ARUNDHATI

ARUNDHATI a magnum opus from the producer of Anji, Ammoru and so on thrillers and remarkable movies. Shyam Prasad Reddy is known for his passion towards cinema and un-compromising production values have come out with yet again another horrific thriller.

'Arundhati' is the best illustrative example to the age old saying 'picchi vADi chaetilO raayi'. In this age of sourcing, re-sourcing and recurrent themes, where makers openly acknowledge that it no longer about the content, but all about presentation, 'Arundhati' stands tall and proud for its original content in the horror realm.

CAST

This is Anushka’s first performance oriented film and she is simply amazing in two roles. She has to show the variations between the old Arundhati and new Arundhati. She did exceptionally well.

Sonu Sood looks deadly in the role of Aghora. His performance is excellent.

A special mention should be given to P Ravi Shankar who dubbed the voice of Sonu Sood. It is a great opportunity for any dubbing artists to get a role like this. The way he pronounces ‘ninnu vadalaa … vasta .. vasta’ is extremely good.

Sayaji Shinde got a beautiful role ‘Talla Sayibu’ in this film. He is completely believable in that role.

Story – screenplay

Story of the film is good. Screenplay is very good. The beauty of this screenplay is about revealing the story and information in parts. There is always something to look forward to with anticipation in the film. It possesses one of the best screenplays in the recent times.

However, there are a couple of violent scenes that are disturbing to the family crowds.

Final Word

After a long time, I watched a Telugu film that has both content and technology rightly mixed to give a vibrant output. Arundhati is a film which you can proudly show it as a Telugu film to all your non-Telugu friends. And it will live up to the adjective of ‘Magnum Opus’. Two thumbs up to Shyam Prasad Reddy for making a brilliant film. Don’t watch it on internet or pirated DVDs. Arundhati is a film that must be watched in a good theater with nice sound/projection system.
