Shankar trend setter, 20 June 2005
Author: Ramachandran Swaminathan from Chennai

Anniyan the big movie of this year is definitely a worth for money.This time "shankar" did a excellent job."Vikram as ambi , remo & anniyan " three characters in which ambi dominates the all.Multiple personality disorder which was the movies base is new to Indian film industry.All credit goes to "vikram" ,he did a noteworthy performance."Satha" as "nandhini" did a fare job."Vivek & Prakashraj" do did a commendable job.Music by "harris jayaraj" is always a pleasant for ears.This time carnatic based songs Ayyangaru veetu azhage in which "hariharan & harini" mesmerize the people by their voice.Shankars message is Indians need more self discipline in to make India a super power.Must see film for all audience. Don't Miss it.
