Nikhil is back with yet another interesting project Ekkadiki Potavu Chinnavada. The horror comedy has hit the screens amidst the currency ban .
Arjun(Nikhil) is a visual effect supervisor with a bad love failure. One fine day, he takes his friend(Vennela Kishore) for treatment as the latter is possessed by an evil spirit. There he meets Nithya(Hebah Patel) and falls in love with her.
The twist in the tale arises when Arjun comes to know that Hebah is also possessed and someone inside her body is making her do all these things.
What is all this confusion ? Who is this Amala ? Why is she behind Arjun ? Is there a back story behind all this ? To know the answers, you need to watch the film on the big screen.
Nikhil is a perfect fit for the film and suits his innocent role completely. The young hero has matured with his performance and should be credited for accepting a film which is story oriented and has importance for heroines.
The last half an hour of the first half is very gripping and ends with a superb interval twist. Nanditha Swetha does a superb job as the spirit as all her expressions and body language elevate the film quite well. Post the interval, the comedy scenes are executed well and full credit should go to Satya and Vennela Kishore who evoke good laughs.
Hebah Patel is decent in her role. The film has some very good moments throughout and the second half is filled with some decent moments with the entry of a special heroine and her love track. The twists that are showcased during this time are quite interesting.
Coming to the director Anand, he has done a pretty good job with the film. His story line is interesting and makes up for an interesting watch with some good twists and turns.
Nikhil has earned himself an image of doing some different films and it is once again proved with Ekkadiki Potavu Chinnavada. The film is really different from the regular horror comedies and has some very interesting moments to watch out for. Decent comedy.
