What happens next will form the crux of the story.

Artists Performance:
As a selfish guy, Allu Sirish has delivered good performance in Kotha Janta. He has shown lot of maturity and improvements in his acting when compared to his debut film Gouravam. As his partner, Regina Cassandra has done her best. She wins the heart of viewers with her glamour. Saptagiri has tried his best to tickle the funny bones of audience. Madhurima's item number is good. Others have also done justice their respective roles.

Technical and Other Departments:
Kotha Janta has rich production values and JB's music is main attraction in the technical front. His songs and background score are big assets of the film. Richard Prasad's picturisation is another big strength of the film. His camera work in song sequences is superb. Selection of beautiful locales and costume is commendable. Ashok Kuruba's editing is also good, but he could have chopped some boring scenes in the second half of the film.

Movie Analysis:
Kotha Janta is a romantic comedy entertainer with all commercial elements to woo mass audience. Allu Sirish's performance is one of the big highlights in it. Maruthi's interesting story, screenplay and punch lines, Regina Cassandra's glamour, Saptagiri's comedy timing, JB's trendy music and Richard Prasad's beautiful cinematography are other attractions in the movie. The dragging and boring narration in the second half is its one big drawback.Maruthi has taken a unique concept for Kotha Janta and tried his best to execute it on screeb with some interesting twists and turns. The story is all about what happens when a selfish boy and girl fall in love with each other. The director has done brilliant screenplay and made it a colourful romance drama.The movie Kotha Janta opens with the funny introduction of the hero and heroine's selfish childhood days. The first half of the film has a racy and engaging narration. Allu Sirish and Regina's romance and Sapthagiri's hilarious comedy keep you engaged and entertained in this portion. Following the break up of lovers before the interval bang, the movie hits a rough patch and the narration goes very slow in the second half. Though the climax is predictable, it is interesting.

Final View:
Overall, Kotha Janta is another youthful and colourful entertainer from director Maruthi. Allu Sirish, Regina Cassandra and Saptagiri rock you with their performances. The movie can be a good entertainer for family audience this weekend.

Nayanthara New Telugu Film Anaamika Movie Review:
Prior its release, Telugu movie Anamika has garnered huge positive buzz as it is the remake of hit Hindi suspense thriller Kahaani starring Vidya Balan. Critically-acclaimed director Sekhar Kammula and popular South Indian actress Nayantara's association with this project has added more to the curiosity of the viewers. Released in theatres today, the movie manages to live up to the audiences' expectations.

Story:
Anaamika (Nayanatara) lands in Hyderabad to find the whereabouts of her now missing husband Ajay Shastri (Harshavardhan Rane), a software employee. The police to whom she complains shows cold shoulder, but Parthasarathy (Vaibhav) is an exception.  He goes out of his way and some times beyond the call of his duty to help the hapless woman trace her husband. 
Does she find her husband?  What is the role of the police in it?  Who is Ajay Shastri and what is the role of Milind Damji in his life?  Why is the Home Minister (Naresh) on tenterhooks?  Does Anaamika have the ability to rock the boat by getting in possession something that can shake the nation?

Artists Performance:
Nayanatara is seen in an author-backed role. She is convincing when she sobs, she is good when she is assertive. She has portrayed various emotions well. This is quite challenge for her in a role that was done by Vidya Balan. Nayanatara has succeeded. Pasupathy makes an impact and even brings out a smile or two in us. Vaibhav emotes more and talks less.  He, again, fits the bill.  Harshavardhan Rane has brief role. Naresh is just about ok.

Technical and Other Departments:
On the technical front, it is senior music director MM Keeravani whose work gets noticed first. With his effective background score, he lifts to the movie in many sequences.  The two songs coalesce with the film and we do not know when they come and go. Addamlo Ammayi song that come as the end credits roll is too good.

Cinematography is neat. Vijay C Kumar has captured the old city of Hyderabad well. Although the film is not lengthy, the film has slow pace for a thriller. Editor Marthand Venkatesh should have fastened the pace in the first half. Art work is good.
As writer and director, Sekhar Kammula this is quite different genre. His strength has been lighthearted urbane movies. Although, the genre is new to him, he has managed to pull off.

Movie Analysis:
First things first.  By accepting the challenge of adaptation of a one-woman narrative like Kahaani, Shekar Kammula has proven himself to be a filmmaker who is game for challenges. For the first time in his bright career, he has remade a film. Anaamika is not exact remake of Bollywood film, Kaahani. Director Sekhar Kammula and veteran writer Yandamuri Veerendranath has taken the basic plot from the movie and have told in a different manner. So it is more of adaptation than the remake.

Besides taking some amount of creative liberty with the original plot, Kammula doesn't violate the soul of the original. The essence of the original is not harmed. But here in Anaamika, the heroine is not seen with baby bump unlike the original. Yet, Nayanatara's character surprises us with her perseverance, ability to challenge the authority of the cops and so on.  She breaks down when she is alone, does a tear jerker in the presence of Vaibhav, but she is more than any of these.
The film starts off on a slow note. Entire first half lacks mojo but as the film grows in tempo, it makes us root for it.  Second half of the film is truly engrossing. And the climax is very good. The best moments in the film come post interval.

Final View:
A serious film and has topical subject, Anaamika is a nice thriller. Although it doesn't look as novel as the original movie, this is fairly good adaptation of Kaahani by Sekhar Kammula. Post interval sequences work out so well. For those who have not seen Kahaani, surely Anaamika will be a treat.
