Anjaan (2014 film)

Anjaan (transl. Fearless) is a 2014 Indian Tamil-language action film written and directed by N. Lingusamy and produced by Thirupathi Brothers and distributed by UTV Motion Pictures. The film stars Suriya, alongside Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Vidyut Jammwal, Manoj Bajpayee, Dalip Tahil, Murali Sharma, Joe Malloori, Soori, Chetan Hansraj, Sanjana Singh and Asif Basra in supporting roles. The film follows a man who arrives in Mumbai looking for his elder gangster brother and learns of the events behind his disappearance.

The project was reported in July 2012 marking the maiden collaboration with Suriya and Lingusamy and was set to begin production after the former's commitments on other films. Principal photography began on 20 November 2013 and was completed on 23 June 2014, where the film was predominantly shot in Mumbai, with the exception of one song sequence which was filmed in Goa. The music was composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, while cinematography and editing were handled by Santosh Sivan and Anthony.

Anjaan premiered at Kuala Lumpur on 14 August 2014, and theatrically released on 15 August 2014, coinciding with India's Independence Day. The film was a box-office bomb and received negative reviews from critics with praise for Suriya's performance, action sequences, music and cinematography, but criticism directed towards the plot and duration. It eventually became a subject of internet memes mocking the film and director for its reception and overhyped publicity. The film was later remade in Bangladeshi as Captain Khan (2018).
