    Action suspense thriller must watch for weekend

    Overall, Hidimbha presents itself as an action-packed thriller with some thrilling moments. The intriguing backdrop adds to its appeal, although it suffers from a lackluster narration in the first half. The movie gains momentum only during the pre-interval portions, and the second hour provides some engaging sequences. However, it falters in maintaining logical consistency at times, which significantly diminishes its overall impact. Moreover, the film's intense violence may not resonate well with all types of viewers. Consequently, Hidimbha ends up being a passable choice for your weekend movie watch.

    Hidimbha (2023) - A Gripping Mix of History and Excitement

    "Hidimbha," directed by Aneel Kanneganti, is an interesting Telugu thriller that combines history with suspense. In the 2-hour-16-minute film, we follow the story of Abhay (Ashwin Babu) and Aadhya (Nandita Swetha), two investigators in Hyderabad, as they try to solve a series of kidnappings with a connection to India's past.

    Ashwin Babu plays Abhay, a character with a hidden history, and Nandita Swetha is convincing as Aadhya, a cop dealing with childhood trauma. The chemistry between the main characters adds emotion to the story.

    Supported by a talented cast, including Srinivasa Reddy, Vidyullekha Raman, and Makarand Deshpande, the film keeps the suspense high. Director Aneel Kanneganti skillfully blends thriller, action, and history.

    The cinematography by Raja Sekar looks great, and Vikas Badisa's music and Kalyan Chakravarthy's dialogues enhance the overall experience.

    As the investigation unfolds, the film surprises by linking the crimes to a tribal community with a dark past related to the 1857 revolt. This revelation adds depth to the story. The climax, where we learn about Abhay's connection to the criminal, is both shocking and emotional.

    While the film has a few predictable moments and loose ends, "Hidimbha" succeeds in offering a mix of history, crime, and personal drama. It provides a fresh take on historical events, making it a noteworthy addition to the thriller genre.

    In conclusion, "Hidimbha" is a recommended watch for thriller fans who enjoy a unique story that combines history with intense suspense. The engaging plot, strong performances, and visual appeal make it stand out in the genre.

    Excellent Writing - Worth Watching

    It's a suspenseful film. The writing is done well. Complete story and a time killer for sure. Every moment is worth watching. The lead actor did splendid job. Too many stories to watch in a single film. However they dragged it to the ending. The first half of the film was completely unnecessary. It could have been done in 5 to 10 minutes. The era is changing, cinema is changing, instead of being slow paced, showing everything, I like to watch it in short. So that was a flaw in this movie. That was on the writers part. The story had a great potential but it was made long just to increase the duration of the movie. The director did a great job, including the performers. I still cannot figure out a few things shown in the movie. I guess I cannot mention it here. Overall, this movie is worth watching your time. It gets better after the second half. Serious film. I like the visuals and landscapes. A few scenes were similar to Pirates of The Carribbean movie, I don't know if that was intentional or just a coincidence, but I got flashbacks to one of the POTC movie. 6 out of 10 stars from my side.
