Story

Amrita (Ananya) is a town girl who comes to Hyderabad to attend a job
interview. She takes the help of a stranger Gowtam (Sharwanand) to reach
her interview place from the bus-stand. She is naive as well as suspicious of city guys.
They travel together for a day, but doesn’t exchange their numbers though they started
liking each other. Krishna (Jai) works in a metal shop and he falls in love with a neighbor
 Madhumati (Anjali). Anjali is a dominating girl who keeps Jai in constant
 tests to approve his love. Amrita realizes her love after coming back to her
town and want to meet Gowtam. A bus starts from Vijayawada and another bus starts
from Hyderabad. The rest of the story is all about what happens when these two buses
traveling in opposite directions collide head-on (these buses carry these four principle characters).
Performance:
Sharwanand is very impressive. He does complete justice to his role. Ananya come up with a decent performance with her cute looks and bubbly nature. Anjali is quite impressive. Jai makes a mark as the film progresses. The rest of the star cast is okay.

There are very few negative points in the film. The stark reality of the story
and lack of entertainment elements may be minus for the regular audiences.

Analysis:
Journey as the title suggests is all about Journey in life and not just a journey from one place
 to another. The director has weaved a good story with a message. The film talks about various
 values without being preachy.

 from start to finish. The film leaves a lasting impression on your mind.
