Plot

Anniyan is the story of Ramanujam "Ambi" Iyengar, a brahmin lawyer who suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder. He is an extremely law-abiding citizen and is frustrated with how society does not conform to his ideal. Ambi, deeply in love with Nandini Raghuram (Sadha), tries his hardest to please her in an overly practical way. Nandini disgusted by Ambi's failure to be romantic, always ends up bolting away. Remo, one of Ambi's three multiple personalities succeeds in wooing Nandini. As the story progresses, we are introduced to Anniyan, the last of Ramanujam's personalities;the personality that is more vicious and determined than his other two alters. As the story goes, Anniyan performs "punishments of hell" to those who sin. Eventually, Anniyan and Remo have an internal struggle when Nandini herself performs a minor sin. Prakash Raj plays a tough cop who is on the maniac reformer's trail. Ambi, accused of Anniyan's crimes, is jailed and beaten. Vikram, who plays all three of the personalities has a brilliant scene towards the end of the movie where all Ambi, Anniyan and Remo have internal struggers amonst themselves while being beaten by a police officer who then becomes extremely frightened. The climax features how Ambi finds out his own hideous secret of various personalities, and how he reacts to them.

The film is loosely based on the 1998 Sidney Sheldon bestseller 'Tell me your Dreams'.
