Second Half
Investigation Part
Drawbacks:
Takes time to get into the story
Some irrelevant scenes
Analysis:
Director Venkata Sathya comes up with a story that falls under the genre of crime thrillers, and he mostly succeeded in delivering an intriguing thriller. The premise, involving a serial killer, aided by an interesting investigation worked out for most of the part. But, placement of some scenes in the screenplay feels irrelevant and could be avoided. The first half deals with establishing news channel segments and a love story, while the second half deals with police tactics along with impressive action sequences.
Satya G’s editing could have been better. The dialogues written by Lakshmi Lohit Pujari showed a good impact. Nani Chamidishetti’s cinematography is decent and Saravana Vasudevan’s music is okay with impactful background score. The production values are good for the film.
Rating: 3/5
Bottom-line: Interesting Crime Thriller
