EVOL: A Love Story in Reverse

This movie being rated 9.5 is a complete joke. It doesn't deserve even half a star. Everything about it is awful-the acting is laughably bad, the dialogue feels like it was written by a 5-year-old, and the story? Don't even get me started. It's an incoherent mess that drags on forever with no payoff. Every attempt at humor or emotion was so painfully cringy, I wanted to turn it off 10 minutes in. The directing is sloppy, the cinematography is bland, and the soundtrack is obnoxious. Honestly, I can't believe people are hyping this garbage. It's hands-down one of the worst movies I've ever seen. A total insult to anyone who values their time. Save yourself the agony and avoid this catastrophe at all costs.

A Daring, Confusing Journey into the Heart of Nothingness" Ram Yogi Velgapudi wants you to know one thing: he's not here to follow the rules. In fact, with EVOL: A Love Story in Reverse, it seems like he went out of his way to break as many as possible. And you know what? That's kind of admirable. But does it make for a good movie? Well, that depends on how much patience you have.

On the technical front, EVOL is a triumph. The cinematography is sleek, modern, and utterly captivating. The camera movements are precise, the lighting is gorgeous, and the overall aesthetic is undeniably cool. If we were judging this movie on style alone, it'd be a 10/10. Velgapudi's team clearly knows their stuff, and they deserve all the credit in the world for creating something so visually striking.

But here's the catch: after you've marveled at the film's technical brilliance, you're left with a narrative that feels... hollow. The reverse storytelling is an interesting gimmick at first, but it quickly becomes more of a headache than a revelation. Instead of feeling engaged by the characters and their journey, I found myself constantly trying to keep track of what was happening (or what had already happened, depending on how you look at it).

It's clear that Velgapudi is trying to say something profound about love and time, but whatever that message is, it gets lost in the film's relentless pursuit of unconventionality. By the end, I wasn't left contemplating the deeper meaning of life-I was just relieved it was over.

And yet, despite my frustrations, I can't entirely hate EVOL. There's something undeniably exciting about watching a filmmaker completely disregard convention and go for broke. Telugu cinema needs more films like this-films that challenge the status quo, that force us to think about what cinema can be. Even if EVOL doesn't quite stick the landing, it's still a fascinating experiment, and for that, it deserves a place in the conversation.

Ram Yogi Velgapudi is clearly a man on a mission with EVOL: A Love Story in Reverse. He's out to shake up Telugu cinema, and boy, does he succeed. This film is like nothing you've ever seen before-at least, not in this part of the world. It's daring, it's bold, and it's determined to break every rule in the book. But does breaking the rules make for a good film? That's the question.

Visually, this movie is a stunner. The cinematography is absolutely gorgeous, with every shot carefully composed to perfection. The lighting is moody, the colors are rich, and the whole thing feels like a masterclass in technical filmmaking. Velgapudi's team has created a visual experience that's nothing short of breathtaking, and for that alone, the film deserves praise.

But when it comes to the story... well, that's another matter. The reverse narrative structure is interesting at first, but it quickly becomes frustrating. I get that Velgapudi is trying to do something different here, but the problem with breaking all the rules is that sometimes the rules are there for a reason. Watching a love story unfold in reverse is cool in theory, but in practice, it left me feeling disconnected from the characters and their emotions.

And yet, despite its flaws, I can't help but admire EVOL. Velgapudi is taking risks, and that's something Telugu cinema desperately needs. He's not afraid to push the boundaries, to challenge our expectations, and to create something truly unique. Even if the film doesn't always work, it's exciting to see a filmmaker willing to take such big swings.

So, is EVOL a perfect film? No. But is it an important one? Absolutely. If you're tired of the same old formulaic love stories, give this one a shot. It might not be for everyone, but it's definitely a film worth talking about.

A Cinematic Experiment You'll Either Love or Hate" Ram Yogi Velgapudi's EVOL: A Love Story in Reverse is exactly what it claims to be-an experiment. And like most experiments, there's a chance it could fail. But here's the kicker: it doesn't. At least, not entirely.

The film's strength lies in its technical mastery. The camera work is slick, the editing precise, and the reverse storytelling is an interesting gimmick... for a while. You can tell that every shot, every scene, was meticulously crafted. Velgapudi clearly knows his way around a camera. The way he plays with light and shadow? It's gorgeous. You could watch the film on mute and still be impressed. The technical team deserves a standing ovation.

But here's the thing: if you strip away the pretty visuals and the reverse narrative trickery, what's left? Not much. The story, as far as I can tell, is supposed to be a deconstruction of love. But instead of feeling moved, I just felt... disoriented. The characters, despite their best efforts, are more like chess pieces in Velgapudi's grand game of "how many rules can I break before the audience gives up?"

And yet, there's something to be said for the sheer audacity of the project. Telugu cinema needs more films like this-films that aren't afraid to take risks. Velgapudi dares to do what most filmmakers wouldn't even consider: throwing every conventional rule of storytelling out the window. It's a bold move. But is bold enough?

Ultimately, EVOL is a film for cinephiles who love to dissect every frame, every choice, every unconventional beat. If you're one of those people, you'll probably walk out of the theater proclaiming Velgapudi a genius. If you're not, you'll walk out wondering what in the world you just watched.

This is a soft p*rn , the cameraman is for sure a p*rvert. They have tried their best to take shot of the female lead body from every angle. It's an erotic movie with a lame story. The acting is horrible, the story is very bad. At the end of the movie you will be scratching your head as to what happened, who actually died. The rating of this movie is fake so I'm writing this honest review here to save your time from watching this movie which is all about s*x, dru*gs, , couples being ok with cheating and a psycho lady which you will see moaning and showing as having orga*m/pleasure without any reason. At the end director remembered that he needs to add a les*ian scene so that was also added for no reason.
