Anniyan operates on multiple thematic levels. On the surface, it’s a stylish vigilante thriller. But beneath lies a sharp social commentary. Shankar doesn't glorify violence; instead, he uses Anniyan as a mirror to society's collective rage. The film asks uncomfortable questions: Is law enough without empathy? Is vigilantism the only answer to systemic failure?
