முதல் பார்வை: எனிமி - தரமான சினிமா

நாசகார வேலைகளை ஒரு மளிகைக் கடைக்காரரின் மகன் தடுத்தால், அதற்கு மூளையாகச் செயல்பட்டவர் பழைய நண்பன் எனத் தெரிந்து மோதினால் அதுவே 'எனிமி'.

சிங்கப்பூரில் சூப்பர் மார்க்கெட் நடத்தி வருகிறார் ராமலிங்கம் (தம்பி ராமையா). இவரது மகன் சோழன் (விஷால்) அப்பாவுடன் இருந்து வணிக நிர்வாகத்தைக் கவனித்து வருகிறார். பல தமிழ்க் குடும்பங்கள் அங்கு ஒருங்கிணைப்புடன் வாழ்ந்து வருகின்றன. இந்நிலையில் சோழனுக்குத் தெரிந்த 11 பேர் சிலிண்டர் கேஸ் கசிவால் ஏற்பட்ட திடீர் விபத்தில் இறந்து விடுகின்றனர். ஆனால், அது விபத்தல்ல, திட்டமிட்ட படுகொலை, தீவிரவாத சதிச்செயல் என்று சோழனுக்குத் தெரியவருகிறது. 11 பேரின் குடும்பத்துக்கு ஆறுதல் தெரிவிக்க வரும் இந்திய வெளியுறவுத் துறை அமைச்சருக்கும் ஆபத்து ஏற்படுவதை அறிந்த சோழன் அவரைக் காப்பாற்ற முயல்கிறார். ஆனால், அவரே பிரச்சினையில் சிக்கி விசாரணைக்கு உட்படுத்தப்படுகிறார்.

அந்தப் பிரச்சினையிலிருந்து விஷால் தப்பித்தாரா, வெளியுறவுத் துறை அமைச்சரைக் கொல்லத் திட்டம் தீட்டியது யார், அதன் பின்னணி என்ன, விஷாலின் பழைய நண்பன் ஏன் இந்த விவகாரத்துக்குள் வருகிறார் போன்ற கேள்விகளுக்கு பதில் சொல்கிறது திரைக்கதை.

'அரிமா நம்பி', 'இருமுகன்', 'நோட்டா' படங்களை இயக்கிய ஆனந்த் ஷங்கரின் நான்காவது படம் 'எனிமி'. ஹிட் படம் கொடுத்தே ஆக வேண்டும் என்ற முனைப்பில் ஆனந்த் ஷங்கரும், விஷாலும் இணைந்து சொல்லி அடித்திருக்கிறார்கள்.

'இரும்புத்திரை'க்குப் பிறகு கச்சிதமான திரைக்கதை கொண்ட தரமான திரைப்படத்தில் விஷால் நடித்துள்ளார். அப்பாவின் கட்டளைக்குப் பணிவது, பிரச்சினையில் இருப்பது யாராக இருந்தாலும் தன்னால் முடிந்த உதவியைப் பிரதிபலன் பாராமல் செய்வது, பிரச்சினையின் வீரியம் கண்டு பொங்கி எழுவது என நாயக அம்சத்தைத் தாங்கிப் பிடிக்கிறார். வழக்கமான கமர்ஷியல் சினிமாக்களில் சம்பந்தமே இல்லாமல் நடிப்பதற்கு பதில் இதுபோன்ற கான்செப்ட் சினிமாக்களில் நடிப்பது விஷாலுக்கு நலம் பயக்கும். பலனும் கிடைக்கும். தொடர்ந்து இதே பாதையில் அவர் நம்பிக்கையுடன் பயணிக்கலாம்.

விஷாலுக்கு இணையான, இம்மி அளவும் குறையாத பலத்துடன் ஆர்யா பின்னி எடுத்துள்ளார். ஆக்‌ஷன் காட்சிகளில் சரிக்கு சமமாகப் போட்டி போட்டு இருவரும் நடித்துள்ளனர். எதிர் நாயகன் என்றாலும் குன்றாமல் குறையாமல் மிகை இல்லாமல் இயல்பாக நடித்து அப்ளாஸ் அள்ளுகிறார் ஆர்யா.

மிர்ணாளினி ரவிக்குப் படத்தில் பெரிய வேலை இல்லை. திரைக்கதைக்கு அவர் தேவையும் படவில்லை. விஷாலுக்குப் பொருத்தமான ஜோடியாகவும் இல்லை. சம்பிரதாய நாயகியாக சில காட்சிகள், ஒரு பாடல் என்று வந்துபோகிறார். கருணாகரன் உறுதுணைக் கதாபாத்திரத்தில் நன்றாகப் பங்களித்துள்ளார். கொஞ்ச நேரமே வந்தாலும் பிரகாஷ்ராஜின் நடிப்பு படத்துக்கு பலம் சேர்க்கிறது. இந்தப் படத்திலும் தம்பி ராமையா மிகச் சிறந்த நடிப்பை வழங்கியுள்ளார். மாளவிகா அவினாஷ், ஜார்ஜ் மரியான், மாரிமுத்து, மம்தா மோகன்தாஸ், ஜான் விஜய் ஆகியோர் கதாபாத்திரத்தின் நோக்கத்தை நிறைவேற்றுகிறார்கள்.

ஆர்.டி.ராஜசேகரின் ஒளிப்பதிவு தொழில்நுட்ப ரீதியில் படத்தை வேற லெவலுக்குக் கொண்டுபோகிறது. தமன் இசையில் அறிமுகப் பாடலைத் தவிர மற்ற இரு பாடல்களைக் கத்தரித்திருக்கலாம். அவை தேவையில்லாத ஆணிகள். சாம் சி.எஸ். பின்னணி இசை கதையோட்டத்துடன் சரியாகப் பொருந்திப் போகிறது. ரேமண்டின் எடிட்டிங்கில் நேர்த்தி பளிச்சிடுகிறது.

''வலியைப் பழகிக்கிட்டாதான் ஜெயிக்க முடியும்... அவனோட எதிரிகளுக்கு வலியைத் திருப்பிக் கொடுக்க முடியும்'', ''தோத்தா பரிசு கிடைக்கும்னு தெரிஞ்சா ஜெயிக்குற எண்ணம் குறைஞ்சிடும்'' போன்ற ஷான் கருப்புசாமியின் வசனங்கள் படத்துக்கு வலு சேர்க்கின்றன.

படத்தின் மிக பலமான அம்சம் திரைக்கதைதான். ஆனந்த் ஷங்கர், ஷான் கருப்புசாமி, எஸ்.ராமகிருஷ்ணன் ஆகிய மூவரின் பங்களிப்பும் பாராட்டத்தக்கது. இரு குழந்தைகள் வளரும் விதம், சூதாட்டத்துக்கு அடிமையான மாமா, போலீஸ் பயிற்சியை இறுதிவரை கைவிடாத இளைஞன், பாஸ்போர்ட்டுகளை மீட்டுக் கொடுக்கும் விதம், அந்நிய நாட்டு சதி, ஆர்யாவின் மனைவி குறித்த பின்னணி என ஸ்கெட்ச் போட்டு திரைக்கதை எழுதி ரசிக்க வைத்துள்ளனர். படத்துக்குத் தேவையில்லாத அம்சம் எதுவும் இல்லாததே ஆறுதல்.

திடீரென்று ராஜீவ் அந்தத் தவறைச் செய்ய என்ன காரணம் என்பது சொல்லப்பட்டாலும் அது மட்டும் ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளும்படி இல்லை. அதைத் தவிர்த்துப் பார்த்தால் 'எனிமி' தரமான சினிமாவாக ஈர்க்கிறது.

ஆக்சன் கிரைம் திரில்லரில் மிரட்டும் விஷால் - ஆர்யா காம்போ… எனிமி படம் எப்படி இருக்கு?

Vishal and arya’s action - crime - thriller enemy movie review in tamil: அவன் இவன் படத்திற்கு பிறகு இணைத்துள்ள விஷால் - ஆர்யா காம்போ நடிப்பு, ஆக்சன் என அனைத்திலும் போட்டி போட்டு நடித்து அசத்தியுள்ளது..

Enemy Movie tamil Review:  தமிழ் சினிமாவில் நல்ல நண்பர்கள் பரம எதிரிகளாக மாறும் எத்தனையோ படம் வந்திருந்தாலும் 'எனிமி' ஒரு வித்தியமான கதைக்களத்துடன் களமிறங்கியுள்ளது. ஆக்சன் கிரைம் திரில்லர் பாணியில் மிரட்டியுள்ள இந்தப் படத்தில் தம்பி ராமையாவின் மகனாக விஷாலும், பிரகாஷ் ராஜின் மகனாக ஆர்யாவும் தோன்றுகிறார்கள். இருவரும் சிறுவயது முதலே நல்ல நண்பர்களாக இருக்கின்றனர். இருவரின் வீடும் அருகருகே இருப்பதால் நட்பில் பிணைப்பு அதிகரிக்கிறது.

படத்தில் முன்னாள் சிபிஐ அதிகாரியாக வரும் ஆர்யாவின் தந்தை பிரகாஷ் ராஜ் இருவரையும் சிறந்த அதிராகரிகளாக மாற்ற வலுவான பயிற்சி கொடுக்கிறார். துரதிஷ்டவசமாக பிரகாஷ் ராஜ் திடீரென கொலை செய்யப்படுகிறார். எனவே நண்பர்கள் பிரியும் சூழல் ஏற்படுகிறது.

காலச்சக்கரம் சுழலுகையில் விஷால் (சோழன்) சிங்கப்பூரில் ஒரு சூப்பர் மார்க்கெட் நடத்தி வருகிறார். அந்த பகுதியில் வசிக்கும் தமிழ் சமூக மக்களின் நன்மைக்காகவும் விஷால் உதவுகிறார். இந்த நேரத்தில் தான் மினிஸ்டர் ஒருவரை கொலை செய்யும் முயற்சி நடக்கிறது. அதை விஷால் கச்சிதமாக தடுக்கிறார்.

கொலை முயற்சியில் ஈடுபட்டது ஆர்யா தான் என்று விஷாலுக்கு பிறகு தான் தெரிய வருகிறது. இந்த கொலை முயற்சியில் ஆர்யா ஏன் ஈடுபட்டார்? பிரகாஷ் ராஜ் ஏன் கொலை செய்யப்பட்டார்? எதிரிகளாக மாறிய நண்பர்கள் இறுதியில் இணைந்தார்களாக? என்கிற கேள்விகளுக்கு விடையளித்து மீதிக்கதையை திருப்தியுடன் அளித்திருக்கிறார் இயக்குநர்.

படம் ஆக்சன் கிரைம் திரில்லர் என்பதால் அவற்றுக்கு பஞ்சமில்லாமல் கதை நகர்கிறது. குறிப்பாக கிளைமேக்சில் நடக்கும் ஆக்சன் சீன் 'வேற லெவல்' என்கிற அளவிற்கு திறம்பட எடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. நாயகியாக அஷ்மிதாவாக வரும் மிர்ணாளினி ரவி பாத்திரத்திற்கு நியாயம் செய்துள்ளார். மூத்த நடிகர்கள் பிரகாஷ் ராஜ், தம்பி ராமையா தங்களது அனுபவ நடிப்பை வெளிப்படுத்தியுள்ளனர்.

அவன் இவன் படத்திற்கு பிறகு இணைத்துள்ள விஷால் - ஆர்யா காம்போ இம்முறையும் பெரும்பாண்மையான ரசிகர்களின் கவனம் ஈர்த்துள்ளது. நடிப்பு, ஆக்சன் என அனைத்திலும் இருவரும் போட்டி போட்டு நடித்து அசத்தியுள்ளனர். குறிப்பாக ஆக்‌ஷன் காட்சிகளில் இருவரும் அடித்து நொறுக்கியுள்ளனர்.

அரிமா நம்பி, நோட்டா, இருமுகன் போன்ற படங்களை இயக்கிய ஆனந்த் சங்கர் அவரது பாணியிலே எமியையும் உருவாக்கியுள்ளார். முன்னணி நடிகர்களுக்கு சம அளவு திரைவெளிச்சம் கொடுத்து திரைக்கதையில் சுவாரஸ்யத்தை ஏற்படுத்தி இருக்கிறார். படத்தின் பலமே அவரின் திரைக்கதைதான் எனும் அளவிற்கு ரசிகர்கள் எனிமியை கொண்டாடுகிறார்கள்.

தமனின் இசை கதையை நகர்த்துவதில் உதவுகிறது. சாம்.சி.எஸ்-ன் பின்னணி இசை கதைக்கு விறுவிறுப்பை கொடுத்து, தியேட்டரில் இருந்து வெளிவந்த பிறகும் மனதில் ஓடுகிறது. ஆர்.டி.ராஜசேகரின் ஒளிப்பதிவு கண்களுக்கு விருந்தளிக்கிறது. மொத்தத்தில் இந்த தீபாவளியை எனிமி தீபாவளியாக மாற்றியுள்ளது.

Enemy Movie Review: A no-frills action thriller that strikes the right emotional chords

Rating: ( 3 / 5).

Enemy is not only a film with lots of weaponry, but also one that takes a different type of gun—the Chekhov's gun—quite seriously. There’s quite a bit of evident foreshadowing as well. A dialogue like, "Naan un rani-a thookiten parthiya?" is followed by a shot of a girl close to one of the leads getting kidnapped. A shot that lingers on a digital board, is later followed by the villain hacking into it. Does all the familiarising get us excited throughout the film? The results are varied. You go ‘wow’, but you also go ‘meh’.

Cast: Vishal, Arya, Mirnalini Ravi, Mamta Mohandas

Director: Anand Shankar

Where the film excels in though, is with the emotions. Though we are puzzled about how the leads, Chozhan (Vishal) and Rajiv (Arya), orchestrate missions and evade the law enforcement—like every other action film—it is the 'why' that is of interest. Both men in the film are aware that they can't inflict pain on each other physically, and so, they aim for each other's hearts. Though this isn't an entirely novel idea on the silver screen, the way Anand Shankar builds everything on top of a solid backstory, involving Prakash Raj and the two kids, makes for interesting cinema.  

Some may be slightly confused by terms like heat-radiating paints, photographic memory and remote-controlled pacemakers, but if you enjoy these gadgets and the novelty, you are guaranteed a fun ride in this film that is full of such concepts. Though the film doesn't quite outwit the audience with reveals, it keeps trying. Excluding the overlong video call episode of Arya, the film steadily throws you something new to be invested in.

While logic can take a backseat in such action affairs, it does get disconcerting when some basic questions don’t seem to get answered. "Why didn't the leads choose to settle their score by combat when they met for the first time as adults?" "How did one of the leads walk away scot-free, after killing a foreign minister?" "How did Mamta's Anisha guard her identity for decades, while having an obvious surname?"

For these reasons and more, the film isn't Vishal's career-best, but the actor is very much back to form, after some mellow outings recently. The dancing reminds you of his Chellame days, and he looks the part as the alpha male, excelling in action sequences and looking at home with the performance as well. I found it a tad strange that the character seemed to, for some reason, show high levels of concern for Non-Resident Tamils. It is a part of the narrative, sure, but the treatment feels like an advertorial aimed to project the actor as a saviour.

Arya as an actor has the gift of a disarming smile, it’s one that can conceal kind intentions or black malice. It’s hard to truly predict what's underneath until he chooses to reveal it. And this comes in extremely handy for his character, Rajiv, in Enemy . Though Vishal holds an upper hand in action, Arya charms with his style. His 'I have seen everything' attitude in the film explains what Rajiv could have potentially gone on to become such a cold person.

In many action-thrillers, the customary love track and songs come through as speed breakers, but even these elements are quite enjoyable, in the context of this film being a festival release. The sequences are written not to dilute the essence of the main plot.

Enemy is a simple, yet refreshing action thriller, that is self-aware of its potential and refrains from biting more than it can chew. Even the social message towards the end is subtle. Sometimes, it’s better not to aspire for the skies, and pick a level that’s reachable. It’s why Enemy feels like such an efficient film.

Enemy Movie Review (2021)

Vishal - arya starrer enemy tamil movie review - film directed by anand shankar.

Enemy Movie Cast & Crew

Vishal and Arya's multi-starrer film, Enemy has hit the screens amidst a fairly good anticipation among the film buffs. Directed by Anand Shankar, this film features Mirnalini Ravi as the female lead and Prakash Raj, Mamta Mohandas, and Thambi Ramaiah in supporting roles. Here is what Enemy is all about. 

STORY:  Enemy traces the story of two childhood friends, who turn foes due to one's ego and jealousy. Chozhan (Vishal) and Rajiv (Arya), in their early teens, are trained by Rajiv's father, an ex-CBI officer (Prakash Raj) to make them join the Police. But, certain situations make them part ways and years later, Chozhan becomes a departmental store owner and Rajiv becomes an underground hitman. Fate brings them together once again and they decide to lock horns against each other. What was the conflict between them and who won the face-off forms the plot of Enemy.   

SCREENPLAY, DIALOGUES, & DIRECTION:  Enemy has a good premise and when the basement is quite strong, you are bound to be invested in seeing what the film has in store. The idea is definitely interesting and is worthy of being made as a film. Director Anand Shankar builds up the film with several interesting elements which makes the first half fairly engaging, setting up a solid groundwork for the faceoff. However, in the second half, the cat and mouse game isn't packed with solid moments to hold your attention. You pretty much know how Arya's character is going to react to a situation and how Vishal's character will respond. This is where the screenplay faces issues and as a result, the film becomes a mixed bag.

Had the second half been packaged in an engaging fashion with exciting moments, the final product would have been better. With a seamless writing and engaging second half, Enemy would have been a solid action drama. Arya's character had the potential to become an iconic villain on the lines of Siddharth Abhimanyu of Thani Oruvan, but due to a cliched writing and predictable characterization, his actions don't look threatening. Leaving aside these shortcomings, if you are a fan of stylish action entertainers, Enemy could turn out to be a good watch.  

CAST:  Vishal is quite impressive as Chozhan and he delivers a fine performance. Action being his forte, the star actor is effective. Arya looks menacing and smart as Rajiv and, it is good to see him on the other side of the play. However, in the emotional scenes, Arya's performance lacks completeness. Prakash Raj, despite appearing in a short role, leaves his mark with measured performance. Thambi Ramaiah as an innocent father does justice to his character. Mirnalini Ravi looks pretty on screen, but, coming to the acting part, she isn't given any responsibilities as she just appears in a brief number of scenes.  

TECHNICAL:   Thaman's songs do not have his trademark touch. Sam CS' pulsating score complements the film's subject and it helps in adding energy to the scenes. RD Rajasekhar's cinematography looks solid making the film look neat and rich in terms of visual quality. Raymond Derrick Crasta's racy cuts work in favor of the film.  

SO?   A film like Enemy needed a strong writing with a highly engaging second half!

Verdict Vishal and Arya hold this middling action-drama to a decent level!

Galatta Rating: ( 2.5 /5.0 )

When was Enemy's released?

Who will star in enemy, who is the director of enemy, who is the cinematographer of enemy, who is the editor of enemy, what is genre of enemy.

1996: In Ooty, Chozhan Ramalingam and Rajiv Paarirajan are two friends who are trained by Paarirajan, Rajiv's father who is an ex-CBI officer. He enables them to join the police force. Although given equal training, Chozhan appears to best out Rajiv, causing the latter to turn jealous of the former. One day, Chozhan and Rajiv are playing chess in which Rajiv wins. While Rajiv leaves Chozhan pondering over the outcome, he sees Paarirajan dead on the floor. The boys are escorted to the police station and although Chozhan tells the inspector and Ramalingam, Chozhan's risk-averse father, that he can bust the killer using his skills, Ramalingam takes Chozhan away, leaving Rajiv alone.

2021: Chozhan becomes a departmental store owner, run by Ramalingam in Singapore. However, he has now evolved into a part-time vigilante and secretly thwarts minor crimes and corruption to help the Tamil community, One day, a gas company near his store suddenly bursts, which kills 11 Tamil people and severely injures five more. Chozhan nabs Joseph, the painter, who is behind the mess and hand him over to the police. The next day, the Indian External Affairs minister, who comes to Singapore to address the Tamil people struggles to speak at the gathering and Chozhan immediately senses that her artificial cardiac pacemaker had been tampered with, and shoots to save her.

Chozhan is caught by the police but is later released after they realized that he saved her. As soon as Chozhan tips off the police, they capture the culprit at a hotel revealed to be Rajiv, who is now a hardened assassin, who was hired by the Beijing corporate businessman to kill the External affairs minister. However, Rajiv escapes by threatening the policemen by killing their families. Chozhan meets up with Rajiv, who reveals the incident that happened on the day they separated: Rajiv was confronted by Paarirajan who berated him for misusing his skills to loot some money, which made Rajiv kill his father. He also overheard him saying that Chozhan would eventually overshadow Rajiv in anything, thus inciting him to develop a permanent deep hatred for Chozhan.

Upon hearing this, Chozhan warns that he would pay for his mistakes. Instead, Rajiv argues that he has evolved and grown in multiple ways and is way too advanced for Chozhan to intercept, while challenging him to rescue one of his close ones that he would soon kidnap. Chozhan calls everyone for a surprise engagement with Ashvitha. He did this to make sure his loved ones are always with him so none of them get kidnapped by Rajiv. At his engagement with Ashvitha, Chozhan realizes that his cousin's daughter, Pinky has gone missing from her school excursion. Soon, Rajiv contacts him and informs him that he kidnapped Pinky from her school to kill her, but Chozhan responds by abducting Rajiv's pregnant wife Anisha. Chozhan threatens to kill Anisha if anything happens to Pinky.

Chozhan and Rajiv meet in order to exchange their kins. As Rajiv releases Pinky over to Chozhan, Chozhan says that he would not let go of this issue easily. He makes a deal with Rajiv: he will safely transport Anisha back to India if Rajiv surrenders to the police for the deaths of the 11 people. Rajiv agrees reluctantly and surrenders himself. As Chozhan transports Anisha to the airport, The hitman, who was sent by Beijing businessman to kill Rajiv learns about Anisha's connection to Rajiv, where he follows and slits her throat in the washroom. In prison, Rajiv finds out about Anisha's death on TV and is anguished. He thinks Chozhan had broken his deal and escapes the prison, by swallowing prawns making him choke and allergies. He plots against Chozhan by kidnapping the children of his area and addresses the community that in order to save their children, Ramalingam must die.

Rajiv attempts to brainwash someone into shooting Ramalingam to ensure the safety of their children. No one does so, so Rajiv extorts Ramalingam alone to commit suicide by drinking rat poison. In the meantime, Chozhan saves the children. When Chozhan returns to his community with the children, Ramalingam dies, not before telling Chozhan to finish Rajiv. Chozhan confronts Rajiv inside a skyscraper and after an intense combat, Chozhan kicks Rajiv off the building and grabs him by his leg. In the end, he divulges that he wasn't Anisha's murderer and the Beijing corporates were behind it. Rajiv gets shocked after knowing the truth and tries to convince Chozhan to pull him up, but Chozhan drops him off the building leading to his death. Several years later, Chozhan takes his son and lays flowers on his father's grave, and also on Rajiv's grave.

‘Enemy’ movie review: A convoluted cat-and-mouse action drama

Anand shankar’s film, after an elaborate and promising start, fizzles out after its leading men are introduced.

Updated - November 09, 2021 11:01 am IST

Published - November 04, 2021 05:30 pm IST

Vishal and Arya in ‘Enemy’

The first half hour of Enemy , directed by Anand Shankar, has a promising prologue. It reminded me of Ullasam as it involves two fathers and their respective schoolgoing sons.

Ramalingam (played by Thambi Ramiah) is so cautious about his son, Chozha, that he puts the coconut inside a small sackcloth bag before breaking it in a temple, lest a piece of shell pierces his son's eye. His mockers even give him the moniker 'Risk' Ramalingam. His risk-averseness is not merely a gimmick. Anand, who has also written the film, provides a solid reason for why he is the way he is.

Meanwhile, Ramalingam's newly moved in neighbour, Paari (Prakash Raj), is a retired cop who has overcome assassination attempts and suffered bullet injuries. Paari wants his son, Rajeev, to be strong, bold and brilliant and thus trains him to be a cop. The training includes solving 4 by 4 cubes, low-plank-crawls under an obstacle and other exercises. When young Rajeev complains of pain during the plank crawl, Paari adds more weight on his back. "You should learn to endure pain. Only then can you overcome your enemies," he tells his son.

Chozha, meanwhile, imbibes Paari's lessons secretly from next door. He even flicks one of the many cubes and solves it overnight. Ramalingam because he wants his son to stay away from risks. And, Rajeev, because Chozha is better than him. He dislikes Paari praising him more.

Anand takes about half an hour for this setup, even if it delays the introduction of the stars — Vishal and Arya. The writing is layered too. It is the story of two single fathers wanting their sons to be like themselves. There is also jealously brewing within Rajeev because his father appreciates Chozha more than him. At this point, a mysterious murder separates the two boys.

• Cast: Vishal, Arya, Thambi Ramaiah, Prakash Raj, Mamta Mohandas, and more
• Director: Anand Shankar
• Storyline: How jealousy turns a boyhood competition into a life-and-death rivalry

This was a solid setup for a cat-and-mouse game between Chozha and Rajeev (at least that is what the trailer and the title promised).

But, like a Deepavali firecracker that sparks for a long time, raising our anticipation, only to fizzle out, the film starts to fumble after this promising build-up.

Anand manages to keep us guessing on a few occasions. For instance, just as we predict the film to be a game of oneupmanship between a cop and a thief, we are proven wrong.

But soon after the main stars of Enemy , Vishal and Arya, appear on screen, the film starts its descent. By now, Vishal looks after a supermarket in Singapore with his father. But he is also proficient in hacking, superb in hand-to-hand combat, and is an excellent marksman. If the Avengers were recruiting in Singapore, he would have been a frontrunner.

Arya, meanwhile, has become one of the world's deadliest assassins. Despite the muscles, Arya lacks the menace of a deadly assassin. Even when he threatens to kill a bunch of children, he evokes neither fear nor anger. The women in the movie, Mamta Mohandas and Mirnalini Ravi, hardly have anything to do.

The writing also slackens after the setup. Anand brings into the plot the problems of Tamil migrants and Indo-China politics for reasons little known to us.

Despite the implications of protagonists being geniuses, none of their acts to outdo each other is particularly clever. Maybe that is why, in the end, they abandon brains for brawn and settle their scores over a bloody brawl.

Enemy Movie Review

If you’re looking out for the storyline of Anand Shankar’s ENEMY starring Vishal and Arya in the lead roles, it’s very much noticeable in the trailer, where we come across couple of friends (played by Vishal and Arya), who turn into foes later. So what’s actually propelling the cat and mouse game between them? That’s the plot of Enemy directed by Anand Shankar, director of movies like Arima Nambi and Iru Mugan. While Irumugan might have witnessed mixed response, there’s something unique about Arima Nambi as the screenplay was excellent. In particular, not all Tamil thrillers start on a high-octane note and Anand Shankar kept us engrossed with the gripping edge-of-seat first half in that movie. Similarly, he endows audiences with a high-end raciness in the first hour of Enemy. Disappointingly, much similar to Arima Nambi, the second half gets scattered directionless.

Be it another release of this festive occasion or Enemy, our Tamil filmmakers have now brought forth an unwanted challenge upon themselves – To impress the Telugu audiences. This lets us put forward a humble request to them – Please make movies for Tamil audiences and don’t step out of our zone. This doesn’t mean not to make a movie outside Indian backdrops, but the ingredients and treatment. Enemy doesn’t demand for songs, but still, the intention of roping in SS Thaman is clearly blatant, which is to impress the neighboring region. The songs in turn become the main hampering gripping screenplay. On the other hand, the writing too gets weak after 30 minutes from the title credits. The cat-and-mouse game is appreciable and the climax is the peak of Anand Shankar’s creative spell, but still, a couple more engrossing sequence would have made a good impact.

Vishal and Arya have never missed to score brownie points when they are given substantial characters. This movie is no exception for them as they have lived their roles to the fullest. In particular, the action block sequences are extremely excellent. They have come up with their best in the emotional scenes as well. Their performances in the climax scene are excellent. Mrinalini Ravi and Mamta Mohandas have done their roles neatly. Prakash Raj and Thambi Ramaiah are good. RD Rajashekar as usual enthralls us with his top-notch cinematography, especially the climax scene. The songs by Thaman and BGM by Sam CS are just average.

If Anand Shankar had crafted a gripping narrative writing, Enemy would have been a stupendous entertainer. For now, it’s a watchable movie, especially for the ones, who aren’t much used to Hollywood and International thriller genre movies.

Verdict: Despite outstanding performances by Vishal-Arya and a decent plot, the screenplay hampers the intensity in many places.

Enemy Movie Review: This Vishal-Arya Action-Film Is Formulaic, Rudimentary, Predictable And Pretty Fun

Director: Anand Shankar Cast: Vishal, Arya, Thambi Ramaiah, Prakash Raj, Mamta Mohandas, Mrinalini Ravi, Karunakaran Language: Tamil

If you're seen any of Anand Shankar's previous work, especially his debut Arima Nambi and sophomore effort Iru Mugan , you would have specific and somewhat subdued expectations from his recent outing Enemy . If you do, you might just return satisfied.

Enemy is the story of Chozhan (Vishal), a departmental store owner by day and maverick vigilante do-gooder by night. The film spends over 30 minutes establishing his childhood, his father's (Thambi Ramaiah) risk-averse nature, his relationship with retired CBI officer neighbour Paari (Prakash Raj) and his son Rajiv (Arya). These parts are rudimentary. It moves fast, and in annotated milestones. 

Sometimes, the annotations are insulting. For instance, to test the "photographic memory" skills of Chozhan and Rajiv, Paari asks a policeman to pretend to be a pickpocket. This police officer, on arrival promptly salutes Paari, stomping his feet on the ground and all, before asking, "how is my civilian clothes, sir?" Paari could have simply laughed this idiocy off. But no. Enemy is the kind of film that forces a dialogue that the get up is fine, but the over-enthusiastic salute is not, an explanation so stale that Prakash Raj himself was part of one such scene in Anniyan over 15 years ago.

Thankfully, the film moves to the present day and to a zone where writer-director Anand Shankar finds himself more comfortable in: Action. Vishal gets a loud, traditionally-mass intro, standing on top of Singapore high-rises, jumping through glass walls, breaking high-security safes and feeding people biriyani for good measure. Cinematographer R. D. Rajasekhar makes the action sequences, with tall glass buildings, colourful night clubs, big cranes, highway chases and what not, perfectly engaging, even if not entirely innovative. 

That's all there is to the film, though. The half-interesting butterfly effect-inspired trick — of setting up an apparently unrelated incident to change the course of action for something more sensitive — is rehashed so often, it feels ordinary. The boardroom discussions among Chinese businessmen about killing the Indian foreign minister is almost worse than its 7 Aum Arivu counterpart. When one Indian businessman suggests that they resort to murder, a Chinese businessman responds with "wait, we need to put this decision to vote!" There must be a joke somewhere there about democracy, China and crime.

After introducing Rajiv, the film stops taking any interest in suspense and resorts entirely to action. As a result, a lot of clues fall into Chozhan's lap. At one point, a child traces fluorescent tire marks to solve a crime! Chozhan just taps on laptops and finds dark-web account details of an assassin — code name: bounty hunter — who has been paid in bitcoins. They keep talking about the sophisticated nature of a wanted criminal who is never even known to have committed a crime. But on screen, you see Chozhan just trip and fall into clues!

Soon, the film gets highly predictable. So much so that the gentleman next to me in the theatre couldn't stop himself from predicting what'll happen next despite my stern glances. There is little that we haven't already seen. The film doesn't do much to hide its plot points either. But to Anand Shankar's credit, he uses this predictability to fuel anticipation. For instance, we know that Chozhan is going to show up to save the kidnapped kids, but we can hardly wait (or is it just me?). 

Mrinalini Ravi, as Chozhan's love interest, gets 1-2 tangential scenes and duet songs, in which she does the bare minimum. Mamta Mohandas, as Anisha, Rajiv's love interest, gets more screen space and has immense potential, to say nothing of how stunning she looks. But the film squanders it by fashioning her as your ordinary damsel in distress. Enemy doesn't know how to write its women at all — sexual violence, pregnancy, motherhood and needing-to-be-saved is all it can think of (even as a revolutionary dead mother is referred to a couple of times)!

Nor is it sure how to treat its audience. Karunakaran, who plays Vishal's friend, is the voice of the viewer. The hero is expected to explain his grand plans to him, so we lesser beings can understand what he intends. But, most often, his character ends up being the irritating idiot who only prolongs the scene unnecessarily. Enemy also tries to milk the Tamil diaspora sentiment, and fails miserably. There is nothing in the film to substantiate the jingoism, but hey, every film needs a cause, right!

Vishal as Chozhan is adequate. His best parts are the stunts. He is believable as the guy who makes those huge jumps and heavy punches. His weakest moments are emotional scenes and dance sequences. At one point, his discomfort transfers to the audience through the screen. Arya, for his part, gives him a tough fight at being terrible at emotional scenes. Their lack is over-compensated by Sam CS's background score.

The least effective part about Enemy is how it fashions itself as a high-concept film. "Anger is blinding you," "you were always egoistic" and "you're emotionally unstable" are thrown around to explain to us the actions of the hero and the villain. But on screen, they are rather lame. In the climax, this interaction between the two people in the middle of a grandly executed fight is laughable.

Yet, as a mass masala film, Enemy entertains. It keeps the momentum going and comes to a reasonable end. In a way, Enemy is like Vishal's dance — full-bodied, hard-working, energetic, confident, but entirely devoid of knack for the art. That doesn't make it unwatchable though.

Enemy (U/A) 04/Nov/2021 Action, Drama

Critics Review

A predictable tiff taking place in a comfort zone.

The major part of the film is set in Singapore but it almost feels like it is set in a fantasy city that seems to revolve around only the characters the writer decided to feature. This restricted scope makes you question the various loopholes the story casually offers every now & then. The film lacks intelligence in writing and eventually takes the viewers' intelligence for granted (more)

Vishal and Arya keep locking horns in this trite action drama, but we don't care why

There are a lot of questions you might get watching Enemy. The answer always is: He is the hero. For example, Chozhan runs a supermarket. How did he get the necessary equipment to break into a building Mission Impossible style? Answer: Chozhan is the hero, he can do anything! He can get planes to wait for him like it is a bus. He can get cranes to come from nowhere. How did Chozhan find out about Rajiv's personal life, something the latter has hidden from the entire world? In this universe, police are mere gun dispensaries for both Chozhan and Rajiv. But obviously, one should not question all this. It is the experience that 70 years of Tamizh cinema has trained us for.

Verdict Vishal and Arya hold this middling action-drama to a decent level

Director Anand Shankar builds up the film with several interesting elements which makes the first half fairly engaging, setting up a solid groundwork for the faceoff. However, in the second half, the cat and mouse game isn't packed with solid moments to hold your attention. You pretty much know how Arya's character is going to react to a situation and how Vishal's character will respond. This is where the screenplay faces issues and as a result, the film becomes a mixed bag. (more)

Neatly written action thriller

Director Anand Shankar establishes the core plot of the film in the initial twenty-five minutes. The writing is solid and organic in these portions. We can relate with all the main characters of Enemy from the word go! The two kids who have acted as the young Vishal and Arya are good. Vishal looks earnest in Enemy and shines as Cholan, an obedient son yet a risk-taker for the Tamil community. As usual, his tall physique helps him with the action episodes. Arya looks bright and powerful in the author-backed Rajiv, he effortlessly carries the film on his shoulder as the main antagonist. Mamta Mohandas's role is yet another sweet surprise in the film. Veterans Prakash Raj and Thambi Ramaiah are perfect. (more)

Vishal and Arya's performances and action scenes keeps Enemy engaging.

The film's screenplay suffers from predictability but still ends up engaging us. Some of the scenes in the first half look out of place but have relevance towards the end. But since they are out of place, they look forced, and we know that they are going to reappear as references in the second half. Although the film looks like it's intelligently written on the surface level, when you go deeper, the flaws are glaring. (more)

A convoluted cat-and-mouse action drama

Like a Deepavali firecracker that sparks for a long time, raising our anticipation, only to fizzle out, the film starts to fumble after this promising build-up. Anand manages to keep us guessing on a few occasions. For instance, just as we predict the film to be a game of oneupmanship between a cop and a thief, we are proven wrong. (more)

Source: Praveen Sudeevan, The Hindu

Vishal and Arya star in a watchable thriller that is not boring

The ideology behind the film on how a child grows up to be a good or bad person looks interesting on paper, but the way these contradictions have been translated on screen through the situations in the latter half looks bleak. If the build up to this idea had been fresh, this thriller could have gone a mile further and worked well. (more)

Enemy movie review: Vishal and Arya keep locking horns in this trite action drama, but we don't care why

For a film that is mounted on a rivalry, the equation between the two lead characters is pretty shallow and one-dimensional.

Language: Tamil

In the final few minutes of Anand Shankar’s Enemy, Chozhan (Vishal) asks his son about his desires. The boy thinks for a second and then says something close “ I want to fight like Batman, be funny like Shin Chan, and act like Kick Buttowski… etc”. It made me wonder if this eclectic combination was the actual inspiration for Enemy .

Starring Vishal and Arya in lead roles, Anand Shankar’s  Enemy  is a trite, formulaic action drama that laughs at logic and people who expect the same.

Chozhan (Vishal) has a dull childhood, thanks to his ‘Risk Ramalingam’ (Thambi Ramaiah). For Ramalingam, everything is a risk. And this meant that Chozhan had to stick fastidiously to his ‘home-school-home’ routine. Enter Rajiv (Arya) and his father Paari (Prakash Raj), who move to Ooty and become Chozhan’s neighbours. Paari, an ex-CBI officer, decides that his son should become a police officer, and trains him for the same. Chozhan, who is intrigued by what Rajiv does, eventually joins him. Chozhan turns out to be better than Rajiv is, much to the latter’s jealousy. But one day, Pari gets killed. To avoid complications for his family, Ramalingam moves to Singapore. The frenemies grow apart only to meet under very different circumstances 25 years later.

There are a lot of questions you might get watching  Enemy.  The answer always is: He is the hero. For example, Chozhan runs a supermarket. How did he get the necessary equipment to break into a building  Mission Impossible  style? Answer: Chozhan is the hero, he can do anything! He can get planes to wait for him like it is a bus. He can get cranes to come from nowhere. How did Chozhan find out about Rajiv’s personal life, something the latter has hidden from the entire world? In this universe, police are mere gun dispensaries for both Chozhan and Rajiv. But obviously, one should not question all this. It is the experience that 70 years of Tamizh cinema has trained us for.

This makes it obvious that women will not have much to do in the film.

For a film that is mounted on a rivalry, the equation between Chozhan and Rajiv is pretty shallow and one-dimensional.

And Rajiv, like any other villain in Tamil cinema, oscillates between being the best to the daft.One minute, he is the Interpol-wanted assassin. Another minute, he is squabbling with Chozhan over the Five Star chocolates he lost to him in their childhood. To Arya’s credit, he holds this character better than its writing does.

Not that the rest of the film is better. The emotional beats are all over the place. Major decisions are thrown at us with little to no context. There is a Chinese enemy. There is a lot of talk about Tamil  makkal  and community. None of this leads anywhere. The writing is so clunky that information keeps getting repeated. In this film, it is even okay for a dead man to blink in the background because, hey… look how shiny and sleek our film looks!

A running gag in the film is how Ramalingam reacts to ‘risky situations.’ He is so averse to risk that he breaks a coconut by putting it into a bag. This way, the shards cannot hurt him. And I kept wondering what he would have said if someone had asked him to watch  Enemy . The Tamil Nadu government recently increased theatre occupancy to 100 percent. The entire city of Chennai is covered with smog like never before. Nevertheless, the riskier thing to do would be to watch  Enemy  with expectations of logic.

Enemy is available in cinemas.   Rating: **

Under the Mini Studios name, Anand Shankar and Vinod Kumar are the directors and producers of the 2021 Indian action thriller film Enemy, which is produced in Tamil.

Vishal and Arya play the main roles in the movie, with supporting performances coming from Mirnalini Ravi, Mamta Mohandas, Prakash Raj, Thambi Ramaiah, and Karunakaran. This is Vishal and Arya’s second film together, following Avan Ivan (2011). When Enemy debuted on November 4, 2021, it received a mixed response from reviewers and performed mediocrely at the box office.

1996: Parirajan, Rajiv’s father, trains his two buddies, Chozhan Ramalingam and Rajiv Parirajan, in Ooty. He gives them permission to become police officers. Despite having the same training, Chozhan seems to outperform Rajiv, making the latter envious of the former. When Rajiv and Chozhan play chess one day, Rajiv prevails.

Rajiv discovers Parirajan dead on the ground as he departs Chozhan, who is contemplating the result. As the boys are taken to the police station by the police, Chozhan informs the inspector and his risk-averse father, Ramalingam, that he can use his expertise to catch the perpetrator. Chozhan is taken away by Ramalingam, leaving Rajiv by himself.

2021: Chozhan acquires a department store in Singapore that Ramalingam owns and operates. But today, in an effort to support the Tamil community, he has transformed into a part-time vigilante who works covertly to stop corruption and small-time crimes.

One day, a gas company next to his store blows up without warning, killing 11 Tamils and seriously hurting five more. Joseph, the painter, is apprehended by Chozhan behind the mess and given over to the police.

The Indian minister of external affairs, Arundathi Mohan, arrives in Singapore the following day to address the Tamil community, but she finds it difficult to speak at the event. As soon as Chozhan realizes that someone has interfered with her implanted heart pacemaker, she attempts to save her.

Chozhan is apprehended by the police, but they later let him go when they realize he saved her. Chozhan gives the police a tip, and they apprehend the offender in a motel. The Beijing-based multinational billionaire hired Rajiv, a seasoned assassin, to kill India’s minister of external affairs.

Rajiv, nevertheless, makes off after threatening to harm the police officers’ family. When Chozhan and Rajiv reunite, Rajiv tells him what transpired the day they split up: Parirajan confronts Rajiv. Parirajan chastised him for stealing money by misusing his abilities, which led Rajiv to murder his father. Additionally, he heard him predict that Chozhan would soon surpass Rajiv in everything, which made him harbor a lifelong animosity toward Chozhan.

Following the disclosure, Rajiv challenges Chozhan to save one of the near ones he would soon kidnap, claiming that he has matured and changed in many ways and is far too sophisticated for him to intercept. Chozhan invites everyone to an unexpected meeting with Ashvitha. He took this action to ensure that his loved ones were never separated from him in case Rajiv abducted any of them.

Chozhan discovered during his engagement to Ashvitha that Pinky, his cousin’s daughter, had vanished on her school excursion. Chozhan replies by kidnapping Rajiv’s pregnant wife, Anisha, after Rajiv soon phones him to tell him that he took Pinky from her school with the intention of killing her. If something happens to Pinky, Chozhan vows to kill Anisha.

Chozhan and Rajiv get together to swap family members. Chozhan adds he would not easily let go of this issue as Rajiv releases Pinky to him. He strikes a bargain with Rajiv: in exchange for Rajiv turning himself in to the police for the 11 deaths, he will take Anisha back to India securely.

Reluctantly, Rajiv gives in and gives up. When the hitman—who had been dispatched by the businessman from Beijing to kill Rajiv—learns about Anisha’s relationship with Rajiv, he follows and slashes her throat in the restroom as Chozhan drives her to the airport.

Rajiv is distraught when he watches Anisha’s death on TV while he is incarcerated. He believes that Chozhan has broken his word and escaped from prison by ingesting prawns, which caused allergies and choking episodes in him. He kidnaps local children as part of a scheme against Chozhan and informs the community that Ramalingam must perish in order to save their children.

To little effect, Rajiv tries to indoctrinate someone into shooting Ramalingam in order to protect their kids. After Ramalingam confesses that he killed his father when he was thirteen, Rajiv coerces Ramalingam into taking rat poison to end his life.

Chozhan rescues the kids in the interim and brings them back to his village. Not before ordering Chozhan to finish Rajiv, Ramalingam passes away. Inside a skyscraper, Chozhan confronts Rajiv. Following a fierce struggle, Chozhan throws Rajiv off the structure and snatches him by the leg.

Towards the conclusion, he reveals the role Beijing corporates had in Anisha’s demise. After learning the truth, Rajiv is horrified and attempts to get Chozhan to help him up, but Chozhan throws him off the building, which causes his death. A few years later, Chozhan visits Ramalingam and Rajiv’s cemetery with his son and flowers.

Chozhan and Rajiv have been friends from childhood. Rajiv’s father is an ex-CBI officer. He trains both the kids and makes them ambitious to become strong and sincere cops in the future. After a few years, Chozhan runs a departmental store in Singapore. He is one of the few people who help the people in his locality. What happens when Chozhan meets Rajiv in a tough situation? How will he manage to face him when he turns his enemy? This forms the rest of the plot.

Star Performance

Arya is perfect in his negative role. Vishal is good in the action sequences. Prakash Raj did justice to the given role. Mirnalini Ravi is okay with her role.

Although we have seen a lot of films about friends becoming enemies, this one is a bit different. The director has designed the scenes well when Arya and Vishal meet. However, if the characters had been written better, Arya would have got a bit strong name. The cast is chosen well, and all are apt for the given roles. The cinematography is perfect, and the BGM too. The production values are good. The action sequences are well choreographed.

What’s There?

• Performances of the stars are good
• Action choreography is good

What’s Not There?

• Writing could have been better

The film has a good story and screenplay. If the characters were designed better, the stars might have an opportunity to expose their talents better! However, it is worth watching once!
