Skanda: The Attacker

I am dissapointed actually..What i liked about this movie is emotional scenes,bgm and mass dialogues..What i dont like is too much gory violence not suitable for family audience,stretched fight scenes too much build up..The villains really make us angry but Rapo Makeover was worst i didnt like it look at all but his scenes were good..Akhanda was my movie of the year 2021 thanks to Balayya acting,Bgm,Songs and Great Directorial by Boyapati..Each frame and dialogues gave us goosebumps with packed dialogues even make enemies stumble..He tried same formula but sorry Rapo it didnt work out well hmm. Please give a proper comeback Rapo and Yes Sreeleela added beauty to movie which was plus..Akhanda 2 must be a comeback for Boyapati..

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The film exhibits a blend of outdated and silly elements alongside some newer, yet equally nonsensical additions to its storyline.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

Boyapati's Paruvu lost and found story where every character, positive or negative screams about it throughout. 2 states CMs are after each other's throat as one's son eloped with the other's daughter. So one has sent men to kill the CM and his, retrieve the daughter in return. Meanwhile, enters Bhaskar Raju with his own mission and at times enters Skanda to kill a bunch. Both of whom are directly targeting the CMs. There is also a businessman accused of murder and his daughter held hostage to force him to stay in prison. How are all these people related and will that paruvu be found infact whose paruvu will be found, forms rest of the story.

It's mindless screenplay and action scenes from the word go with Boyapati giving no respite to his audience. The hero's entry happens late so the supporting characters are introduced first followed by the whole cribbing about losing daughter/paruvu. It simply doesn't make any sense no matter how loud the characters shout in making any sense. It's random set of scenes stitched together without any semblance. It simply gets dragged on till an explosive climax giving a meh twist.

If one hoped for a flashback to make sense which is always the case with all Boyapati films and elevate the stronger lookalike, it is not delivered here. Even if the flashback was silly, there was a chance of saving this mess a little with more clarity to the character of Skanda when he is a lookalike to Bhaskar Raju yet not related to him. Having the film titled as Skanda and not focus the film on this character yet show the arrogance to announce Skanda 2 is nothing but a huge blunder from Boyapati Srinu. There is no point talking about performances, the dialogues too are plain silly and the over the top action scenes lack imagination. Skanda simply ends up as a worst film and that's about it. To be or not to be, says Skanda and one shouldn't wonder why.

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.
