Skanda

My rating for the storyline of Skanda is 2/10 my rating for the action sequences of Skanda is 6/10

Overall, I would give Skanda a 3/10 rating. While the action sequences were good, the weak and illogical storyline significantly detracted from the overall experience. It seems like a missed opportunity, as the potential for a great movie was there. The director's failure to create a cohesive narrative is a major drawback.

Given the widespread dissatisfaction with the storyline and the overall negative reception, it seems unlikely that we'll see a Skanda 2. It's a shame, as the action sequences showed promise, but a bad first impression can be hard to overcome. Why would anyone invest their time and money in a sequel when the first installment was such a letdown?

"Skanda," directed by Boyapati Srinu, who previously helmed the successful "Akhanda" with Balayya Babu, falls short of expectations. The film follows a routine Telugu storyline, offering nothing fresh or innovative.

One of the film's glaring flaws is its songs and their placements, which are poorly executed, significantly contributing to its downfall. The music by Thaman, known for his high DJ sounds, disappoints once again.

Ram Pothineni does his best in the hero role, especially in portraying a rugged character, but the lack of a compelling storyline and supporting elements hinders his performance.

Sree Leela's presence in the film seems unnecessary, as there's no clear reason for her character's inclusion.

The first half of the movie is relatively better than the second half, which struggles to maintain the audience's interest.

The film hints at a sequel, but given the quality of this installment, it's safe to say that we don't need a "Skanda 2."

The action sequences lack the over-the-top physics typical of Boyapati's older films, which may disappoint fans of his style.

If you're still interested in watching "Skanda," it might be a better choice to do so through an OTT platform, as it fails to live up to the standards set by Boyapati's previous work in "Akhanda."

Skanda is a film directed by Boyapati Sreenu, starring, Ram Pothineni, Sreeleela, Saiee Manjarekar, and others. As the movie is directed by lord Boya, who is a genre himself. The film is a typical early 2000s flick where you can expect many action sequences massy songs, intros etc. To be honest, I liked this film, as I didnt expect much and kept my logical thinking aside. Those who do the same will receive the same output.

Plot is all about drama and action, the story starts with arrest of an industrialist ( Srikanth) accused of killing, betrayal. In the process to get him out from it and prove him innocent the actual story starts. The screenplay , editing , production values were good and worked out for me. Ram as the protagonist rocked it, his dedication and the hard work was truly seen, actress sreeleela, creating sensation in TFI, managed well yet, didn't match the vibe, and talking about others, they're the regular boya defined characters, esp. The antagonists, it felt as if watching a process to kill rather than showing their true powers as suited or allotted to them in the movie.

The songs except 1 doesn't hold the energy and makes the screenplay dull. The exhausted bgm by Thaman produces nothing but noise. Increasing the sond of a track\ score cant be called as a bgm.

Watching the visuals and fights are enough to entertain. Entertainment will definitely be delivered and the 'Mass' will be maintained throughout the movie.

The 1st half was thrilling and fiery, but the moment you enter the 2nd half, you'll be witnessing the routine emotional melodrama with some messages.

Therefore, watching the visuals and fights are enough to get energized.

Verdict As said by the team, its only for the cults, truly a massy ride, the only reason to watch this is RAPO, done playing the roles of cool, cute, etc for a decade, now he has decided to play the roles which portrays him as massy, fiery and it truly suited him. Boyapati's work can be praised this time too.

Sir 10/1 of your movies are good and remaining all the movies are of just torture movies. When you are making some high budget action movies, kindly make a movie which is slightly realistic, natural and interesting movies rather than just killing and killing n killing. "Common man can go and attack chief ministers and their family members and one man can hit 100", Sir you are crossing RGV in making public torture movies since sometime. Actor Ram your face and physic suits much better for a family and romantic movies, once here n there experiment movies are fine but make yourself a action hero.

The film exhibits a blend of outdated and silly elements alongside some newer, yet equally nonsensical additions to its storyline. The screenplay is marred by an abundance of illogical absurdities, while the dialogue delivery induces cringe-worthy moments. The director's approach can be likened to an updated version of himself.

Regrettably, all the actors, be it the main leads, supporting cast, or even the background performers, seem to have indulged in excessive overacting, pushing the boundaries of believability. The fight sequences and action scenes suffer from an excessive and gratuitous display of violence.

Ram manages to impress in one look but falls short of expectations in another. Both Sri Leela and Saiee Manjrekar look average.

On a positive note, the dance sequences featuring Ram and Leela are a highlight of the film. The production quality, cinematography, and background music exhibit commendable craftsmanship, but the songs fail to meet the same standard.

This movie may appeal to those who are willing to overlook its shortcomings, but it's not recommended for viewers seeking a more discerning cinematic experience.
