Story:
As shown in the teaser and trailer of this film, Satyabhama faces many problems in a single day. Her husband’s health condition, pressure from her mother-in-law, her parents getting caught in the floods, and not getting the money she needed on time. But during such problems, why did Satyabhama contact the police? What happened to make the police come? Was someone killed? Or did they commit suicide? Has the real Satyabhama’s problems been solved? Shivangi’s film answers many such questions.
Actors’ performance:
We have seen Anandi’s performance in many films in the past as Satyabhama. Similarly, in this film too, Anandi has proven herself once again by creating her own mark. She appears throughout the film and the audience is captivated by her acting in her own style without getting bored anywhere. She appears in only two sarees throughout the film without any grammar show and acts very well with her dialogues. Similarly, despite having acted in many films in the past as a police officer, Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar has shown that she has a different acting style with her Telangana accent in this film. Similarly, John Vijay and Koya Kishore, who acted in the film, acted within their own scope to make their mark visible even though their screen time was less.
Technical Analysis:
It is very clear when you watch your film that how much care Devraj Bharani Dharan has taken in writing and directing. When the same person is seen on the screen most of the time, the audience usually feels bored. But while watching this movie, the audience does not need to feel bored anywhere. The story progresses in a very intensified manner. The director has made sure that the screenplay comes out in a way that the audience watches this movie with great interest, with a doubt as to whether what is actually happening is real or not. Similarly, since the location is in the same place, it is understood that the producer has paid special attention to this movie with foresight without compromising on the production values, so that the quality vote is high in that beloved location. Since the entire movie is in the same place, it is clear that art director Raghu Kulkarni has taken care to ensure that there is good action in every background. The coloring and other production values have been excellent. Although the movie is very interesting throughout, the music director has provided a good background score for each scene to further increase the audience’s interest.
There is no vulgarity or double meaning dialogue anywhere in the film, it is a very decent family-friendly film. Even though a woman faces many problems at the same time, how did she face those problems, at what time and with what precautions did she respond in what way, and how did she solve those problems? This film is a good answer to the questions.
