Rating: 1/5
Just as cats love to play with their prey, the villainous Naga Chaitanya and Savyasachi of R Madhavan like to play with the man that he is about to hunt. This meeting is the central plot of the film and its most interesting aspect.
Naga Chaitanya plays Vikram, a man suffering from an interesting disease. His left hand acts on his own when Vikram experiences high emotions. This is explained in the film as a twin that formed in the womb of the mother, but could not do so after the first trimester. Thus, the soul of the twin lives in Vikram's left hand and his family calls him Aditya. It's a weird feature, which is used as a crutch that the movie needed to explain the huge holes in the writing. If not, how could you explain to a man who has been hit several times with an iron bar and still survives? The "brother" hand comes to the rescue, of course
This strange situation is also a source of inappropriate comic relief in the first half of the year. For example, his hand pats the back of women "without" permission and the drama ensues. He falls in love with a young college student, Chitra (Niddhi Aggerwal), and the hand does the same by patting. But when Chitra gets harbaded by other old people, Vikram is his savior who gives dialogues like this: "When the hero makes a girl cry, she risks falling for him". There are other jewels such as: "When the girl likes you to pursue her, it's her romance. When she does not like it, it's violence.
R Madhavan as Arun Raj plays the man with a twisted mind. While Madhavan has tried to imbue the character with the most appropriate level of madness, Arun Raj lacks dimension. He is unnecessarily strong and his introduction lacks punch. Yet the scenes between Arun Raj and his sincere badistant Nandakishore are more fascinating than the entire film. A psychopath who treats his honest badistant with respect must have a fascinating story, right? But in Savyasachi, all that Arun wants is to take revenge on all who respect him. This back-to-back part is the most written part of the film. This is also the part where the dubbing of Madhavan is not synchronized at all.
Telugu's first Niddhi Aggerwal film only used it to entertain the audience with dance and songs, and to add romance to the mix. Take it out of the movie and nothing will change. The film hangs out unnecessarily at first, because the director is more invested in telling the story of love.
In the end, it's a movie that even Madhavan can not improve. Here's an honest question for the makers: why make a movie that looks like a joke, even on paper?
