Skanda

The director, seemingly stuck in the year 2000, has left me feeling fortunate that I watched this movie on OTT. Now, I can't help but sympathize with those who endured it on the big screen. Each actor appeared to have surpassed the boundaries of overacting, and the plot made no sense whatsoever. Similarly, the director's previous work, "Akhanda," fell into the same unfortunate category, but it managed to ride the coattails of a prevailing trend. It's high time the director and Ram reconsider the stories they choose to pursue. Im truly disheartened, but I have hope that Ram will make a triumphant return to the silver screen with a new movie."

The film exhibits a blend of outdated and silly elements alongside some newer, yet equally nonsensical additions to its storyline.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.

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.

Seriously director is bit educated may be. Just earlier very late movies have bit realistic or good... this is entirely director imaginary fantasy movie bluffed CM positions 🤣🤣.

What a movie ..what a director.. please don't show this movie as blockbuster and to other states and region's... i love telugu and Telugu people.. don't want criticism or make fun of them...

Seriously did this film is a hit. Why to choose this kind of comedy, fantasy content which cannot be related in any way.

Thousands of guns ,bullets cannot harm single person. Where a person can defeat entire battalion, forces every thing... please educated directors don't make fun of us ...

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?
