Directed
by
Thangam
Saravanan
and
produced
by
well-known
stunt
choreographer
Dhilip
Subbarayan,
the
team
of
Anjala
had
come
up
with
unique
promotional
strategy
that
had
kindled
the
curiosity
among
many
movie
buffs.
Continue
reading
our
movie
review
to
know
what
exactly
does
Anjala
has
to
offer
you
this
weekend.
Anjala
Plot:
Pasupathy
owns
a
tea
stall
named
Anjala,
a
stall
that
offers
the
town's
inhabitants
more
than
just
tea
-
a
rich
piece
of
history
spanning
over
100
years.
The
town
is
proud
of
its
tea
stall
as
it
provides
it
an
identity.
Such
is
the
emotional
connect
of
people
living
in
that
place
with
their
most
famous
stall,
Anjala.
But
the
tea
stall
runs
into
trouble
when
a
miscreant
uses
it
to
execute
an
illegal
activity.
More
trouble
brews
when
the
government
decides
to
get
rid
of
the
stall
in
the
name
of
development.
What
happens
to
the
much
loved
stall?
Why
is
the
shop's
history
so
prominent
to
the
people
living
in
that
town?
Answers
to
these
questions
forms
the
rest
of
the
story.
Performances:
This
film
belongs
to
Pasupathy.
Be
it
his
act
in
the
flashback
portions
or
in
the
current
timeline,
the
actor
is
a
class
act.
Vimal
and
Nandita
come
up
with
believable
performances
and
so
does
other
performers
like
'Aadukalam'
Murugadoss,
Imman
'Annachi',
Subbu
Panchu
and
Riythvika
of
Madras
fame.
Technicalities:
Though
the
first
half
has
enough
in
it
to
keep
us
hooked
to
the
big
screen,
the
latter
half
could've
been
shortened,
for
it
drags
at
many
places.
Background
score
by
Gopi
Sunder
is
mediocre
and
fails
to
elevate
certain
scenes.
KL
Praveen's
editing
is
neat
but
makes
you
wonder
why
the
editor
did
not
take
charge
in
the
latter
half,
especially
towards
the
end.
Cinematographer
Ravi
Kannan
comes
up
with
a
praiseworthy
job.
His
work
in
the
flashback
portion
might
leave
you
wanting
for
more.
Overall
View:
Director
Thangam
Saravanan
has
to
be
appreciated
for
taking
up
an
unusual
yet
sensitive
subject.
Had
the
technicalities
fallen
in
place,
Anjala
could've
provided
a
better
overall
cinematic
experience.
