Hidimbha

It's a suspenseful film. The writing is done well. Complete story and a time killer for sure. Every moment is worth watching. The lead actor did splendid job. Too many stories to watch in a single film. However they dragged it to the ending. The first half of the film was completely unnecessary. It could have been done in 5 to 10 minutes. The era is changing, cinema is changing, instead of being slow paced, showing everything, I like to watch it in short. So that was a flaw in this movie. That was on the writers part. The story had a great potential but it was made long just to increase the duration of the movie. The director did a great job, including the performers. I still cannot figure out a few things shown in the movie. I guess I cannot mention it here. Overall, this movie is worth watching your time. It gets better after the second half. Serious film. I like the visuals and landscapes. A few scenes were similar to Pirates of The Carribbean movie, I don't know if that was intentional or just a coincidence, but I got flashbacks to one of the POTC movie. 6 out of 10 stars from my side.

The second hour holds the key as this is where the film enters the main plot. Things become interesting once the flashback portions start, and the way a crucial backstory is narrated is good. Though the narrative style looks a bit similar to Karthi's Khakee in the flashback scenes, it still holds one's attention thanks to the captivating visuals.

The main twist which comes in the pre-climax is decent. Ashwin Babu shines in an action avatar. The actor did a pretty good job in Hidimbha, and his intense hard work to look fit for the cop role is appreciable. Nandita Sweta gets a meaty role, and the actress does well. Her character is essential to the film's story and is not restricted to songs merely.

Makarand Deshpande does a superb job in the negative role. His role is pretty well written, and the entire second half revolves around him. The way he looks and exhibits wickedness is one of the biggest strengths of the film.

Good concept and a must watch for movie lovers. Movie was successful in glueing me to the seat and was a nerve chilling experience ,personally liked the intensity at the actors that was carried through out the movie. Huge fan of makran D ,his performance was out standing . Location were and sets was good , dialogues and music was apt per the situation , Movie is a masterclass in its genre ,. It's a new defination of thriller ,hope to see more of these. Finally hats off to the director Aneel Kanneganti and team who has a great vision in getting and making it realistic . Wish to see more of the master class .Well done team Hidimbha!!!

"Hidimbha," directed by Aneel Kanneganti, is an interesting Telugu thriller that combines history with suspense. In the 2-hour-16-minute film, we follow the story of Abhay (Ashwin Babu) and Aadhya (Nandita Swetha), two investigators in Hyderabad, as they try to solve a series of kidnappings with a connection to India's past.

Ashwin Babu plays Abhay, a character with a hidden history, and Nandita Swetha is convincing as Aadhya, a cop dealing with childhood trauma. The chemistry between the main characters adds emotion to the story.

Supported by a talented cast, including Srinivasa Reddy, Vidyullekha Raman, and Makarand Deshpande, the film keeps the suspense high. Director Aneel Kanneganti skillfully blends thriller, action, and history.

The cinematography by Raja Sekar looks great, and Vikas Badisa's music and Kalyan Chakravarthy's dialogues enhance the overall experience.

As the investigation unfolds, the film surprises by linking the crimes to a tribal community with a dark past related to the 1857 revolt. This revelation adds depth to the story. The climax, where we learn about Abhay's connection to the criminal, is both shocking and emotional.

While the film has a few predictable moments and loose ends, "Hidimbha" succeeds in offering a mix of history, crime, and personal drama. It provides a fresh take on historical events, making it a noteworthy addition to the thriller genre.

In conclusion, "Hidimbha" is a recommended watch for thriller fans who enjoy a unique story that combines history with intense suspense. The engaging plot, strong performances, and visual appeal make it stand out in the genre.
