"Not an edge of the seat thriller"; "Falters at the end", these are some stuff I read in reviews. Some even went on to give ratings like 2.5/3/3.25. I personally feel that it's high time these reviewers should just shut the up. I just want to know what's there competence to rate and review a film. I too watched great cinema just like any other movie buff. And I feel that Telugu Cinema needs someone (reviewer) who appreciates and pushes new talent rather than simply watching the film and being so critical about it. Atleast then, it would be encouraging for new filmmakers out there to come up with new/original content.
When Vishwak Sen quoted "Dr Sailesh Kolanu is the smartest director he might ever work with", I thought he is exaggerating to promote his film. But it turns out to be true. Despite being a debut film, the director wrote the smartest Telugu screenplay I've ever seen. It was so smart that your suspicious keeps Shifting from one character to another and convinces you that anybody could possibly be the criminal. It's very difficult for a filmmaker to establish such curiousity in the viewer right from the beginning and to carry it till the end.
The very objective of the director of any thriller film is to make the audience to make them suspect any character he wants to suspect. And the director excels in this. You don't suspect them just because the moment makes you so, but also due to the background of the character that was shown to you (deliberately by the filmmaker to divert your suspicion at a later point).
One can understand that a lot of research had been on how a homicide detective would investigate a case. And the Director deserves an applause for this. Because the film depicts the entire investigation process in detail. Each and every character is written so carefully and is perfectly casted as well. Be it Vishwak Sen, Murali Sharma or Bhanu Chander and other supporting actors.
