Anniyan (2005)
Anniyan is streaming in India on Zee5, Sun Nxt.
The verdict
Anniyan holds up as a perfectly decent Tamil film, if not a remarkable one. It's sitting at 7.4/10 on TMDB across 125 ratings, which puts it comfortably above average. Budget a full evening — it runs a hefty 181 minutes. In India you can stream it on Zee5, Sun Nxt.
Should you spend 3h 1m on it?
3h 1m of Tamil action with a drama streak, fine for the whole family. At this length it's the whole evening's plan, not something to slot in after dinner.
Don't watch this if…
- you don't have 3h 1m to give it tonight — this is a full evening, not a background watch
- you want something with an edge to it — this is certified U, pitched wide
- Why
- 7.4/10 from 125 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- you want something you can finish before a reasonable bedtime
- Best for
- An evening with the household together
Story
Unable to tolerate society's injustices and devastated by rejection from the woman he loves, a meek lawyer develops a split personality: one side a vengeful vigilante killer punishing evildoers, the other a dashing playboy capable of winning her heart. Complications arise when the three sides begin to collide.
