Anaganaga O Athidhi

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.

Payal nailed it with her performance and the other cast did too... But the BGM keeps you engaged.. Awesome screenplay and filmography was good set up in 1980's.. Worth a watch... 😍😍

This movie is completely copy of telugu old DD story.

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.
