waste him. A powerful villain going toe-to-toe with Rajinikanth has produced some terrific entertainer.Annaatthe lacks mouth-watering hero-villain face-...(more)

Even Rajinikanth cannot save badly written Annaaatthe

Given that the sibling bond is its core, we expect scenes that show us why and how Kaalaiyan and Meenatchi are close. Instead, like in the recent Udanpirappe, characters only keep talking about the relationship! With this leading to an unaffecting tale, D Imman's use of a sentimental score hardly ad...(more)

Rajinikanth's action drama belongs in a museum

Meena and Khushbu appear in a completely jarring comedy track, and it's sad to see the actors being reduced to this. Rajinikanth reels off punch dialogues faster than a jet plane but you can see that the man is tired. The affection you have for the actor makes you forgive the obvious stiffness in hi...(more)

Annaatthe is a watchable mass commercial film with high dose of sentiment and action.

Annaatthe is the kind of the film that we call as a template film. The first half consists of scenes that establish the bond between Kalaiyyan and his sister Thanga Meenakshi, while the second half is dominated with a series of action blocks. Director Siva's strength is in creating emotional scenes ...(more)
