    Good thriller in single location

    Entire story happens inside a house. It's difficult to engage audience for 2 hours inside a house. Team did a good job on that.

    All actors seems to be new, except rajeev kanakala. It doesn't feel like they are inexperienced.

    Music is a big plus to the movie. It feels fresh. I haven't heard this type of bgm in telugu movies.

    Director claimed this is a true story. Usually im not a fan of true story movies. Even if this is not a true story, I would have liked same.

    The look of the film feels a bit new. Party lights and golden. Cinematography is nice.

    Scenes in film feels real. Dubbing done very nicely, gave organic feel.

    "Gripping true story"

    "The Birthday Boy" is a thrilling movie. It's about a party that goes very wrong. The director did a great job with the story and surprises. What's even more shocking is that it's based on a true incident - it's hard to believe something like this actually happened!

    Rajeev Kanakala excels as usual in his role, delivering a standout performance. The rest of the crew did a great job considering this is their first movie - a remarkable achievement!

    Two NRI's made this movie with limited resources, which is very impressive Congrats team! Awaiting many more movies from you - keep up the great work!

    Fresh story with twists and turns

    During the birthday party, all their friends give birthday bumps and the birthday boy dies. Then later it is revealed there are twists.

    For first 20 minutes it was decent. Around 20 min mark birthday boy dies. From here movie gets really interesting until the end. I was hooked until the end. It's 2hr length movie. For every 10 to 20 minutes there is a twist in the story.

    Its a true story. After watching movie, just imagining how the real people in that situation might have felt and dealt with gave me chills.

    All departments did good. Looks like all of them are new. Coming this quality from people new people is great.
