Vil Ambu Review | Jil Jung Juk Review
Imman Annachi, Aadukalam Murugadoss, Subbu Panchu, Riythvika and others are in the supporting cast. The interesting part of the story is that a host of stars, including Jayam Ravi, Bobby Simha, Karthi, Raghava Lawrence, Sivkarthikeyan, Vijay Sethupathi has done guest appearances in "Anjala".
The Tamil movie has Gopi Sunder's music, Ravi Kannan's cinematography and Praveen KL's editing.
The film has generated decent pre-talk with its promotions. The makers are hoping that this factor work big time for "Anjala" at the box office.
Set in Cholavandhan village, "Anjala" is the story of a middle-aged man played by Pasupathy, whose century-old tea shop is in danger due to the widening of the road. A love story between Kavas (Vimal) and Uthara (Nandita) is connected with the main plot that starts at the shop.
The clash between tradition and modernisation is the crux of the story. "Anjala" raises questions on if we are welcoming the development at the cost of cultural symbols.
Reviews:
The movie has opened to decent reviews. The audience say that "Anjala" has a good story backed by good performance of the lead cast. But there are also useless songs and comedy sequences that play the spoilsport. Nonetheless, viewers have whole-heartedly praised the performance of Pasupathy. Here, we bring to you their response to the flick:

Done watching #Anjala - Clean family entertainer. Very positive movie.
Surprised about how #Anjala ended. Natural ending without focusing much about the leads. Also surprised about importance for small roles.
