Story
The story starts off with Sameera (Regina) shooting Ashok (Naveen Chandra). Police come into the scene and it is shown as Ashok Sexually abused Sameera and in Self defense, she had to kill him. Sameera wants to get things settled faster so, she gets a corrupt officer Vikram Vasudev (Adivi Sesh) to investigate and close the case. Was it really a rape attempt? Is she trying to hide something big? Enduku? Ela? Evaru? This forms the rest of the story.
Artiste Performance
Adivi Sesh is a perfect fit for this role. After Kshanam and Goodachari we see him in yet another interesting role. Whether it be comedy, emotions, sarcasm or seriousness, he gets it all into the right place and delivered an amazing performance.
Regina Cassandra gets a very different role. Not like the ones which she had done till now. She gets to play both positive and negative shades does a neat job.
Naveen Chandra too gets a meaty role. He does it with ease. The rest of the cast do the required which adds to the story and proceedings.

Analysis
Kudos to the director as he makes us sit throughout without a boring scene right from the first scene to the last scene.
The moment the Interrogation starts we can't stop guessing what's gonna happen next, who is it and Director's screenplay will be like "Haha! Not yet, Keep guessing". And when finally we get to the conclusion of our guessing "This is it!!" Another twist comes in saying "Haha, It's not What you think" into play. That's how intriguing the screenplay is.
Adivi Sesh and Regina arrest you to screens. The scenes between them are amazing.
The comedy in the movie is very subtle like it just comes and goes. Though there is not much comedy, we are entertained throughout by the racy screenplay. They also have taken care of the runtime keeping it short which made it crisp and is a perfect runtime for movies that fall under this genre.
The Pre interval twist and the climax are major highlights in the movie and provide a perfect "I didn't see that coming" twist reveal moment. Especially the last 20 mins. In the Last 20 minutes of the movie, the way they reveal the twists will leave you in awe.
(MY) Final Word
The movie offers an edge-of-the-seat thriller experience. It is racy and intriguing. Altogether this is one of the best Murder Mystery thrillers in recent times. If you are looking out for a thriller this Long weekend, Go for it!
Bottom line: "Evaru" Miss avakandi
Note: Note: This is my take on the movie. That is why I am not rating the movie. I respect each and every movie. Making people read my review and influencing them to form an impression of a movie before watching the movie is never my intention. I am a Movie lover too. This is just to express my view on the movie. 😊
