Watch Anbe Sivam For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Lack of good storyline.

As Good As It Gets

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

This is the second film that I have seen in recent times (the other being Ikiru) that has the power to change the course of the life of its viewer, for the better. Haasan is breathtakingly brilliant in Anbe Sivam (Love is God), even more so in my opinion than his turn in the Godfather-inspired Nayakan. He traverses the entire gamut of emotions and is especially brilliant in the comic scenes. He is master thinker, too, which is evident from the screenplay that he has written. While the script prima facie seems to be a rip off of the classic "Planes, trains and automobiles" ("Due Date" was another recent spin on the same story), the depth that Haasan offers because of the inherent conflict that he introduces in the exchanges between Sivam, who is a communist, a "comrade" and Anbarasu, the quintessential child of free market, gives the happenings a rare gravitas, inspite of the comic incidences. And although the love story that plays in flashback runs in a predictable fashion and takes away some of the sheen, it ends in a spectacularly jaw dropping climax that stunned me. Hindi movie audience has been truly unfortunate as we have seen so little of Kamal Haasan. There has been the odd Appu Raja, wherein he blew away with his double act. Then there was the abhorrent "Abhay", which could have put an insomniac to sleep. Watching this is a penance that Hindi movie watchers who have berated Kamal Haasan as an overrated actor should perform, at least once. This is available, with English subtitles, on Amazon Prime.

This movie stars where John Hughes's Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987) ends. Of course Anbe Sivam line may inspired from PT&A but the life they discussed in Anbe Shivam is far better than PT&A. This movie shows the thin line between copy and inspiration.If anyone who can't shred a tear after watching Kamal's performance in climax they might have rock solid heart. Every time i watch climax i can't resist my tears. Wow what a amazing experience this movie is.The title song is sung by Kamal Hasan and his voice has as much depth as the meaning of song has. This is the only movie Kamal has worked with music director Vidyasagar.The melody song while painting room also good one.If we come to performances i am not getting words to describe Kamal's performance(some of my friends who don't like Kamal also appreciated his performance). Madhavan did a good job. Nasar and Santhana Bharathi are simple good.I don't want to brag about story here but i want tell how much i enjoyed watching two people's journey while discussing life and ideologies. There are so many humorous incidents(not scenes) in the journey.Finally if you like Bromance this is one of that kind(Like Casablanca and Lives of others).GO WATCH IT AND Don't BLAME ME IF YOU WET YOUR EYES.

Ever wondered what keeps humans going? Think of your biggest skill, your best feature and the main reason for your level of confidence. Now what if a tragedy stole this from you? What next? How will you face the world? Will you be able to love yourself again? This movie answers these and beyond. The movie which is better related to as an experience will leave you awestruck in every possible way.The story is about a journey shared by two people - Nalla Sivam aka Nalla(Kamal Haasan), an experienced, physically challenged, middle aged guy and Anbarasu aka A.Aras ( R. Madhavan ), a short tempered, immature, good at heart youth from Bhuvaneshar to Chennai ( Along east coast of India ). Nalla, being the matured he is, teaches Aras that it is love that is god! He takes us along with Aras through an emotional havoc which leaves our heart with no space but for love. Nalla's heart touching flashback, the words he utters to show his brotherly love to Aras, and the way their stories converge, are few of the many brilliant moments this movie has to offer. The movie poses strong philosophical views to those deep thinkers. It's title "Anbe Sivam" can also be seen to imply that Anbarasu is Nalla Sivam. That is, beyond any truth, you and I are one and the same.This movie is a must watch if you thought miracles happen to change one's perspective.PS : The fact that it is directed by Sundar C may come as a shock to any 2000's kid who would have been most vulnerable to his recent ventures.

Why is Anbe Sivam regarded as the best movie in the history of Tamil cinema by many? Did this movie have any story at all? First of all is it a movie? No. Anbe Sivam is an experience, not only for one Madhavan but for another few thousands, who care to learn quite a lot of things and feel conceited about themselves, but fail miserably to confront the vagaries of life. What was the movie all about? An experienced matured man and a squeamish, egotist but tender hearted youth (a typical modern day youth) traveling together from Bhubaneshwar to Chennai(East coast of India).Fate hinders their journey in all possible ways which Madhavan initially considers exasperating but later reveres as an experience of a lifetime. The story is as simple as that but the associated scenes,duologue's and the lessons learned reverberate through your mind for a long time.Be it the floods,train accident or the little boy's death it is Madhavan who breaks down and get shattered. But Kamalhassan adapts himself and reconciles himself to reality and helps in the best possible way he can. While it takes a lot of effort for Madhavan to tell Kamalhaasan about his fraternal love towards him, Kamalhaasan finds it easy to tell 'A.Ars, you are a go(o)d man' (it's not that easy to tell it to someone earnestly). From where did Kamal get this maturity? The story moves into the flashback of Kamal,a communist, who loves the daughter of a capitalist, Nasser, whom he opposes as a worker regarding wages. When the duo decide to elope to Kerala for marriage, their bus meets with a gory accident. Kamal is badly bruised losing a limb and is totally disfigured. While struggling in bed for life, Nasser speaks extremely rude and blatant to Kamal. On conjuring up the scenes after the accident, he evaluates stark contrast of Nasser and the sister. Kamal sees god through the sister and sees it subsequently in quite a lot of people who propagate love.His outlook changes completely. The first half with some lighter moments, the middle with some interesting duologue's and the last with some really shaking scenes Anbe Sivam stands tall amidst other usual Tamil movies. Madhavan is extraordinary communicating the emotions powerfully(especially in the climax dialogue with Kamalhaasan). The one fight scene in the middle could have been avoided. Rather than going abroad for shooting songs, this movie has brought out some really excellent locations in India( not only in machi machi song). The choice of season to shoot this movie has been brilliant with the monsoon accentuating the kind of feelings to be conveyed. Does the name 'Anbe Sivam' mean 'Anbarase Nallasivam' trying to say 'All are one soul'? Kamal only knows. Finally, I'm sure it would not take any effort for anyone who has seen this movie to say 'I love you Dr.Kamalhaasan' for such an excellent story and screenplay.
