V movie review; puzzle of killing
V newest Telugu flick starring Nani and Sudheer Babu, starts with a quote from William Shakespeare’s The Tempest: “At this hour lie at my mercy all mine enemies.” But the film is not really based on the play or the characters. So what is the significance of the quote then? The answer lies in the lead up to the many brutal deaths of villains in the story by a mysterious killer.
The killer (Nani) enjoys the act of killing so much that he finds creative ways to kill, but most of them have to do with finding the right technique to ensure a quick death. He loves puzzles and challenging those in power because he wants to make a point. And the responsibility to stop this killer falls in the hands of a tough cop, DCP Aditya, who struggles to find a motive behind the killing game. DCP knows that time is fast running out and no matter how hard he tries, the killer is always way ahead of him.
Sunny Leone calls it difficult ; reveals her different journey
The whole movie revolves around the battle of egos between these two characters, played by Nani and Sudheer Babu, and who is going to emerge as the winner.
Aditi Rao Hydari, plays a key role, but has limited screen time. However, she is the emotional core of the story. It all seems good on paper, but the effect does not translate well on screen.
Thaman’s background score gives good mystic ambiance . On the bright side, the film is well-shot and PG Vinda creates the right ambiance and mood with his lighting.
