Warning: Spoilers

Short and nice story but there are many plot holes in the movie. And 1 main point- please do not add songs in middle of the movie.this tradition has been going since 70s. Don't know why the songs come in middle and the scene cuts to hero and heroine dancing. And unrealistic fighting where hero has some super human strength. 1) hero studies in IIT Bombay but can't afford a rs 3000 add. 2) I could say that hero did all this by middle of story. 3) poor acting by the hero. But nice acting by Vijay Verma though.

Good story line

srinivasravindra10 December 2020

Good plot, narrates to end suspense thriller with film noir content. Any way best try by all departments and best by Vinay Verma. Thanks to team iit krishmurthy

A Smart and Sensible Movie that Lives up to its Name !!!

cs_rahul_prasad2 August 2022

Krishnamurthy (Prudhvi Dandamudi) is an IIT post-graduate from Mumbai who is in Hyderabad to find his missing uncle. ACP Vinay Varma (Vinay Varma) takes up the case and finds out there's a threat to Krishnamurthy's life.

He lodges a police complaint but shockingly comes to know that his uncle is dead and was cremated by the cops themselves. Krishna does not believe this and continues to find the cause. He gets attacked multiple times and this is also the same time a big company fraud takes place. What is the connection between these two cases ? What happened to Krishna's uncle and What's the back story ? That forms the rest of the story.

ACP Vinay Varma is strict, honest, egoistic and always manages to rub people the wrong way. He is that senior cop who always gets transferred as a token of his sincerity. Krishnamurthy decides to take matters into his own hands when he reaches Hyderabad and looks for his uncle as he doesn't believe the police will look for him. He believes the complaint will remain unsolved. However, ACP Vinay takes charge of the case and digs deep enough to unearth some shocking details. There is also a love story that the director expects us to stay invested in, but we don't. The half-baked nature of it and the misplaced duets only manage to slow things down.

While the first half of the film manages to set up the story, the second part of it is where all the meat lies. Director Sreevardhan has fine-tuned his narrative well enough to keep you on the edge of your seat. The writing is gripping and the grim mood sustained (almost) throughout the film. The best part about IIT Krishnamurthy has to be its unpredictability. And more than Krishnamurthy's character, it is Vinay Varma who leads the show.

Prudhvi Dandamudi, who plays the role of Krishnamurthy, has done a commendable job in the lead role. The young actor keeps his act to the point and lends credibility to the plot. He is particularly good at certain incidences where he acts in a way that he lets the plot of the movie shine. All in all, Prudhvi is able to find the balance between his performance and letting the plot tell a gripping narrative. Mira Doshi is beautiful and expressive, but seems misplaced in a character that isn't fleshed out well enough. Satya spills some laughs but that's about it. Vinay Varma is believable as the egoistic cop.

The suspense factor that is revealed in the end is pretty good and has been handled well. The manner in which the suspense is built up with key scenes in the pre-climax was neat. Comedian Satya does a good job in his limited role. Theatre actor, Vinay Varma gets a key role and he does well as a cop. He is the best part of the film and is getting better with each film. IIT Krishnamurthy is a film that will not put you to sleep and qualifies as an attempt that is appreciable. To know if an IITian is truly brainier than the most experienced cop is something you need to watch.

Good Movie. Nobody acted well in the movie. BGM in the movie was not good. The movie was interesting or thrilling at 1st half. The movie was boring and lagging at 2nd half. Good Movie.

It will be remade(hindi) in the coming years.

rathoresinghvijay29 May 2022

Excellent and Nice one in the thrilled list but screen play, actors, comedy scene not good. Every actor can't show his feelings and emotions. Also comedy scene not directed properly by director. Background music not good. Finally, story is good but presentation is not good. I think this movie going to be remake(hindi) with proper presentation with good actors.

Good story but poor actors -specially heroine

dxysjpmiz20 December 2020

Concept is really good and good background music in unconvinced situationwith boring comedy and unnecessary songs Hero did okyish acting. So much hype given to the ACP character but artist is not suitable, have been a better personality. To much over bgm for hero scenes - felt comedy. The biggest mistake of the director is selecting the heroine, who doesn't know basic acting. The movie would have been done great if there was a better heroine. Heroine too much overacting.

All the best ..! Cheers

Movie worth of your time

fdanuvarma25 December 2020

I watched this on Amazon because it had 62 reviews with 4 rating. That's a decent rating in my opinion for a telugu movie. After I started watching it, after few mins, I was curious about the director, when I searched in google it really didn't show lot of details about the director and the movie rating on IMDb was also 5.8/10 when I saw at then. I thought, it is probably a stupid movie that's why it doesn't have a good rating. But, after watching the whole movie, I didn't regret of watching it. Unlike commerical movies like sarilevru nikevaru, ala vaikuntapuram lo, Sye ra etc this movie has kept me watching without a pause, without getting out of my couch, without even wanting forward. Really appreciate the detail and love they have put in making the movie. Loved how they untied every bit of the story. Really need to encourage these small movies with new heroes, new stories, new directors and other actors. Despite all the things mentioned above, there are few mistakes made, so I cannot give a 10/10 rating like not using helmets while riding bikes. A good film with a good care towards the society makes it whole great picture with a great message 🙂

Waste of time

karthikkumaravel-5256717 May 2022

Watched this movie after so much hype. The movie was not gripping. Story line was good. Could've given a minimum guarantee hit movie. Psst... Horrible.

Poor actors, poor editing, no suspense, heroine is way too annoying, hero forgot acting completely. The comedy actor was good.

A good movie with a possibility of twists, turns and spine chilling moments. But failed completely.

Nice Movie, deserves better feed back

praveenkkr17 January 2021

Movies with mindless storyline get good ratings, especially when lead actors are established. But a movie with genuine plot is rated so low. Coming to the movie, it is very interesting plot. But, there is no over hype created. Anyhow, there are a few loopholes. Like, performances and background music could have been better. Editing also could have been improvised.

Underrated movie. Should be at least 8 star rated

gowthamadi22 September 2021

One of the best movies I saw recently. The story is very well constructed and the actors are good. Especially the police ACP character acted really well. The movie is a small budget movie but it is well made. Kudos to the whole team. I don't understand how people rate movies on IMDB. This movie should certainly be rated above 8, given the below par quality of movies that come out (especially of big heroes and directors).

You should surely watch it.
