Srikanth: Aa Raha Hai Sabki Aankhein Kholne

Passey Reviews 🎥🍿

'Srikanth' is like a beacon of inspiration on the big screen, thanks to director Tushar Hiranandani's masterful storytelling. He brings Srikanth Bolla's exceptional and mind-blowing journey to life with such authenticity that you can't help but be moved! 🌟

Right from the start, the film hooks you with its gripping screenplay, taking you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. But these tears? They're tears of triumph, not sadness. Hats off to the director and the cast for making the viewers feel every emotion so deeply! 👏

Rajkummar Rao steals the show with his incredible performance, showcasing his versatility once again. Playing a blind character isn't easy, but he nails it, reminding us of his brilliance in 'Trapped' and 'CityLights'. Jyotika is a powerhouse of talent, adding layers of depth to her character effortlessly. And not to forget Sharad Kelkar and Alaya F, they shine in their roles too! 🎭

'Srikanth' isn't just a movie, it's a reminder to dream big and never give up. If Srikanth can do it, so can we! So, grab your popcorn and get ready to be inspired. This one's a sure shot winner!🎬

First of all, I am glad we are making such inspiring and educational movies. Honestly, I had no idea about Srikanth Bolla before this movie. Now, I am so impressed with him who is still in his early 30's.

The problem with the movie is, the writers just got side-tracked. One of the very important characters, the teacher Devika, was totally ignored. She existed because Srikanth existed. What about her own life? A person who did so much for a blind person had no life? No family. No job. No feelings. Just nothing. It's like she was a pawn who was used whenever needed. Also, looks like she never got old with time.

About Srikanth. Rajkumar Rao did a great job, but it was a movie. It looks like he (or the director) was too focused on the acting side, which included too many close-ups and his facial movements.

The romantic side of the movie is also lacking. When you have a young girl in India who connects with a blind man in the US, and it lasts for 10 years, you really have to make the audience feel the love. Nope. Not in this movie.

Instead, the writers spent time on clever arguments. The airport scene was a very long scene. I was hoping they would have emphasized some other characters, like his own parents, who are treated as guest artists.

The ending was a bit too fast too. I guess they ran out of time with all those slow and unnecessary scenes.

But,. It was a good movie overall and worth watching, especially with the family.

Hats off to Rajkumar Rao's portrayal of Srikanth Bolla; he completely delves into the character. The remaining cast, including Jyothika, Sharad Kelkar, and Alaya F, also deliver great performances. The movie is truly inspiring, showcasing how a disabled person achieved so much through determination and willpower. The pacing keeps the audience engaged, although Srikanth's entire life being compressed into 2 hours and 14 minutes makes some scenes feel rushed. The film also explores the negative attitudes/mindset he faces and his realizations later. In short, it's a great movie and I recommend everyone to watch this movie atleast once as it is one of the best inspirational biopic after 12th Fail.

Take an example of "BLACK" where every scene was jaw dropping ,you are on the edge of the seat, made your eyes moist and you flowed with the story. However, despite of Raj Kumar Rao's stunning performance the movie falls short on creating conflicts ,falls short on creating "Everything is lost moment", the minor conflict comes almost at the end of the movie where srikkanth goes down the slippery lane, and that too seems forced (As the movie is inspired by a real story,not sure whether that part is a cinematic liberty or a real story..but looks forced on the screen). Except Rajkumar all other have been given no character arch at all and that creates lack of sympathy.

Although its a good one time watch, Very well inspiring story has been undercooked in my opinion.

Srikanth" is a biographical drama that tells the inspiring story of Srikanth Bolla, a visually impaired industrialist. The film follows his journey from a small village to the heights of success, overcoming societal barriers and challenges. Rajkummar Rao delivers a standout performance, with the supporting cast adding depth to the narrative. However, the film's formulaic structure, lack of nuance in certain areas, and a rushed ending may not appeal to those seeking a more unconventional narrative. Overall, "Srikanth" is a film that will leave you inspired, with a story worth telling and performances worth applauding, but it falls short in some areas, earning it a 3 out of 5 stars.
