Arjun Reddy has created a superb buzz for itself from the past few days.
Arjun Reddy(Vijay Devarakonda) is a short tempered medical college student who falls in love with his junior Preeti(Shalini). The couple shares a very close relationship for years but later break up as Preeti’s dad gets her married to a boy in her caste.
This leaves a very strong and brutal impression on Arjun Reddy who becomes an alcoholic and drug addict.
Arjun Reddy is surely a celebration of sadness. The breakup story of the hero is showcased in such a dark manner that it has never been touched in Telugu films before.
Vijay Devarakonda stuns you with his performance which is surely award winning. The way he brings the pathos and pain in his character is something else and drives the film completely. His dialogue delivery, the aggression he shows and the emotional manner in which he showcases his love is superb.
Debutante Shalini is also impressive and does her role perfectly. Special mention should go to Rahul Ramakrishna who plays the hero’s close friend..
The first half is quite aggressive and showcases the love story in a very interesting manner. The medical college scenes and the way Vijay behaves post his break up have been written well.
The film is high on technical aspects and has some superb production values. Camera work is neat as it showcases the pain and depth in the proceedings in a gripping manner.
Coming to the director Sandeep, he makes a rocking debut with Arjun Reddy. His writing is slick and the way he showcased Vijay’s role is just awesome.
Arjun Reddy is a new age Telugu cinema which has never been attempted before. It is intense, hard-hitting and quite adulterated with its intent.
People who like different films and can bear this.
