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.
