Brinda (2024)
South Indian modified version of ASUR
First of all this webseries made me sit through till the end.
Positives:
1) Unique story line
2) Trisha
3) All actors and actresses performed well
Negatives:
1)Screenplay is routine as it is similar to many serial killer webseries. Those who have seen many serial killer films might not find it interesting
2)Villain should have been revealed at the end. Even though he was revealed after 6episodes
3)These types of formats need lot of gripping chase sequences or action set pieces. If they are there , it could have been a different level similar to ratsasan
4)More layers should have been added to Trisha's characterisation. Somehow even though she appears intelligent , her character is more like a detective rather than a dynamic police officer.
Shakhahaari (2024)
Not worthy of time for a full length feature film-It could have been a great short film
When I heard good reviews about this film, I watched the film with good expectations but it turned out to be an average predictable thriller. Film started with good opening sequence which will hook us with few interesting sequences. But after 45 minutes into the film , we will understand that entire plot revolves around few limited characters with one or two locations with no progress in the story. However movie enters into little bit of suspense with few proceedings in the end leading to a climax with no benefit to any of the lead characters.
Bottom line : It could have been a great short film since the plot is wafer thin and good performances delivered by all the actors.
Inspector Rishi (2024)
A slow burning engaging Investigative thriller with a horror background
This series follows Inspector Rishi , a detective/officer, investigating mysterious deaths in a village. A series of incidents happen with respect to forrest spirit. Inspector Rishi with his analytical capacity solved the mystery.
Initial proceedings are slow , it takes time in world building. Each and every character was given a character arc. The duration of the episode is also less unlike many episodes which last for an hour.
The spooky forest setting is more than just a background; it plays a very important role in this webseries . The cinematography excellently captures the natural beauty and haunting atmosphere.
Saindhav (2024)
Action packed with emotion
Similar to Liam Neeson kind of action film with emotion. These kind of films need to be encouraged to save Telugu film industry.
The movie takes time in establishing father daughter relationship initially and then plunges into the story.
The scale of the film is huge one can think of numerous ways it can be done.since the action set pieces are the heart of the film.
The main villain of the film is Music director Santosh Narayanan who failed to elevate the well directed scenes with a one of the senior heroes of tollywood industry. Of course he did an average work but few scenes demanded next level of music to bring goosebumps.
