    Fine thriller

    Even though it's main story line is taken from the movie " Gone baby Gone " It's a definitely a good watch.. it has been converted into typical Indian style with a very good screenplay & narration. Best part of the movie is opening the twists in the movie... Well I enjoyed it..

    Nice work

    I think it starts quiet decently and paces along with situation in past and present

    the way they showcased impressed ....well thriller !

    ...sort of bit disappointment in between ...because ...it seems like bit dragging ... but still nice achievement.

    I would say KSHANAM shows there are movies ..to watch ...I wish the team KSHANAM to be success.

    Camera work is impressive

    acting skills are good

    nice choice of the team

    Hope you get noticed through this and provide much more movies . will be waiting for your team .

    ALL THE BEST

    Regards

    Amazing movie to sit-back and watch (suspense entertainer)

    "Kshanam" is one of a kind and top notch movies in the recent past from telugu (Indian) cinema industry. Backing up with an amazing story, screenplay, background and editing altogether merge flawlessly. Leading roles and supporting crew did an astonishing work to fit in to the characters which made "KSHANAM" a top of the list movies in 2016. Although few obvious situations and few flaws towards the end of the movie can be found, as an whole a decent credit should be given to the story. "KSHANAM" has the potential to attract all the ages to the cinemas and might give a lot of support and hope for the low budget and non commercial movies in the telugu industry to gain.

    Kshanam (A) --------- my Rating: ★★★★★ SEAT EDGE THRILLER STRENGTHS:- * Story and Screenplay: excellent script written by Lead actor * Sound effects and Music: some good songs... * Direction: well executed... * Supporting Cast: especially police men..... * Some good performances.... FINAL VERDICT:- * Overall.. it is a perfect thriller in telugu. this type of movies takes industry into next level in intelligence in story telling... Cast has done a good job. Well scripted from start till end, you will be edge of the seat. I bet you will not even predict what is going to come next. I strongly recommend, this must not to be missed.
