Anukokunda Oka Roju

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.

My words were WOW!!, after I watched this movie. Excellent movie in recent times!!! It seems like there is hope left that even Tollywood can produce a masterpiece like this. The movie provides everything - stupendous direction, each and every character very well crafted, timely songs, and mainly the suspense thats not let out till the end of movie. You are made to think about various things about the climax of the movie, and at the end entirely a very different outcome is shown. Honestly, I never thought Jagapathi Babu had such talent in him. He was quite amazing in the movie. The same thought about Charmi. I personally like her cute face. I have to agree that the guy from "AIYTHE" was just perfect for the cab driver role. The movie left me with a good feeling, and thanks to all those who made the movie a great success. So if you haven't watched the movie, its about time to do so!!

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!!

Its great to come across a really good no-nonsense Telugu movie! Charmee's a charmer and she is super fresh here. She handles her role with great panache. This will be her role of a lifetime. Jagapathi Babu's part suits him very well as a coy cop. This movie is good because it carefully avoids all the excesses that other "mass" Telugu movies mindlessly indulge in. There are no corny dialogues to make you cringe. The director does a fantastic job handling the comedy as well as the dramatic parts. The music is quite soothing and not the regular cacophony that we come across in routine Telugu flicks. All the songs blend smoothly into the plot. The dialogues are very realistic and the kind you and I can relate to. Watching this film reminded me of 'Kshana Kshanam', another masterpiece. The director seems to have been obviously inspired by it.

The plot is airtight overall, although the ending may seem a stretch to some. I wonder how this movie did at the box office though, as it is "class" as opposed to "mass". Its sad to see good movies not being appreciated by the general public. I haven't watched 'Aithe', by this director yet, but I certainly will, now.

This movie is more of a commercial movie than a thriller movie. The director could've avoided many songs in this movie. The concept of the movie was very new to the cinema at that time. We could enjoy this movie very much even if it gets released today.

When three different people tries to kill you on three different occasions of the same week, you wouldn't be singing songs and dancing in the rain with kids. This movie has a lots of silly elements like this. But the story and screenplay kept the movie going.

I feel the director has inserted comedy clips into the scenes every once in a while to prevent the audience from boredom. But this made the movie to lag and the movie would've entertained a lot more without those silly jokes.
