Anuvahood is a 2011 British comedy movie that follows the life of a young man named Kenneth or "K" who lives in a council estate in West London. K is a wanna-be rapper who fails to make it big but fancies himself as a gangster. His gang includes his best pal Enrique, his friend Tyrone, and his younger brother who looks up to him. K and his gang are naive, arrogant and prone to getting into trouble.

The film starts with K being chased by a group of gangsters led by one of K's victims, who he has scammed out of some money. The chase ends with K getting caught and severely beaten. After this incident, K decides to change his life and starts to take on his responsibilities. He tries to be a role model to his brother and begins to work in a local supermarket to support his family.

Meanwhile, K's new neighbor happens to be a beautiful girl named Jodie who he immediately takes a liking to. She's a single mother and a nurse, and K starts to spend more time with her to get to know her better. Jodie tries to help K turn his life around and encourages him to pursue his dreams of being a rapper, but she also warns him against getting into trouble.

As K starts to change his ways and leave his past behind him, he realizes that it's not going to be easy. He is constantly faced with challenges, both from his old lifestyle and personal relationships. K's gang, who don't like his new attitude, tries to pull him back into their world of drug dealing and petty crime. K's cousin, who is a drug dealer, also becomes a major issue, putting K in a compromising position.

Anuvahood is a humorous parody of the East London gangster image, and it uses K's character to poke fun at the gangster culture. The movie is fast-paced and features some hilarious scenes, and the characters are all relatable and endearing. The film is a social commentary on the world of young people growing up in council estates and struggling to make their mark in life.

Adam Deacon delivers a brilliant performance as K, and his character's transformation highlighted his acting range. Femi Oyeniran's character, Enrique, brings additional humor and liveliness to the narrative. Ollie Barbieri's character, Tyrone, also provides some entertainment but lacked character depth.

The film was directed by Adam Deacon and Daniel Toland, and they did a great job of keeping the story moving forward without making it too complicated. The movie's soundtrack was well-selected, and the musical scores blended effortlessly into the scenes. The cinematography also added to the film's appeal, with the use of bright colors and artful shot angles.

The overall theme of the movie is that one's past doesn't have to define their future. The story's message is that anyone can change their life if they are determined to do so. Anuvahood is a refreshing departure from the regular gangster movies, and it presents a comical and satirical view of a lifestyle that society tends to glorify.

In conclusion, Anuvahood is a comedy movie that tells an inspiring and uplifting story of breakaway from gangs and how a person's character defines one's action. The movie's themes resonate well with the viewer and leave them with a sense of hope and positivity. The acting, direction, soundtrack, and screenplay are well done, that it makes Anuvahood a must-watch movie.

Anuvahood is a 2011 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 29 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.4.
