Analysis :

Sai Kiran is adequate for the role of psychiatrist. Meera suited the role of mentally disturbed girl. And her blank expression helped the in projecting the enigma of her character. Jyothi is good as the wife of Sai Kiran. Preeti Nigam is compassionate as the mother of Meera. Sameer is impressive in the episode inspired by 'Darna Mana Hain'.Screenplay of the film is very flat. Direction by Abhinav Velagaleti is average. The narration of the film lacks clarity. Dialogues by Vara Prasad and Rambabu are mediocre. Camerawork by SD John is good. Locations used are also good. Music by Sashi Kumar is adequate. There are no songs in this 2-hour film. Production values of the film are decent.

TeluguOne Perspective :

This film is a freemake of Hollywood thriller 'The Sixth Sense'. 90% of the film is translated from The Sixth Sense as it is. No efforts are put to change the storyline and present it to appeal to the tastes of Telugu film lovers. The movie appears dragged most of the times though it is a film of 2-hour duration. By changing the kid character of The Six Sense into a teenage girl, the director lost the sympathy factor that works for the kid. Over all, it is an unappealing free make of 'The Sixth Sense'. 'Kaani' is the outcome of the combination of hollywood flick 'Sixth Sense' and 'Darna mana hai'. But the director Abhinav Velagaleti messed up the screenplay and the result is a half baked story. The narration of the film is slow and lacks clarity. Dialogues by Vara Prasad and Rambabu are mediocre. Saving grace is there are no songs in the movie and the duration of the movie is 2hrs.
