Anukokunda Oka Roju

This movie starts off slow, but picks up the pace and engrosses the viewers soon enough. You cannot piece the puzzle together until almost the last 20 minutes, and some scenes seem disconnected until the time of the realization. But, yet, the realization is not an "aha" moment, but a "oh. .is that so".. So, some parts of the plot seem contrived. But compared to the run of the mill telugu movies, this is a lot .. i mean a lot, better.

Narrative, screenplay and direction are good. Like another user mentioned earlier here, there is a documentary touch to some shots. Narrative seems a bit slow at times, but it could be because the pieces seem disconnected.

Charmy did a good job, both as the free spirit initially, the terrified/worried one later.. She also did a good job as the drugged one, but there she seemed to imitate the terrific portrayal of sridevi in "vasantha kokila"..

Jagapathi babu and the hero did a good job too. The "school master" character was funny and had us in splits. Good pun in the over-enthusiastic English was well written - like "u want to come inside from outside", "u dance , i glance"..

All in all - a movie that is definitely recommended.

It is a wonderful thriller movie I had ever seen in this whole earth. Such a perfect script. Though the First half seems to be moving a bit slow, the mystery starts unfolding in the second half justifying and answering every single question left earlier in the beginning. The screenplay is awesome.

A struggling singer(Charmy) stays with her father and step-mother in Hyderabad. Amidst the inimical treatment from her step-mother, she leads a normal and modest life of studying and singing in chorus for part-time. She wants to get a break as a full-time singer. All goes well until one day she finds a strange conversation involving voices of two strangers and hers, recorded in her tape-recorder(which he always carries in her hand-bag). She is taken aback with this and later finds that one whole day had passed without her notice. The plot gets interesting with a series of puzzling events haunting her. She even finds a group of people trying to kill her. The story takes a twist with the cop(Jagapathi babu) and a taxi driver(Sasank) joining her to investigate "the missing day".

Its a must-see movie!!!

Anyday, Anywhere I will give a 10 to this movie!!

ChandraSekhar Yeleti did it again after Aithey!!

Kudos to him!!

Anukokunda Oka Roju is a more unique thriller in Telugu films which came in a time where the mass masala films were dominating. The film didn't perform up to the mark at the time, but clearly it has stood as a cult classic today. The cult classic status is definitely well deserved for this film which creates a thrilling film that keeps you asking questions. Chandrasekhar Yeleti has created a masterclass thriller for the Telugu audience.

Charmee is apt for the role as Sahasra and she plays the strong, soft role quite effortlessly and makes us worry about what happened the night she doesn't remember. Jagapthi Babu is hilarious in his role, he makes the movie a fun watch and puts all his egos aside to play the part wholeheartedly. Shashank is another breath of fresh air. Harshavardhan, Sivannarayana, and other actors generate good laughs to keep up invested in the movie and help develop the main characters. All the reveals and obstacles faced by the characters make us tense and worry.

This is the kind of output I expect and wanted to see more from Chandrasekhar Yeleti, hope he can bounce back to those days and deliver offbeat films which aren't worried about commercializing. He delves into some touching topics like drugs and cults in this film.

Overall a must watch movie for all Telugu movie lovers, especially if you like thrillers.

This movie gives you a certain feel and mood very well written and the color theme like black,brown,red which is used in accordance to the story and characters simply blows your mind ...this movie has some plot holes but the brilliant direction and proceedings make you overlook it this is how you make a thriller

It's Gem Of Telugu Cinema great Suspence Thriller Movie.....
