Srikanth: Aa Raha Hai Sabki Aankhein Kholne

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.

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.

As far as acting is concerned Rajkumar Rao never disappoints and Srikanth is no exception. A very nice movie with great actors including Rajkumar Rao, Sharad Kelkar, jyothika, Alaya F and a great direction. It seems the movie finished in a blink of eye. There was not a single moment which can be said to be boring.

The movie generates various emotions right from being ambitious, daring, creative, modest. Enacting a blind person is not easy but Rajkumar Rao nailed it. Jyothika's acting is very natural and flawless. Sharad kelkar as usual performs great. Overall it is a great movie and a must watch. It's great to see such brilliantly acted movies with a nice story and message nowadays.

Srikanth is a biography drama film directed by tushar hiranandani.

The biggest victory of the film is rajkummar rao. He is outstanding in the film. The way he has carried the mannerisms of a blind man in the film is outstanding. No wonder the man is the recipient of so many awards. Jyotika too, gives a solid performance, despite her character is paper thin. Same is the case with sharad kelkar. The acting in the film is solid.

The message is loud and clear, its a good thing. But sometimes, the film goes overboard with its messaging. Every other scene is used as a ladder for srikanth to climb, and that too very easily. This leads to a lack of conflict in the film. The screenplay is otherwise engaging. The music is good. And the cinematography too. The film also suffers in the first half, due to its highlights reel approach. There is little to no breathing space between the scenes. The screenplay is rushed with no time to film srikanth's inner turmoil.

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.
