MNIAG belongs to the genre of last year’s Manorama Six Feet Under and Johnny Gaddar. Slick in its format and an absorbing story, the film is an edge-of-seat thriller and an emotional drama all at once.

The film is slow in parts, but picks up in the second half. The story goes like this: A tapori called Anthony works as a bartender, but wants to become an actor.

Bar waiter Anthony (Nikhil) dreams of becoming a film star. The bar he works in, serves as a front for illegal activities by owner Murtuza (Kher). Murtuza's most trusted lieutenant, Sikander (Pawan) had picked up an orphaned Anthony from the streets and handed him over to father Braganza (Mithun), who had raised him in his church.

On the whole My Name is Anthony Gonsalves is a journey that leaves you lost but hats off to E Niwas for proving that you don’t have to be a Kapoor to be a hero but as long as you have the will even every Michael and Anthony from Bandra’s Chapel road can make it.

The boring: the tempo, the music and E Niwas’ direction which is neither commercial nor twisted. It lacks fireworks (not the Moranis).

The movie has enough twists and turns to keep you entertained in your seats. The end, however, is reminiscent of the 80s when everyone would be at one place with the cops reaching just in time.

The film clicks mainly for its unpretentious demeanor. Unbound by the extra baggage of expectations, it delivers more than one anticipates. And moreover sincerely so! The film isn't essentially designed as a launch pad for a debutante with the regular prototypes of a lover boy with chocolaty looks or a guitar strumming singing sensation or a muscle flexing action hero.

It's an extremely simple film with very believable characters. Anthony's misconceptions about getting a break in the industry and how he reacts to the thankless roles being offered to him are easy to relate to.
