Analysis
Director Starts the movie on an interesting note. After the first 10 minutes it changes into a rom-com narrative showing the love scenes between the leads. A song here could have been chopped off to make the movie a little racy.
Once the conflict arises, Till interval the movie is racy and engaging. Pre Interval Sequence and Interval Episode are excellently handled.
Second half pace is slow. Few dull moments may bore the Audience but an engaging episode of the protagonist breaking down the scam is shown in an interesting way. This is one of the highlight.
Action sequnces in the movie are very nice. Pre climax portions give you a high. Without maintaining it the movie ends abruptly. Adding a scene or two showing what happens next would have added much to the movie.
Cinematography is big asset to the movie. Visuals are awesome. Editing is fine. Background score is Ok.
(MY) Final Word
Arjun Suravaram gives you a commercial movie experience with an underlying message packed in it. It does justice to the crime conflict, thrilling moments and delivering message. Leaving few dull moments in second half Arjun Suravaram ends up as Gripping Crime Thriller.
Bottomline: Arjun Suravaram - Intriguing Investigation
