'Katha' is directed by Srinivas. And he has has come up with an interesting idea but then he failed to
conceive it perfectly on the screen. The presentation was alright but the narrative lacked the
punch.
Story:
Chitra (Genelia) is a lonely woman. She has suffered a lot mentally after losing all her family
members. Chitra suffers from two phobias. She cannot stand loneliness and she cannot stay calm after
seeing blood. Chitra joins as a teacher in Araku. Life is going smoothly after she makes friendship
with a assistant director Krishna (Arun) and his film unit members. Life changes once again for Chitra
when she sees a girl being murdered. She lodges a police complaint. The inspector, Prakash Raj and his
assistant Shafi, promise to solve the murder mystery.
As days pass by and there is no progress in the case Chitra starts putting pressure on the cops. A
stranger starts visiting Chitra's house at night and she is terrified. Chitra once again slowly starts
losing her mental balance. Krisha is now quite close with Chitra and he tries to allay her fears by
standing by her, day and night. While Krishna and his friends are trying to identify the mischief
maker, one of them is killed and another guy almost battered to death. The people in Araku start
terming Chira as a mad woman. Is she mad or is there something fishy going on? Who killed the girl?
All this forms the rest of the story. And what happens hereafter is to be seen on the screen.
Performance:
Genelia infused life into her character but then it could not go far since her character was not
etched out properly. Arun Adit is okay for a newcomer but he will have to prove his mettle in few more
movies to be named as a proper hero. Prakashraj was riveting as usual and he was the saving grace.
Raghu Babu was hilarious, Shafi was not used to his fullest caliber, Tulasi was standard, Jayalalitha
was regular. Praneeth, Srilatha, Ravikiran Babu and others did their bit as required.
Music:
'Katha' music is composed by SK.Balachandran. The background score was a major disturbance and lacked
the sense to give the right tune according to the mood of the scene. Just one song was okay.
Verdict: Average |  |
