This is a really nice film but falls way short of being a brilliant one .
The film traces the journey of Shrikanth Bolla, who is a blind person but with superb grit and vigour in him . He is a person not interested in getting sympathy for his disability . He is a person who believes he can do everything.
Rajkumar Rao as Srikanth is terrific. He completely gets into the character of Srikanth and gives an authentic and natural performance. Some of his dialogues can make you laugh while some while make you emotional. The good thing about the film is that it doesn't get boring anytime thanks to an interesting narrative style and some amazing moments of Srikanth .
Jyothika , just coming out of a terrific performance in Shaitaan , shines even further in this film as Srikanth's guardian . Her character gets to portray a greater range than in Shaitaan . Sharad Kelkar too does a good job while the others have also done a fabulous job (atleast Aleya F gets a better role here than her previous horrendous outing BMCM).
However , there are problems. In an attempt to keep the film to just 2hr 15 mins, the makers have hastily skimmed through all chapters of Srikanth's life . They don't allow any sequence or scene to settle in your mind properly . Due to this, the film won't actually leave a lasting impact on you . I almost felt I was just watching the highlights of Srikanth's life .
The second half dips as well when Srikanth gets involved in politics . All those parts felt a bit half baked . Nevertheless, the film revives itself in the climax . In fact many things in this film is treated in a way too generic manner , almost showing Srikanth ending up winning in every place .
The song PAPA KEHTE HAI works so well in the film . Remaining songs are okayish and only present only to serve the romantic purpose of Srikanth .
Overall, this is a good film and you can easily watch it in theatres.

Srikanth is a biography drama film directed by tushar hiranandani.
The biggest victory of the film is rajkummar rao. He is outstanding in the film. The way he has carried the mannerisms of a blind man in the film is outstanding. No wonder the man is the recipient of so many awards. Jyotika too, gives a solid performance, despite her character is paper thin. Same is the case with sharad kelkar. The acting in the film is solid.
The message is loud and clear, its a good thing. But sometimes, the film goes overboard with its messaging. Every other scene is used as a ladder for srikanth to climb, and that too very easily. This leads to a lack of conflict in the film. The screenplay is otherwise engaging. The music is good. And the cinematography too. The film also suffers in the first half, due to its highlights reel approach. There is little to no breathing space between the scenes. The screenplay is rushed with no time to film srikanth's inner turmoil.

Srikanth' is not just a film; it's an experience that will leave you moved, motivated, and mesmerized. Rajkummar Rao's transformative performance is a beacon of brilliance, lighting up the screen with every scene. If you're looking for a story that will lift your spirits, challenge your perceptions, and stay with you long after the credits roll, this is it. Don't miss the chance to witness cinematic history in the making. Go watch 'Srikanth' - it's a journey worth taking. 🌟🎥 Must go guys and see the amazing acting of Rajkumar Rao. Nothing is impossible if you want to make it possible. Go now and watch with your family and friends.
As far as acting is concerned Rajkumar Rao never disappoints and Srikanth is no exception. A very nice movie with great actors including Rajkumar Rao, Sharad Kelkar, jyothika, Alaya F and a great direction. It seems the movie finished in a blink of eye. There was not a single moment which can be said to be boring.
The movie generates various emotions right from being ambitious, daring, creative, modest. Enacting a blind person is not easy but Rajkumar Rao nailed it. Jyothika's acting is very natural and flawless. Sharad kelkar as usual performs great. Overall it is a great movie and a must watch. It's great to see such brilliantly acted movies with a nice story and message nowadays.

First of all, I am glad we are making such inspiring and educational movies. Honestly, I had no idea about Srikanth Bolla before this movie. Now, I am so impressed with him who is still in his early 30's.
The problem with the movie is, the writers just got side-tracked. One of the very important characters, the teacher Devika, was totally ignored. She existed because Srikanth existed. What about her own life? A person who did so much for a blind person had no life? No family. No job. No feelings. Just nothing. It's like she was a pawn who was used whenever needed. Also, looks like she never got old with time.
About Srikanth. Rajkumar Rao did a great job, but it was a movie. It looks like he (or the director) was too focused on the acting side, which included too many close-ups and his facial movements.
The romantic side of the movie is also lacking. When you have a young girl in India who connects with a blind man in the US, and it lasts for 10 years, you really have to make the audience feel the love. Nope. Not in this movie.
Instead, the writers spent time on clever arguments. The airport scene was a very long scene. I was hoping they would have emphasized some other characters, like his own parents, who are treated as guest artists.
The ending was a bit too fast too. I guess they ran out of time with all those slow and unnecessary scenes.
But,. It was a good movie overall and worth watching, especially with the family.
