For those of you wishing to watch Vishnu in an extended role, Anukshanam disappoints a bit because Vishnu is as less larger-than-life as he can be. He delivers a decent performance showing the right emotion.

Considering the fact the RGV dealt with the mind of a serial killer, Anukshanam had so much potential to be a truly edgy film; however, it just ends up being loud and gruesome.

Anukshanam is surely RGV's better films in the recent past. Interesting set up, racy narration and superb performance by Vishnu are huge assets. On the flip side, simple loop holes and a hurried up climax spoil the fun to an extent. Finally, if you go in without expectations and go with the mood of the film, you will surely end up liking this decent psycho thriller.
