ANBARIVU - Tamil movie review by Niluja Rajalingam
Paragraph 1: Synopsis:
So, in summary, this movie is about two brothers who are twins who get separated at birth. One child lives in Canada with his father. There are incidents in the family forcing the twins to switch families. The whole premise of the movie is the brother's attempt to reunite the family. Anbu and Arivu are twins who separated as infants.
Paragraph 2: Context:
The reason I liked this movie, despite the film's predictability, is the lesson or the morale of the story, which indicates trust and respect come with earning that. The sons growing up in two countries show and explain nature versus nurture. Can one of the sons grow up in South India with his mother? She is in a different environment than he had been in; the other is in Canada, a western country. With his father and close family, you can see the significant differences in the environment and how they raised them. The names that gave to them are part of the movie as Anbu means LOVE and Arivu means brains, and both of the kids were twins; therefore, when the boys were reuniting, it is mentioned that you can't have both you would have to have love as well as brains.
Paragraph 3 – Evaluation
I liked the film. I felt there could be so much more to it and could have added a bit of oomph, but overall, we learned a great lesson, and there were parts that were speaking pure facts and made you think as an immigrant and how we treat other people and how other people treat us. Some features were cute and somewhat funny in my eyes. It was the movie that wanted to learn a lesson, but also it was quite a chill movie I felt compared to others more deeply and reflecting on ourselves.
I felt thrilled, excited and content at the end of the movie-there are parts I do not want to give away s it does not ruin the movie. The satisfaction you receive when everything ends, or so the behaviour of the villain and everyone learns the truth. Then the happy ending of the family reuniting and learning everything that happens that they started in the movie finished, and the youngest feels complete with himself.
I rate this movie about 3.5 /5.
Thanks for reading!
Watch out for next reviews.
