Srikanth

Srikanth" is a biographical drama that tells the inspiring story of Srikanth Bolla, a visually impaired industrialist. The film follows his journey from a small village to the heights of success, overcoming societal barriers and challenges. Rajkummar Rao delivers a standout performance, with the supporting cast adding depth to the narrative. However, the film's formulaic structure, lack of nuance in certain areas, and a rushed ending may not appeal to those seeking a more unconventional narrative. Overall, "Srikanth" is a film that will leave you inspired, with a story worth telling and performances worth applauding, but it falls short in some areas, earning it a 3 out of 5 stars.

This is a really nice film but falls way short of being a brilliant one .

The film traces the journey of Shrikanth Bolla, who is a blind person but with superb grit and vigour in him . He is a person not interested in getting sympathy for his disability . He is a person who believes he can do everything.

Rajkumar Rao as Srikanth is terrific. He completely gets into the character of Srikanth and gives an authentic and natural performance. Some of his dialogues can make you laugh while some while make you emotional. The good thing about the film is that it doesn't get boring anytime thanks to an interesting narrative style and some amazing moments of Srikanth .

Jyothika , just coming out of a terrific performance in Shaitaan , shines even further in this film as Srikanth's guardian . Her character gets to portray a greater range than in Shaitaan . Sharad Kelkar too does a good job while the others have also done a fabulous job (atleast Aleya F gets a better role here than her previous horrendous outing BMCM).

However , there are problems. In an attempt to keep the film to just 2hr 15 mins, the makers have hastily skimmed through all chapters of Srikanth's life . They don't allow any sequence or scene to settle in your mind properly . Due to this, the film won't actually leave a lasting impact on you . I almost felt I was just watching the highlights of Srikanth's life .

The second half dips as well when Srikanth gets involved in politics . All those parts felt a bit half baked . Nevertheless, the film revives itself in the climax . In fact many things in this film is treated in a way too generic manner , almost showing Srikanth ending up winning in every place .

The song PAPA KEHTE HAI works so well in the film . Remaining songs are okayish and only present only to serve the romantic purpose of Srikanth .

Overall, this is a good film and you can easily watch it in theatres.

Hats off to Rajkumar Rao's portrayal of Srikanth Bolla; he completely delves into the character. The remaining cast, including Jyothika, Sharad Kelkar, and Alaya F, also deliver great performances. The movie is truly inspiring, showcasing how a disabled person achieved so much through determination and willpower. The pacing keeps the audience engaged, although Srikanth's entire life being compressed into 2 hours and 14 minutes makes some scenes feel rushed. The film also explores the negative attitudes/mindset he faces and his realizations later. In short, it's a great movie and I recommend everyone to watch this movie atleast once as it is one of the best inspirational biopic after 12th Fail.

'Srikanth' is like a beacon of inspiration on the big screen, thanks to director Tushar Hiranandani's masterful storytelling. He brings Srikanth Bolla's exceptional and mind-blowing journey to life with such authenticity that you can't help but be moved! 🌟

Right from the start, the film hooks you with its gripping screenplay, taking you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. But these tears? They're tears of triumph, not sadness. Hats off to the director and the cast for making the viewers feel every emotion so deeply! 👏

Rajkummar Rao steals the show with his incredible performance, showcasing his versatility once again. Playing a blind character isn't easy, but he nails it, reminding us of his brilliance in 'Trapped' and 'CityLights'. Jyotika is a powerhouse of talent, adding layers of depth to her character effortlessly. And not to forget Sharad Kelkar and Alaya F, they shine in their roles too! 🎭

'Srikanth' isn't just a movie, it's a reminder to dream big and never give up. If Srikanth can do it, so can we! So, grab your popcorn and get ready to be inspired. This one's a sure shot winner!🎬

As far as acting is concerned Rajkumar Rao never disappoints and Srikanth is no exception. A very nice movie with great actors including Rajkumar Rao, Sharad Kelkar, jyothika, Alaya F and a great direction. It seems the movie finished in a blink of eye. There was not a single moment which can be said to be boring.

The movie generates various emotions right from being ambitious, daring, creative, modest. Enacting a blind person is not easy but Rajkumar Rao nailed it. Jyothika's acting is very natural and flawless. Sharad kelkar as usual performs great. Overall it is a great movie and a must watch. It's great to see such brilliantly acted movies with a nice story and message nowadays.
