"Inspired by the 1987 road film Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Anbe Sivam features Haasan, R. Madhavan and Kiran Rathod in the lead roles, with Nassar, Santhana Bharathi, Seema and Uma Riyaz Khan playing supporting roles." -would be better to move "Inspired by the 1987 road film Planes, Trains and Automobiles," to the next paragraph before describing what the film is about.
" Today, however, the film is regarded as a classic and has in fact" -always avoid "in fact" in this encyclopedia.

Filming

"American Embassy at Toronto " -link?
" shot at a railway station in Pollachi " -can you be more precise and link?
"Further filming was held" -held?

Themes

"Film critic Baradwaj Rangan, in his review of another Haasan film, Vishwaroopam (2013), found the ethnicity of the characters in the film to be a continuation of Haasan's inclusion of non-Tamil characters in his films as well as an acknowledgement of the "interconnectedness of the nation" and "the world beyond India", and that the actor had experimented with the concept before in Mahanadi (1994), Nammavar (1994), Hey Ram (2000), Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu (2006), Dasavathaaram (2008) and Manmadhan Ambu (2010). " -rather long, split sentence before "as well".

Legacy

"has garnered a cult status and is now considered a classic in Tamil cinema, receiving more popularity " -too much positivity, you only need to say something like "Anbe Sivam has achieved cult status in Tamil cinema".
"In 2014 art director Rajeevan included Prabhaharan's work in Anbe Sivam among his favourites" -seems a bit trivial, unless Rajeevan is really a prominent figure.
There's quite a lot of cruft in the second paragraph, a lot of it reads as fanboy trivia to be honest. There's a few claims I don't think really add much value here. ""6 roles that prove he has an amazing acting range"" is pretty awful.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:45, 9 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
