reading
our
review
to
know
what
the
Tamil
version
has
to
offer.
Tamilselvanum
Thaniyar
Anjalum
Plot:
A
greedy
doctor,
played
by
Ashutosh
Rana,
finds
a
new
method
to
cure
various
diseases
like
Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's
and
spinal
cord
injuries.
But
his
remedy
comes
at
a
cost
and
a
grievous
one
at
that.
Ashutosh
removes
stem
cells
from
foetuses
and
uses
them
to
cure
his
patients,
which
results
in
many
abortions
all
over
Tamil
Nadu
(he
employs
doctors
throughout
the
state
to
carry
out
the
dirty
work).
Thambi
Ramaiah,
who
works
at
one
of
those
hospitals,
is
disturbed
by
the
large
number
of
abortions
and
decides
to
courier
a
sample
of
the
pill
used
to
kill
unborn
babies
to
Nassar,
an
activist.
Jai,
a
courier
boy,
is
sucked
into
the
issue
when
he
is
entrusted
with
the
task
of
delivering
Thambi
Ramaiah's
parcel.
Performances:
Jai
looks
convincing
in
his
courier
boy
avatar.
However,
when
it
comes
to
the
action
sequences,
the
actor
looks
a
tad
out
of
place.
The
inclusion
of
Yami
Gautham's
character
looks
forced
and
the
romantic
portions
involving
her
is
a
major
drawback
as
they
slow
down
the
pace
of
the
film.
Similarly,
comedy
tracks
involving
Santhanam
and
VTV
Ganesh
gets
tedious
after
a
point
and
in
the
second
half,
it
becomes
unbearable
as
it
stops
the
flow
of
the
core
plot.
Technicalities:
Karthik's
background
score
is
apt
at
many
places.
Sathya's
cinematography
is
good
as
it
delivers
several
eye
candy
moments,
apart
from
capturing
the
true
essence
of
the
film.
Tamilselvanum
Thaniyar
Anjalum
has
a
promising
plot,
but
is
marred
by
poor
screenplay
which
includes
several
unwanted
elements,
both
in
the
first
as
well
as
second
half.
Overall
View:
This
Jai-starrer
could've
been
an
edge
of
the
seat
thriller.
But
how
many
Tamil
directors
are
bold
enough
to
completely
trust
their
story?
Tamilselvanum
Thaniyar
Anjalum
is
another
film
that
suffers
at
the
hands
of
commercialization.
