After making unforgettable flops like Aksar and
Aggar, actor turned director Anant Mahadevan is back
with another torturous flop in the making – Anamika.
The film lies on the slab of a flat tale with
sufferings from the turns and twists of a suspense
and horror story.
After a little wooing and cuddling, Vikram Sisodiya
(Dino Morea) marries an escort Jia (Minissha Lamba).
However, Vikram tells everything about his first
wife Anamika, who is dead, to Jia. Anamika’s death
is unexplained in this part of the story. |

The onlookers of Gajner, Vikram’s hometown in
Rajasthan are amazed by the presence of Jia. They
are completely obsessed about Anamika, and that
makes the newly wed Jia a little uncomfortable.
Vikram’s home is Gajner is looked by his childhood
friend Koena Mitra (what a pity!), who gives puzzled
expressions most of the times. Jia senses the
ultimatum when she sees the spirit of Anamika in the |

|
palace. In the scheme of things, Anamika’s dead body
is found with every proof pointing Vikram as the killer.
The plot manages to grab the eyeball till the intermission,
but after that the director completely loses his control
from the script, ending in a hotch-potch drama of stitters.
The surprise element of Anamika is lost in the process of
engaging the viewers to a point where they know it all, or
they lose their interest from the plot.
With the first half in good sync, all the director had to do
was to mystify the events with elan in the second half.
However, his attempts fall flat in the second half. |

|
The climax is
just a formality with shaky direction and loose script in
hands. Cinematography is okay while the writing is good in
parts. Anu Malik’s music is passé. The production design is
commendable. |
|
|
Actingwise, Dino Morea delivers well in his solo
attempt. Minissha Lamba looks fantabulous. Koena
Mitra does not fit into her role with ease and that
shows in her body language.
Achint Kaur and Gulshan Grover deliver good
performances.
Overall, Anamika will not meet anyone’s expectations |
|
 |
|
|
as there aren’t any attached with the film other
than the ones of its makers. The thriller lacks the punch
and suspense to attract the smart cinegoers till the
theatres. |
