When you’ve got been an ardent fan of director Siva and have watched his earlier movies like ‘Vedalam’ and ‘Viswasam’, then you definitely just about know what to anticipate in ‘Annaatthe’.

Siva sticks to his time-tested system of household sentiment that has labored so properly for him prior to now. If his ‘Viswasam’ was in regards to the love of a dad for his daughter, then ‘Annaatthe’ is in regards to the love of a brother for his sister.

The story is about Kaalaiyan (Rajinikanth), whose world revolves round his youthful sister Thanga Meenakshi (Keerthy Suresh). Life is bliss for the brother and sister till at some point, Kaalaiyan realises that it’s time to get his sister married.

He decides that the bridegroom who weds her should be inside a radius of 5 km from his residence in order that he can go to her usually and take excellent care of her. She too says that his choice is her choice and agrees to wed a younger man of his selection. On the day of the marriage, nonetheless, she elopes together with her boyfriend. What occurs then is what ‘Annaatthe’ is all about.

It doesn’t take an skilled to identify the similarities between Siva’s newest providing and his earlier movies, notably ‘Viswasam’ and ‘Vedalam’.

Pattern this: In ‘Viswasam’, the hero (Ajith), who comes from a rural background, falls in love with a well-educated city-bred physician (performed by Nayanthara). In ‘Annaatthe’, Kaalaiyan (Rajinikanth) comes from Soorakottai and falls in love with a well-educated lawyer (performed by Nayanthara).

Whereas in ‘Viswasam’, the hero goes to a different metropolis, to the help of his spouse and daughter, regardless of their relationship having turned bitter, in ‘Annaatthe’, the protagonist goes to Kolkata to the help of his pricey sister, though she had disillusioned him and eloped with the person of her selection.

The similarities don’t finish there. In reality, we’re solely simply getting began. The protagonist of ‘Viswasam’ has a sidekick (performed by Roboshankar), who blurts out what are supposed to be English phrases or phrases every time the hero asks for a translation. In ‘Annaatthe’, Soori performs that function, fortunately reeling out phrases imagined to be from the English language.

Each protagonists in each plots come from giant joint households. Each wield nice clout and, for sure, are altruists.

It’s evident that Siva has banked massive on the system that has labored for him repeatedly. ‘Vedalam’ and ‘Viswasam’, nonetheless, had been entertaining; ‘Annaatthe’, which has been made just about on the identical traces, just isn’t.

What appears to have didn’t click on is the comedy issue. Whereas ‘Vedalam’ and ‘Viswasam’ had real comedy sequences that made the movie a light-hearted affair, the supposedly humorous elements in ‘Annaaththe’ actually fall flat. Overlook laughter, they even fail to evoke a smile.

The opposite issue that has let the movie down massive time is its logic. ‘Vedalam’ and ‘Viswasam’ had been additionally industrial entertainers, however there was a logical sequence connecting all of the occasions within the plots of those movies. That doesn’t occur in ‘Annaatthe’.

On the optimistic facet, Keerthy Suresh does a improbable job as Thanga Meenakshi. Her efficiency is spectacular as she wins your coronary heart because the cute sister, who’s unable to satisfy her loving brother because of the unlucky scenario she finds herself in.

Rajinikanth comes up with a neat efficiency but once more. Full marks to the actor for his glorious portrayal of Kaalaiyan, regardless of age not being on his facet. Be it dance or combat sequences, the actor comes up with an lively efficiency that’s spectacular to say the least.

One different issue that works in ‘Annaatthe’ are its dialogues. A number of the dialogues are significant and price being attentive to. For example, the one which Rajini utters to his sister, “Your respect for me and my excessive expectations from you could have invariably come up as a wall between us.” Or, the place he says, “What issues finally is how many individuals’s faces have a smile when you’re alive and the way many individuals’s faces have tears if you die. That may say what sort of an individual you might be.”

Dialogues aside, Imman’s music for the songs additionally works.

But, on the entire, ‘Annaatthe’ finally ends up being a sentimental drama that has little or no to supply by way of leisure.
