ANWAR -- More style but...

Amal neerad the rgv of malayalm cinema is back with another product,as expected in the lines of his previous flicks BIG B and Saagar.Of this Big B was a trendsetter (no wonder he chose the voice of Padmashree Bharath Mammootty to give the intro notes and closing notes in Anwar)while saagar failed miserably.Well he tries his luck yet again with prithvi moulded into the jackets and shoes of his typical hero.

Set against a relevant plot of terrorism,amal doesnt introduce anything new but tries to portray a glossy stylish version of the many movies with similar content.
Despite some negative views i heard prior to the show,the movie was comfortable enough for me.

Prithvi as Anwar steals the show with his looks and style,Laal has done a neat job,thanks to smilar characters he has done in the past.Prakash raj too scores in the minimal scenes he is in.Mamta has her task cut out as a heroine with limited performance.Songs are well shot and are already chartbusters,there could have been more space between the songs though .Slow Mos,rain,Dust,Guns,more guns,bigger guns,bullets .....amal neerad has got them all here too....!!!Times up for him to try something new in his narration style.Being the scripter and director he should have tried to avoid the situations/scenes/shots that virtually relates to his previous stuffs.Should have come up with a more emotional drama/sentiments dealing with such themes.

Anwar is more style ans less substance. Watchable if you like movies of such genre.
