A thriller in Telugu cinema is often left uncooked and leaves you with many unanswered questions, or worse, those answered in an illogical manner. But director Ritesh Rana's Mathu Vadalara is a film that will leave you satisfied. Right from the first shot, the film sticks to the story without meandering. The director deserves appreciation for picking such a story for his debut and dealing with it like a pro.
Babu (Sri Simha) and Yesu (Satya) struggle to even pay their house rent with the money they make. But their plan to make more money lands Babu in trouble, bringing in Abhi (Naresh Agastya) to lend a helping hand. There's a heinous crime committed elsewhere, and the way Ritesh connects these dots shows how well he worked on the script. By the end of the first-half, one refreshingly is left curious about the second-half of the film.
