Netizens review Rajkummar Rao’s latest movie Srikanth
The much-anticipated biopic Srikanth hit the silver screens last Friday. Soon after its release, the film ignited a flurry of reactions from viewers who flocked to the theatres to witness the portrayal of the visually challenged industrialist Srikant Bolla’s life. Now, the verdict is as diverse as the characters’ journeys depicted on screen.
One enthusiastic viewer expressed, “SRIKANTH might be simple, but it’s heartwarming from start to finish. Loved how the film treats this man’s life like a celebration of resilience, not like a sob story.”
Meanwhile, another wrote, “I just finished to watching #Srikanth Movie, best Biography ever which made in Indian history. Although this is the best movie of 2024, so sad to see the 20-30% occupancy.”
Criticism wasn’t absent, with some viewers highlighting certain narrative flaws. One viewer remarked, ”The film has some artificial and illogical moments which act as roadblocks. The opportunity here was huge, and it could’ve been a 4.5/5 film if those parts were fine-tuned or eradicated.”
Despite varying opinions, the endorsement from notable actors added weight to the film’s significance. Renowned actor Suriya Sivakumar lauded Srikanth as a “beautiful rollercoaster ride.” Srikanth Bolla, the real-life inspiration behind the film, expressed gratitude for the overwhelming response, stating, “All of these reviews are coming very close to my heart.”
At its core, Srikanth captures the extraordinary journey of a remarkable individual who transcends physical limitations to achieve monumental success. The film is currently playing in nearby theatres.
