Movie: Anthony Yaar
Director: Pandi
Music: Dhina
Cast: Shaam, Mallika Kapoor
Verdict: Watchable

The film has been lying in the box for months and after we watch it, we feel that it should have been left there. It’s a big yawn, totally outdated and drags big time. The story and presentation is ancient.

Anthony (Shaam) is an orphan who grows up in a church situated in a coastal village near Tuticorin. The local priest (Rajesh) is his benefactor. Anthony is loving and caring towards the local fishermen and their families who are being exploited by the rowdy Michael (Lal).

A rich girl Manju (Mallika Kapoor), a marine zoologist is doing a project. She gets attracted to Anthony who does not reciprocate as his life revolves around the fishermen families and their plight. Finally Anthony takes the battle to Miachel and due to divine intervention wins the battle!

Shaam shows off his six-pack body, Mallika has hardly anything to do while Lal hams. The music is bad. Vivek’s comedy track as Kingfisher is the only entertainment in the film, though he too is fast becoming repetitive. There is nothing here to recommend, and is total waste of time.
