'Andhagan' Movie Review: What's Good, What's Bad; Find Out Here

Prashanth and Priya Anand-starrer 'Andhagan' has hit the screens on Friday. The crime thriller film is directed by Thiagarajan who co-wrote the screenplay with Pattukkottai Prabakar, and produced by Staar Movies.

Apart from Prashanth and Priya Anand, the film stars Simran, Priya Anand, Karthik, Samuthirakani, Urvashi, Yogi Babu, K. S. Ravikumar, Vanitha Vijayakumar and late Manobala. The film has Santhosh Narayanan's music, Ravi Yadav's cinematography and Sathish Suriya's editing.

Story:
It is a remake of the 2018 Hindi film 'Andhadhun'. The story revolves around Krishna (Prashanth), an aspiring pianist who pretends to be blind to advance his career. His life takes a turn when he meets Julie (Priya Anand) and gets a job at her resto-bar, sparking a romance.

Things escalate when actor Karthik (Karthik) invites Krishna to perform at his anniversary celebration, where Krishna witnesses Karthik's murder by his wife, Simy (Simran), and her lover Kani (Samuthirakani). Despite maintaining his blind act, Krishna discovers that Kani is a police inspector. The rest of Andhagan unravels this suspenseful, yet comedic, tale.

'Andhagan' delivers a strong punch as a remake that stays true to the original while perfectly aligning with Tamil sensibilities. The film is engaging from start to finish, with standout performances from Prashanth and Simran Bagga. Prashanth proves his enduring talent, and Simran arguably outshines Tabu from the original. The ensemble cast, including Priya Anand, adds to the film's charm.

Santhosh's music score brings a fresh vibe to the film, with a couple of standout tracks. Even if you've seen the original, Andhagan remains a must-watch for its tight narrative and quality performances.

What Netizens Say About The Film?

Sreedhar Pillai: An engaging & entertaining thriller due to its casting and writing laced with black humour. It is a scene to scene faithful remake of 2018 Sriram Raghavan's Andhadhun and director #Thyagarajan does a neat job sticking to the original without any deviation and perfect casting.

#Prashanth has done full justice to his role as the blind pianist, while @SimranbaggaOffc
as a femme fatale steals the show! The supporting cast @thondankani, @PriyaAnand, #Urvasi &
@ksravikumardir are aptly cast. 1st half moves faster than 2nd half.

Andhagan is well made film that works as a thriller and a comedy.
