When you have a film that's titled Annadurai, you are bound to go in expecting a political thriller. That is how popular our Late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Annadurai is even today. But the subject that the director has handled is an action drama that revolves around an identical twin.

Vijay Antony plays dual roles, and has acquitted himself well to both. The different range of emotions from being helpless to angry and then turning hopeless, the actor has delivered well. However, the actor definitely needs to work on his on-screen romantic side. We cannot put the entire blame on Vijay Antony’s shoulder as the love scenes by itself lacks fizz.

Apart from producing, acting in two roles, composing music, Vijay Antony also turns editor with Annadurai. The screenplay in the first half is by and large engaging. Some of the scenes are heart-wrenching, some are massy while some are over dramatic.

The second half, however, could have been more enticing. When the story unfolds, the script travels in an unpredictable terrain. The latter half could have been dealt in a different fashion.
