He gets tangled in issues involving her family and Munu Swamy (Jagapathi Babu). He starts killing his brothers one after the other. The reason behind these killings the crux of the story.

Analysis: Sakshyam has a brilliant concept that has never been explored in the Telugu film industry. Director Sriwass has excuted it in an engaging and entertaining way on screen, say the audience.

Performances: Bellamkonda Sreenivas has done lot of hard for Sakshyam and it is clearly visible in his performance, which is highlight of the movie.

#Sakshyam -Conceptualised Commercial Entertainer with good Action episodes. #HarshavardhanRameshwar's Terrific BGM is big strength of the film. Hero @BSaiSreenivas has improved & did justice to his role. @hegdepooja was beautiful. Should work for Mass audience. #Watchable.

#CheliyaChoode is a mass number and @BSaiSreenivas is good with amazing dance moves #Saakshyam first half - extremely engaging with brilliant music, bgm. A perfect interval block with nature as it's prime witness and the plot unfolds #IshqKarle song has striking visuals shot on the backdrop of Grand Canyon The #Varanasi episode is just mind blowing with nature as fire. This particular scene should not be missed at all #Saakshyam is a perfect blend of a conceptualised commercial film. Great story, stunning performances, outstanding background music, top notch cinematography and out of all, a remarkable direction.

RV @indiarv1

Except #bgm in few action scenes,nothing new , interesting. Pooja wasted .Not even single comedy scene/ dialogue till now , director didn't utilised @vennelakishore much .But movie line is very impressive. hope atleast they will stick to that content in 2nd half #Saakshyam They could have trimmed all songs . Not even a single song is impressive in entire movie . 2nd half has some few good scenes . Not a worthy watch. As usual it's #bellambabu RICH film #Saakshyam

Karthik‏ @HeIsKARTHIK

#Saakshyam - (2.25/5) Wrongly Executed Fantasy-Visual Thriller The way nature is interlinked with Hero remainds us more of Devotional flicks. Rich Cinematography but, few Uninteresting scenes Mess-up. In all, has its moments but they're short-lived. UNCONVINCING..!

‏ @KodelaDeepak

Ultra Rich Production Values. #Saakshyam Personally I felt it is average to okay movie for a Commercial genre. Script and Action episodes good. Narration ordinary. Songs placement bad. B&C choodochu. #Saakshyam
