Kshanam (2016) :
Brief Review -
An instantly believable thriller nicely blended with emotional quotient. An Adivi Sesh trademark! Kshnam has been remade in 3 languages so far and watching the original after like 5 years Post its release was meant to take away a bit of impact. Generally, this doesn't happen to me because i have seen many original films after watching the remade versions but with this film it was bit different. I remember watching Baaghi 2 FDFS and was blown away by such a good storyline in highly commercial action-packed bollywood film. Then, i learnt that it was a remake of Kshanam so of course the credit is due here. Kshanam is not out an out action film but that's why it is very reliable and believable. Rishi, a non-resident Indian, returns to India to help his ex-lover find her kidnapped daughter. The deeper he goes into the search, the more secrets and mess is found waiting for him. The film has a runtime of around 2 hours but those thrilling moments actually appear only in last 30 minutes. It has few twists in the first half but that too just before the interval point. This dragging before real thrills has hurt the film. It can be said that the drags or should i say ordinary scenes have been used intentionally just to provide enough anticipation for those unpredictable twists in the end but still in repeat viewing who cares about it? Excluding this one fault Kshanam doesn't go wrong anywhere. It keeps you on edge of your seats and has enough wow elements to surprise you. Adivi Sesh and Anasuya Bharadwaj are fantastic in their roles whereas Adah Sharma looks gorgeous in every scene. Ravikanth Perepu keeps the film simple and close to reality rather than going for unrealistic mass elements like action and explosion. Overall, a Solid Mysterios ride.
RATING - 7.5/10*

"Kshanam" is one of a kind and top notch movies in the recent past from telugu (Indian) cinema industry. Backing up with an amazing story, screenplay, background and editing altogether merge flawlessly. Leading roles and supporting crew did an astonishing work to fit in to the characters which made "KSHANAM" a top of the list movies in 2016. Although few obvious situations and few flaws towards the end of the movie can be found, as an whole a decent credit should be given to the story. "KSHANAM" has the potential to attract all the ages to the cinemas and might give a lot of support and hope for the low budget and non commercial movies in the telugu industry to gain.
Even though it's main story line is taken from the movie " Gone baby Gone "
It's a definitely a good watch.. it has been converted into typical Indian style with a very good screenplay & narration.
Best part of the movie is opening the twists in the movie...
Well I enjoyed it..
I think it starts quiet decently and paces along with situation in past and present
the way they showcased impressed ....well thriller !
...sort of bit disappointment in between ...because ...it seems like bit dragging ... but still nice achievement.
I would say KSHANAM shows there are movies ..to watch ...I wish the team KSHANAM to be success.
Camera work is impressive
acting skills are good
nice choice of the team
Hope you get noticed through this and provide much more movies . will be waiting for your team .
ALL THE BEST
