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The film exhibits a blend of outdated and silly elements alongside some newer, yet equally nonsensical additions to its storyline.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

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?

"Skanda," directed by Boyapati Srinu, who previously helmed the successful "Akhanda" with Balayya Babu, falls short of expectations. The film follows a routine Telugu storyline, offering nothing fresh or innovative.
One of the film's glaring flaws is its songs and their placements, which are poorly executed, significantly contributing to its downfall. The music by Thaman, known for his high DJ sounds, disappoints once again.
Ram Pothineni does his best in the hero role, especially in portraying a rugged character, but the lack of a compelling storyline and supporting elements hinders his performance.
Sree Leela's presence in the film seems unnecessary, as there's no clear reason for her character's inclusion.
The first half of the movie is relatively better than the second half, which struggles to maintain the audience's interest.
The film hints at a sequel, but given the quality of this installment, it's safe to say that we don't need a "Skanda 2."
The action sequences lack the over-the-top physics typical of Boyapati's older films, which may disappoint fans of his style.
If you're still interested in watching "Skanda," it might be a better choice to do so through an OTT platform, as it fails to live up to the standards set by Boyapati's previous work in "Akhanda."

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 ...
