EVOL: A Love Story in Reverse

This is a soft p*rn , the cameraman is for sure a p*rvert. They have tried their best to take shot of the female lead body from every angle. It's an erotic movie with a lame story. The acting is horrible, the story is very bad. At the end of the movie you will be scratching your head as to what happened, who actually died. The rating of this movie is fake so I'm writing this honest review here to save your time from watching this movie which is all about s*x, dru*gs, , couples being ok with cheating and a psycho lady which you will see moaning and showing as having orga*m/pleasure without any reason. At the end director remembered that he needs to add a les*ian scene so that was also added for no reason.

This movie being rated 9.5 is a complete joke. It doesn't deserve even half a star. Everything about it is awful-the acting is laughably bad, the dialogue feels like it was written by a 5-year-old, and the story? Don't even get me started. It's an incoherent mess that drags on forever with no payoff. Every attempt at humor or emotion was so painfully cringy, I wanted to turn it off 10 minutes in. The directing is sloppy, the cinematography is bland, and the soundtrack is obnoxious. Honestly, I can't believe people are hyping this garbage. It's hands-down one of the worst movies I've ever seen. A total insult to anyone who values their time. Save yourself the agony and avoid this catastrophe at all costs.

I watched this movie seeing the high rating on IMDB. But this is one of the worst movie i have ever seen in my life. Acting so bad that even Ekta Kapoor daily soaps feel better. Characters are immensely superficial. At many places, this movie seems so pretentious and cool just for the sake of it. Unnecessary weird camera angles, lighting so bad that every location feels like a cheap.shady bar. I am just amazed if all the 10 out of 10 ratings are paid bots. The non linear narration felt so boring as there were no information revealing agenda. Its just a wanna be cool amateur film. At best its a decent student film. Wasted 2 hours of my life. Highly not recommended.

Innovative and Annoying: A Love-Hate Relationship" Imagine watching a love story unfold in reverse. Now imagine watching it with your head spinning as you try to keep up with a plot that defies logic, characters that feel more like ideas than real people, and a director who seems determined to challenge every rule of cinema. That's EVOL: A Love Story in Reverse, the brainchild of Ram Yogi Velgapudi. And wow, what a ride.

Technically, this film is near-perfect. I've got to hand it to the cinematographer-every shot is stunning, every frame meticulously crafted. The lighting? Brilliant. The sound design? On point. In fact, if we were judging EVOL purely on its technical merits, it'd be a masterpiece. Velgapudi knows how to wield a camera like a painter with a brush. This is the kind of film that film students will study for years to come, marveling at its unconventional style and bold choices.

But here's where I have to be brutally honest: the narrative? A total mess. Watching the story go backward is cool, sure. But the novelty wears off after a while, and what you're left with is a plot that feels more like a puzzle than a cohesive love story. You can tell Velgapudi was going for something deep here-something about the nature of love, loss, and time. But did it work? I'm not so sure.

And yet, I can't bring myself to completely dismiss EVOL. The sheer audacity of its approach demands respect. Telugu cinema rarely sees this level of innovation, and for that alone, Velgapudi deserves applause. He's pushing the boundaries of what a Telugu film can be, and that's no small feat. It's just that in breaking all the rules, he might've forgotten that some rules exist for a reason.

A Daring, Confusing Journey into the Heart of Nothingness" Ram Yogi Velgapudi wants you to know one thing: he's not here to follow the rules. In fact, with EVOL: A Love Story in Reverse, it seems like he went out of his way to break as many as possible. And you know what? That's kind of admirable. But does it make for a good movie? Well, that depends on how much patience you have.

On the technical front, EVOL is a triumph. The cinematography is sleek, modern, and utterly captivating. The camera movements are precise, the lighting is gorgeous, and the overall aesthetic is undeniably cool. If we were judging this movie on style alone, it'd be a 10/10. Velgapudi's team clearly knows their stuff, and they deserve all the credit in the world for creating something so visually striking.

But here's the catch: after you've marveled at the film's technical brilliance, you're left with a narrative that feels... hollow. The reverse storytelling is an interesting gimmick at first, but it quickly becomes more of a headache than a revelation. Instead of feeling engaged by the characters and their journey, I found myself constantly trying to keep track of what was happening (or what had already happened, depending on how you look at it).

It's clear that Velgapudi is trying to say something profound about love and time, but whatever that message is, it gets lost in the film's relentless pursuit of unconventionality. By the end, I wasn't left contemplating the deeper meaning of life-I was just relieved it was over.

And yet, despite my frustrations, I can't entirely hate EVOL. There's something undeniably exciting about watching a filmmaker completely disregard convention and go for broke. Telugu cinema needs more films like this-films that challenge the status quo, that force us to think about what cinema can be. Even if EVOL doesn't quite stick the landing, it's still a fascinating experiment, and for that, it deserves a place in the conversation.
