Director Sagar K Chandra's Telugu movie Appatlo Okadundevadu, starring Sree Vishnu, Tanya Hope and Nara Rohith, has received positive reviews from the audience.
Appatlo Okadundevadu is an action entertainer, based on real life events that happened between 1992 and 1996 in Hyderabad. The movie is a sort of biopic of an aspiring cricketer, whose destiny turns him into a criminal. Sagar K Chandra has also written the story and screenplay for the film.
Appatlo Okadundevadu revolves around the story of aspiring cricketer Railway Raju (Sree Vishnu), who is part of the Ranji team and later plays a few matches for the India team for two years. But the twist in the tale is that certain issues turn him into a criminal. Police officer Imtiaz Ali (Nara Rohit), who is on hunt for Naxals, arrests Raju in a murder case. What happens next forms the crux of the story of the movie.
Viewers say Appatlo Okadundevadu is an attempt in a new direction, and Sagar K Chandra has chosen a unique story for the film. His screenplay lacks commercial ingredients, but it keeps viewers engaged throughout the movie. The first half has an interesting story, but it suffers from slow-paced narration. The second half is very interesting and is the biggest strength of the film.
Sree Vishnu and Nara Rohith have delivered brilliant performances, which are the highlights of Appatlo Okadundevadu. Tanya Hope has played the female lead and she has done justice to her role. Supporting artistes Rajiv Kanakala, Brahmaji and Sreenivas Reddy are also assets of the movie, say the audience.
Bankrolled by Prashanti and Krishna Vijay, Appatlo Okadundevadu has decent production elements. Sai Karthik's background score, Naveen Yadav's picturisation, Sagar K Chandra's dialogues and Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao's editing are the attractions on the technical front.
