AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

davidrajsekhar Anukshanam is a good attempt at creating suspense – thriller Story begins with introduction to a taxi driver Sitaram (Surya) who is on a killing spree. Yes, he is our serial killer with different motive and fascination. As count and cruelty of murders targeted at a particular sex, age group and timing shakes the city, Goutham (Manchu Vishnu) is roped in to solve this mystery. The strict police officer along with his team (Supreet, Shravan etc) begins to trace for clues but fails to even find a hair of Sitaram. Then enters a US returned Behavioral Science Professor Shailaja (Revathi) to help the police team. While Home Minister (Kota) and media (Madhu Shalini) embark with huge criticism against the police failure and Hyderabad begins to shiver with ever increasing victims, a small clue takes them close to Sitaram. However, they miss the chance while Shailaja begins to study so deep into Sitaram's childhood and family. 'Anukshanam' is not a regular commercial cinema. It has a hard hitting subject with commanding performances from Vishnu, Surya. In conclusion, 'Anukshanam' is a far better film than RGV's past record. Bloodshed, barbarism, cruelty and severity are showed in RGV's Psycho Angle. Recommended for gutsy and gallant audience!

Ravi Kiran "Maverick RGV is always a good seller for good reasons linked to his technical skills and ability to market a film. Performance wise, Manchu Vishnu is carving a new image of own by selecting this kind of films. Being producer and hero here, Vishnu is acknowledged with advantages of experimenting on this subject. The level of maturity Vishnu attained as an artist was consciously visible in one episode of Police Station when Navdeep, Revathi, Supreet are sitting besides and Vishnu receives a shocking parcel from bloodthirsty killer. The frustration, self possession, confusion and complexion in character are dealt with equilibrium. If Revathi's role was meant to impart knowledge on psycho killings, Madhu Shalini was over (re)acting. Psycho character done by Surya was simple, grabbing the attention. Kota was regular; Brahmanandam irritating and Supreet, Shravan got a tragic end. "

Sneha Reddy It's a simple tale of grandfather (Dasari) and grandson Rajesh (Vishnu Manchu) focusing on human emotions, bonding between Thata-Manavadu. While Rajesh, a software engineer aspiring to go to US, he decided to spend 3 months with his doting grandfather in the city. In between Rajesh falls for a girl Raji (Catherine) and so Raji. As grandfather arrives to his place, then Rajesh's life takes several dramatic turns and troubled waters start in his life, including his love life, because of his grandpa's village habitat. How did Rajesh handle the turn of events and how did his grandpa cope with it form the crux of the story. Technically, Chakri's music stands out. The cinematography and editing are good. The story line is excellent and Dasari Naryayana and Vishnu are done excellent performance in the film.

sekharkumar Vishnu Manchu as the clean-shaven cop Gautam plays his part well. His six-foot frame and body language suit the character perfectly. Of course, at places his diction is a bit mumbled, but barring that he suits the part. Another important character in the film is played by Revathi. The aging actress plays her role with complete ease and seems to be least bothered appearing without any make-up at all. For her, playing the character of a visiting psychiatrist from the US who joins Gautam to help him trace the serial killer is a cake walk and she plays it as realistically as possible. But the real catch of the film is Surya who plays the serial killer Seetharam. He is neither slick nor sophisticated, but his rugged looks and his otherwise dumb expressions totally go with the psycho taxi driver character that he plays. Barringhis huge frame, his expressionless face can be easily lost in a crowd and that works for him. Apart from them, the film has an ensemble cast including Madhu Shalini, Brahmanandam, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Tejaswi. All of them put in okay performances, though Madhu Shalini could have toned down her histrionics.
