Director Teja, once known for his fresh and innovative romantic films such as Chitram and Jayam, appears to be stuck in a time warp with his latest film Ahimsa. The film suffers from a lack of evolution and fails to resonate with the contemporary audience.
Teja's characters in Ahimsa dress, speak, and behave in a manner reminiscent of his early films from the early 2000s. This dated approach fails to connect with the current generation of viewers, who are looking for more relatable and modern storytelling. The narrative itself feels trapped in a bygone era, making the viewing experience tiresome and uninspiring.
While there are moments in Ahimsa where one hopes for a shift in momentum and an injection of interest, unfortunately, the film fails to deliver on these expectations. The story and narrative remain stagnant, lacking the freshness and relevance needed to captivate the audience. This failure to evolve with the times leaves Ahimsa feeling disconnected from the contemporary world, a missed opportunity to engage and resonate with viewers.
Ultimately, Ahimsa suffers from a lack of progression in both its storytelling and character portrayal. Director Teja's inability to adapt his style to the changing tastes and preferences of the audience results in a film that feels trapped in a time capsule. While some viewers may find nostalgia in Teja's approach, for many, it fails to offer the excitement and innovation expected from a contemporary film.
