#KISMAT 2024 - Tragic movie. The way of 3 friends who are wait to change their destiny. On the whole, Kismat unfolds as a routine crime drama with a lackluster screenplay despite commendable performances from the lead cast. Kismat Telugu Movie: Artists Review
The casting is nearly set for this crime comedy thriller. All lead actors Naresh Agastya, Abhinav Gomatam, and Viswadev Rachakonda deliver commendable performances. Among them, Abhinav Gomatam stands out. He displayed impeccable comedic timing and delivering witty one-liners. Ajay Ghosh and Temper Vamsi make their mark with desired performances. Riya Suman character didn't have much scope to do. Srinivas Avasarala is wasted in a poorly written role. Others did as per requirements. Kismat Telugu Film: Technicians Review
Kismat plot has everything to entertain and to churn out an out and out laugh riot. But, the writer and director Srinath missed an opportunity by failing in writing a compelling screenplay, which could have otherwise transformed Kismat into an entertaining experience. The story is enough to make it a crowd pleasing film but the problem lies in its sluggish presentation. Kismat lacks the crisp storytelling typically associated with crime comedies, and a more engaging screenplay could have made the film more compelling.
The excessive characters also prove to be a drawback. For example, the improbable scenario of an HR person falling in love with an interview candidate over coffee and joining him in a crime didn't gel well with the plot. Additionally, Riya Suman's screen presence is very limited. The initial sluggish pace of the first half creeps into the second too. Introducing unnecessary drama for the sake of comedy and suspense backfired. Despite a crisp runtime, the film becomes tedious. Srinivas Avasarala's role, alongside Riya Suman's, adds little value to the overall narrative.
Mark K Robin's music and the cinematography, impresses to some extent but fails to create a lasting impression. Editing by Viplav could have been more sharp, and production values meet the expected standard, but there is a lot of room for improvement.
