Anumanaspadam review
Vamsi's 'Anumanaspadam' is a let down (REVIEW)
By B. Anuradha, Indo-Asian News Service
Film: "Anumanaspadam" Cast: Aryan Rajesh, Hansa Nandini, Vanita,
Jayaprakash Reddy, Bharani, Subhash, and Devi Charan; Director:
Krishna Vamsi; Music: Ilayaraja; Producers: Satish and Jai
The ghost of Tamil Nadu's slain forest brigand Veerappan haunts
ace Telugu director Krishna Vamsi's latest release "Anumanaspadam".
The film belies big expectations because of its dreary
screenplay and outdated comedy. Vamsi, who regaled audiences
over 15 years ago with murder mystery "Anveshana", fails to
recreate the same magic.
Up-and-coming Aryan Rajesh plays a reporter who plans to unearth
the fortune of dead Veerappan. His character has negative
shades.
Hansa Nandini plays a money-minded girl and she agrees to
pretend to be in 'love' with Rajesh for the sake of a fortune.
Jayaprakash Reddy, as a
guide, overdoes his act while Bharani is adequate. Devi Charan,
Vanita and Subhash try to salvage ill-defined roles.
Maestro Ilayaraja's delightful music and cinematographer Vinda's
picture-perfect lighting sustain the film's mood to some extent.
Producers Satish and Jai's dream of making a memorable film with
the famed Vamsi-Ilayaraja duo fails to come true.
