What a movie this is!?!!
Can Tamil movie industry produce such a master-piece?
I had this doubt for a long time..Not now!! This movie is above all. Among the usual formula films, this is a rare Gem! The story is not so new, but the screenplay and acting surpasses everything.
Anbarasu(Madhavan) is a posh guy who like to be called A.Ars. While looking for a shooting location just 4 days before the marriage in Orissa, he is left stranded there because of the rains and floods. Sivam(Kamalhassan) is a handicap with bruises all over his face and he walks with a limp. He is on his way to Chennai after getting the check for the flood affected people back in Chennai. Circumstances make them both travel together. Anbarasu is extremely irritated with Sivam and he constantly scolds him for advising him far too much. Amidst that, Sivam's flashback unfolds. It is a usual story of Hero-loves-rich-girl-father-doesn't-accept-so-they-run-off.While they do that, Sivam is involved in an accident and thats the reason he has got all the bruises. When he returns back to see Bala(Kiran -his lover), his father Nasser tells him that she is married and settled in America. So Sivam comes off telling that he wont disturb her anymore.
Anbarasu slowly begins to like Sivam who helped him come to Chennai safe and sound before the marriage. When he comes to know of his family, Anbarasu is touched. He asks Sivam to be his brother and to stay with him forever. The story goes as though it is going to have a happy ending, but there is a twist. The girl whom Anbarasu is going to marry is none other than Bala. When Sivam sees that, he is shocked. Nasser calls Sivam and talks with him. Sivam promises that he wont tell Bala about what happened only if Nasser signs the papers to increase the monthly wages of the workers in his factory from 910. He does that and the story does not end there. Nasser asks his right hand (Santhana Barathi) to kill Sivam who does not do that because of humanitarian reasons.The story ends there.
The theme "Love is God" is perfectly brought out through this movie. Kamals acting as the handicap Nallasivam makes us cry at many places. Particularly when he sees his face in the mirror after the accident, tears welling up in his eyes, it makes everyone cry! What an actor he is?
Madhavan is a surprise package! He has acted really well in this movie. His angry remarks to Sivam and the way he gets irritated by Sivam's stupid comments make it all the more enjoyable. A special mention about the dialog's penned by cartoonist Madhan (who eventually makes a guest appearance in the movie). The dialog's are both imaginative and powerful, which makes us laugh and at the same time think! Sundar.C, a man known for his comedy movies has made an impression here with his Awesome screenplay! Music rendered by Vidhyasagar is worth a mention, particularly the title song "Anbe Sivam" and the duet "Poo Vaasam".
For the People who love Good cinema, this is a MUST SEE!!:)
