I saw the movie. I have a great respect to ARR, but there is not even a single place where this movie lacked ARR. Be it songs or BGM. This is the best BGM Shankar had in all his movies. Not like ARR cant do this or that, but forget about reviews and see the movie and you will enjoy.
I you still think that ARR could have done better BGM, may be, but thats not hte point. HJ has done a wonderful job.
I too have to admit that HJ used "Vandematharam" tune from ARR , just because it is the defacto tune when it comes to patriotism and HJ doesnt want to even think tiwce. So ARR fans can be happy too.
BTW the movie is really good technically speaking, and vikram and Vivek both did fairly neat job. Shankar didnt give anything new in this. This is a combination of Indian and Chandramukhi. For those who didnt watch, watch the movie and dont just go through the review and waste your time.
My personal opinion, it will do good in A center and okay in B center, but wont run in C center. You can expect this to run around 50 days.

yo guys...notice how sify didint praise the song,but only praised the visuals :
When you first heard the songs of Harris Jayaraj, it left you cold, but on screen all the five songs are visual treats. The first song “Kumaari…Kumaari…” shot in the tulip fields of Amsterdam is breath taking. The Iyengaru Veetu Azhage…is simply stunning and hats off to art director Sabu Cyril and cameraman Manikandan for recreating the Thyagaraja Thiruvizha along with veteran musicians like Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan and Sudha Raghunath.
The third song “Kathal Yanai…” shot on a ramp choreographed by Ahmed Khan is stylish. The peppy number “Kannum Kannum Nokia…” is brilliantly captured at KL airport under Raju Sundaram and the surprise packet is “Andangkakka…”, a visual stunner.
Rediff review on audio section :
Another thing that keeps the viewer engrossed is good music. Thus far, A R Rahman has shouldered that responsibility in all of Shankar's films. In Anniyan, the director teams up with Harris Jayaraj for the first time. Jayaraj doesn't disappoint, but while ARR wafted and lingered, Jayaraj explodes and fizzles away.
Kumaari and Iyengar veetu azhage try to seep into your head and Randakka tempts you to tap your feet. But only momentarily. You can click refresh and ctrl+alt+del your memory all you want, but you won't recollect them once the songs are over.

CM = Split Personality = 50 Crore in 50 days

did u guys noticed that the picture used for it's promo and the main picture in the website http://www.anniyan.com/
actually been doctored!!!
only the face is Vikrams, while the body is not, why...simply look at the shoulder muscle, six packs and the chest muscle...and the angle of the face is in a straining angel....but it can be placed such way..but the torso is deft not Vikrams...another Shankar's graphic excellence!>...

When it comes to songs, compared to previous Shankar movie (with ARR), these songs are nothing. I agree. When it comes to BGM, HJ did a good job and one must appreciate that. Again for such a movie, even ARR would have done a lot better BGM than his previous Shankar movies.
As for as 75 crores goes... no. Look at the logic
Chandamukhi + Indian = Anniyan
Rajni + Kamal = Vikram
If the equation seems possible, then yes, they will make 75 crore. Its not possible (though in dialogue they say "I have seen acting by Mgr, Sivaji, Rajni, Kamal, but nothing like this").
If they make even 50 crore, I am happy, because Oscar Ravi took one of the greatest risk and one must support his effort.

Kumari and Iyengaaru Veetu are really good songs which I will be listening to for a long time. But the rest are nothing if you take ARR into consideration. But those two songs seems to warrant enough for me.

NJV,
I saw the movie,
And the BGM was just ok, it fitted the situations but nothing great!
The movie is technically brilliant. If shankar did this movie with his usual time frame, ie with 6 more months, it would have been flawless!
Climax is the main attraction of the movie. If it wasnt for such a gripping climax the movie wud be in serious trouble!

Guys Cinesouth is out with their review,
It says " Old Vadai cooked in new oil"!!!!!!!
Well, It doesnt say anything about the BGM! only says the songs are good, the ones in second half!
And in the plus munis section, the music isnt in the plus section! Shows that HJ makes no difference to this movie. While ARR always made a difference to Shankars movie!

'irukkaradhai vittu, paRakkaradhukku aasaip patta kadhai thaan gnaabakaththukku varudhu'!!
HJ has given the music and the movie is out and the verdict is that the songs come alive in the movie.
What more you want? En...joooooy!
BTW, although the equation between sp and mp makes sense, when you apply the other notable equation, 'Rajni-Vikram', it becomes 75-40=30 crores which will just break even for Oscar and the distributors and they wont curse each other!!
jhooot!
