Hansika Motwani returned to the big screen today with her role in the Telugu film My Name Is Shruthi, her first role in three years. To find out how the film is, read our review.
Story:
At her Hyderabad-based advertising agency, Shruthi (Hansika Motwani) is involved in an unexpected incident at her apartment. After taking her into custody, the police question her and solve many mysteries. What happened in Shruti’s apartment, how MLA Gurumurthy (Aadukalam Naren) is connected to it, and how Hansika settles the dispute are all addressed in the film.
Extra Credits:
Bright actress Hansika Motwani tackles a new subject and does a fantastic job, particularly in the second part.
The plot delves into the fascinating idea of the skin mafia, a subject that is rarely discussed in Tollywood. Director Srinivas Omkhar tries hard to tell this story, but he handles it with such skill.
The second half keeps the audience on the edge of their seats with a compelling plot and some clever twists.
Apart from Hansika, Murali Sharma and Praveen portray commendable characters, and the other actors do a respectable job in their parts.
Negative Points
The director could have explored the skin mafia concept more thoroughly, even though the chosen plot is fine. Adding details about actual occurrences would have given the story more depth. Although Hansika’s performance keeps things interesting, a few scenes could use some work.
While there are enough twists and a well-narrated second half, the director falls short by not keeping the first half’s fast-paced and sensual screenplay. A slow start is caused by unnecessary scenes.
In her Telugu comeback, veteran actress Prema portrays a different role. Nevertheless, the script squanders a chance to portray her unfavorably and to offer her more screen time to highlight her performance.
Technical Features:
Although the film is expertly directed by Srinivas Omkhar, the overall impact could have been enhanced by giving the first half of the movie more of the same attention as the second. Editing could be tightened, especially in the second part. Both the production values and the cinematography are respectable. An air of suspense is created by Mark K Robin’s music.
Decision:
Overall, there are exciting moments in My Name Is Shruthi, which is a thriller. The standout elements are Hansika Motwani’s respectable performance and the captivating plot with plenty of twists in the second part.
