Anaganaga O Athidhi

This is complete copy of one hindi parallel cinema movie telecast on doordarshan which did not get theatrical release. In 80's there were film made as art & parallel cinema which hardly got any theatrical releases. There were changes made which did damage the movie logically. In hindi version it was only father & mother but this version has unmarried sister which completely spoils the show. A unmarried sister is getting attracted to a man who in fact is her brother. Any person in reality if gets hint that such situation is arising will immediately confess that he is in fact her brother rather than keeping it as a secret and planning to again leave the family whom he met after fifteen years. This element was added to make it saleable by having a female presence as lead actress in the movie but it back fires. Over all the movie is time pass as a entertainer, all actors did good job but still because of illogical story it looses the credibility.

This is from 1980's, during my childhood, when a TV Series used to be run on Doordarshan with the Title- Ek Kahani, in which folk tales of different regions used to be telecast.

This particular story: Anaganaga O Athidhi (described as a remake of a Kannada movie in the press and several reviews), is in fact a ditto copy from one of the stories from the Doordarshan series Ek Kahaani from 1980's. As I remember, it might have been either from a background of Rajasthan or Gujarat based story, where, the Son returns to the family after many many years.

In the original story the family gives shelter to the travellers who stop by in the nights as a stop over. The family never takes money originally from them but as time goes, they become greedy for money and start killing those who stop by and loot them. The last kill is of their son.

Don't miss guys watch it once . Background music so nice

The film is a successful attemt in thriller category. Cinematography and music at exceptional level. Payal Rajput as the leading role giving lots of energy to the movie.

The movie revolves around a remote family digging their own graves due to uncontrolable desires and greedy mind set.

Mallika, the leading role wanted to fullfill her desires one way or another. So eventually she falls for her last option, dragging her mom and dad side by side. But what leaves them at end is a real surprise tragedy.

No unnecessary dragging of the story. So each scene is relavant to the movie and flawing it so dramatic. It is a slow thriller which convert the innocent protogonist in to slow killer.

1. Village nativity, dialogues, and costumes are good. 2. Payal, Chaitanya and other supporting cast gave a decent performance 3. Looks like a theatre play is adapted into a movie. And the adaptation is reasonably good. 4. Camera work is very good.

Definitely a good watch.
