If: You have left out all expectations, you are full of time, you want to see how best not to make such a movie, you have absolutely nothing else to do, only then watch this crap. It is not even fit for a review. But updating only to save others' time!

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.

It is certainly a great movie, what takes the maximum points is its cast, less known actors, made it real simple. But for a few Technical aspects, could have done well to score a perfect 10. And loved the ending, as it was almost a right guess from me as I could predict the ending as the time left was so less at the last, that It couldn't have any other finish. But, surely it is a #MustWatch movie and certainly a lot different from the usual movies which have become so routine. The Main Hero and Heroine did a good job. The make up on the Heroine was not natural and it was obvious that it was forced upon, could have done better on makeup part. She did her part very well.
