What a brilliant movie! This is one of the rare movies in Bollywood that touches you to the core. Srikanth is a biopic of Srikanth Bolla, a visually challenged Indian who is now the CEO of Bollant Industries. Script/Story line - Story of Srikant Bolla is very heart touching and inspiring. Kudos to the film makers for bringing such stories into mainstream cinema. It is a beautifully written film and keeps you engaged till the last scene. It has a nice balance of humor and emotions. It may or may not make you laugh but certainly would make you cry in certain emotional scenes. Cast Performance - Talking about the performances, I am amazed by Rajkumar Rao’s portrayal of the main character. He has given a stellar performance. Brilliant acting by Rajkumar Rao. No other words for his performance. Other cast have also delivered superb performances, especially Jothika who plays the role of Srikanth’s teacher. Background score/songs - Background score is good, and songs are well fitted in the story narration. “Papa kehte hai” song is lovely. It is soothing and gets you emotional. Direction – Direction is brilliant. This is my first movie of Vamsi Krishna Akella. I loved the direction. My Final Take – This is a must watch film for all the Indians. It scores well in all departments. More than anything this story is heart-touching and inspirational to everyone. It will make your time, money and emotions well spent.

This has an interesting storyline and good suspense. It keeps you hooked from the beginning. Initially the story looks like the fight between good and evil. But it goes beyond that. The story has deep psychological elements that sheds light on the complexicity of human nature. Everyone has a dark side or you can say Shaitaan resides in everyone of us. Every human being have the capacity to become a Shaitaan when exposed to certain life changing events that shake the foundation of our moral or ethical beliefs. It is a well made film. Well written and well directed. Superb performance by the cast especially R Madhavan's performance is top notch. Good background score that matches the intensity of the plot. One of the drawback of this film is that the antogonist's character is not well developed. I failed to connect with R Madhavan's character because there was no background shown. His character lacked depth. It would have been more engaging if the story showed his background and why he became Shaitaan in the first place. Also few scenes were illogical but were ok to be ignored. Overall this is an interesting and intense thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat till the end.

This is one of the best films among marathi films. Excellent writing, acting, direction and story-telling. It is entertaining and also has good social plot that makes it worthy to watch.
