Antony Yaar – Better don’t watch it

Looks like Kollywood directors are turning dizzied with their thoughts. Recently, we have been getting through whole lot of flimsy flicks that should’ve been made before couple of decades in time. Well, followed by the most annoying flicks on the row alike ‘Vedigundu Murugesan’ and ‘Malayan’, this week’s release ‘Antony Yaar’ seems to be falling under the same category.

Nothing as special about the story as you could’ve gone through it a million times. Shaam had invigorated us with his recent Telugu film ‘Kick’ dashes down our hopes with a below average film. He shouldn’t have opted for even if he was paid a big bill of blank cheque.

The film revolves around Antony (Shaam), an orphan who is born and brought up in fisherman community. He is raised by a church father (Rajesh) of St. Antony’s Church. The entire area of fishermen is owned by a good Michael (Director Lal), who during most of the times keeps troubling out the innocent people. Antony is their only hope who raises his voice against them and gets wedged with a serious situation of almost slaughtered to death and thrown into mid-sea.

Rest of the film is about Antony getting back to life with the vivid prayers of innocent fishermen and their family and how he settles the scores with Michael.

Oops! The complete film is so annoying with nettlesome ingredients that in no way will get the audiences’ intact to the screens… On the pars, there’s lots of amateurish take on technical aspects. Except Santanio’s cinematography nothing is commendable. Musical score by Dheena is sure to spoil your eardrums while editing doesn’t deliver you an impact.

Shaam keeps working for the best all throughout the film while Malikka Kapoor spots herself to be numb on her parts. Lal is good on his show while Vivek’s comedy fails to evoke mirthful moments.

On the whole, ‘Antony Yaar’ has no probabilities of surviving at box office and our best advice is ‘Better not watch it’.
