Srikanth (2024) User Reviews

Could have been brilliant if ....

[Biswas_ · 8/10 · 11 May 2024]

This is a really nice film but falls way short of being a brilliant one .

The film traces the journey of Shrikanth Bolla, who is a blind person but with superb grit and vigour in him . He is a person not interested in getting sympathy for his disability . He is a person who believes he can do everything.

Rajkumar Rao as Srikanth is terrific. He completely gets into the character of Srikanth and gives an authentic and natural performance. Some of his dialogues can make you laugh while some while make you emotional. The good thing about the film is that it doesn't get boring anytime thanks to an interesting narrative style and some amazing moments of Srikanth .

Jyothika , just coming out of a terrific performance in Shaitaan , shines even further in this film as Srikanth's guardian . Her character gets to portray a greater range than in Shaitaan . Sharad Kelkar too does a good job while the others have also done a fabulous job (atleast Aleya F gets a better role here than her previous horrendous outing BMCM).

However , there are problems. In an attempt to keep the film to just 2hr 15 mins, the makers have hastily skimmed through all chapters of Srikanth's life . They don't allow any sequence or scene to settle in your mind properly . Due to this, the film won't actually leave a lasting impact on you . I almost felt I was just watching the highlights of Srikanth's life .

The second half dips as well when Srikanth gets involved in politics . All those parts felt a bit half baked . Nevertheless, the film revives itself in the climax . In fact many things in this film is treated in a way too generic manner , almost showing Srikanth ending up winning in every place .

The song PAPA KEHTE HAI works so well in the film . Remaining songs are okayish and only present only to serve the romantic purpose of Srikanth .

Overall, this is a good film and you can easily watch it in theatres.

An Inspiring & Heartwarming Journey with 'Srikanth

Passey Reviews 🎥🍿

'Srikanth' is like a beacon of inspiration on the big screen, thanks to director Tushar Hiranandani's masterful storytelling. He brings Srikanth Bolla's exceptional and mind-blowing journey to life with such authenticity that you can't help but be moved! 🌟

Right from the start, the film hooks you with its gripping screenplay, taking you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. But these tears? They're tears of triumph, not sadness. Hats off to the director and the cast for making the viewers feel every emotion so deeply! 👏

Rajkummar Rao steals the show with his incredible performance, showcasing his versatility once again. Playing a blind character isn't easy, but he nails it, reminding us of his brilliance in 'Trapped' and 'CityLights'. Jyotika is a powerhouse of talent, adding layers of depth to her character effortlessly. And not to forget Sharad Kelkar and Alaya F, they shine in their roles too! 🎭

'Srikanth' isn't just a movie, it's a reminder to dream big and never give up. If Srikanth can do it, so can we! So, grab your popcorn and get ready to be inspired. This one's a sure shot winner!🎬

SRIKANTH:-na andha hu na hi ganda hu

[puranjanbasak · 8/10 · 21 May 2024]

Srikanth is a biography drama film directed by tushar hiranandani.

The biggest victory of the film is rajkummar rao. He is outstanding in the film. The way he has carried the mannerisms of a blind man in the film is outstanding. No wonder the man is the recipient of so many awards. Jyotika too, gives a solid performance, despite her character is paper thin. Same is the case with sharad kelkar. The acting in the film is solid.

The message is loud and clear, its a good thing. But sometimes, the film goes overboard with its messaging. Every other scene is used as a ladder for srikanth to climb, and that too very easily. This leads to a lack of conflict in the film. The screenplay is otherwise engaging. The music is good. And the cinematography too. The film also suffers in the first half, due to its highlights reel approach. There is little to no breathing space between the scenes. The screenplay is rushed with no time to film srikanth's inner turmoil.

One of the most inspiring biographical movies in a non-pretentious way I've ever seen coming from India. Hear me out...

[glaneljhonathan · 10/10 · 13 May 2024]

A movie that doesn't put the main character of the biography on a pedestal, going against the norm. Not only does it highlight the greats of the character while heroising him, but also is not afraid to show the grey areas and flaws of the same in the most honest way possible with no sugar coating. There's no typical dramatic fall & rise and fall & rise, it just flows naturally & authentically in a believable manner.

Great casting and great acting by all of them involved, with no unnecessary glamour & diagetic song sequences & larger than life portrayals. Even during slight moments of cinematic exaggerations, it's believable rather than overly dramatic, because of the way it has been shot and edited & because of the direction of natural performances, even from the side characters with barely any screen-time.

I love how the film doesn't ignore or forget to acknowledge the other characters who played a part in supporting the growth of the main character, almost reminiscent of the Hollywood film Wonder (2015). I even love how it doesn't shy away from calling spade a spade, be it even the flaws in the system in the country that needs attention to be worked on. After 12th Fail, this is another solid film that gets things right & strives to be authentic with great ambition and production value as Hollywood. Good improvement for a Bollywood film for striving to strike that balance lately.

The end of this movie doesn't fill you with unnecessary temporary pity & want to compensate, but actually manages to bluntly change your vision towards differently abled, whether it made you emotional or not, and that's a great output for me. Making a person seem like a person who was able to achieve and bring about the necessary changes through the right means, & not some overly celebrated hero of fiction with insurmountable plot-armor. Despite the subject matter & encounters with some very important people with stature, it still manages to keep it simple, & this is what this movie is able to achieve effectively; while also not failing to celebrate the spirit & essence of that person. Much needed!

Awesome movie with an Inspiration 😎

Must watch film

[sharmarajat-72441 · 10/10 · 12 May 2024]

If missed then something is really missed from your life which can bring change. Not only the story is based on a true life event but it also broaden's a person's view point related to education, humanity, kindness, etc..

Bollywood should bring such movies for general public information and awareness.

Unfortunately in India people follow more of actors and actresses rather then the work they're doing, the information and awareness which the story writers trying to bring in peoples mind through the medium of these kind of movies.

I think this movie should be promoted more and more through word of mouth publicity to open the eyes of the storywriters.

Great movie!

Srikanth: A Journey of Triumph and Trials

[popcorncatalyst · 6/10 · 17 May 2024]

Srikanth" is a biographical drama that tells the inspiring story of Srikanth Bolla, a visually impaired industrialist. The film follows his journey from a small village to the heights of success, overcoming societal barriers and challenges. Rajkummar Rao delivers a standout performance, with the supporting cast adding depth to the narrative. However, the film's formulaic structure, lack of nuance in certain areas, and a rushed ending may not appeal to those seeking a more unconventional narrative. Overall, "Srikanth" is a film that will leave you inspired, with a story worth telling and performances worth applauding, but it falls short in some areas, earning it a 3 out of 5 stars.

Be good & Do good...!!!

[PANDIAN120621 · 9/10 · 20 May 2024]

Born in small village in Andhra Pradesh to understand poverty parents, who was about to get buried alive by his father because of being born blind, Srikanth is the story of a visually impaired child by birth who with his firm belief in himself and God gifted super intelligence breaks all barriers and hurdles to obtain a degree from MIT, Boston United States and comes back to India and at present runs a private company manufacturing recycled paper worth more than INR 100 crores turnover...

In his journey towards his success he his aided by his teacher Devika (portrayed by Jyotika) and business partner Ravi (portrayed Sharad Kelkar) who are there with him like his pillar of strength and play their role convincingly. In his college days Srikanth comes across, the late Indian President Dr Abdul Kalam Azad who thinks Srikanth has great potential and in front of whom Srikanth proudly says that he wants to be the first visually impaired President of India. Another notable incident in his life comes when he returns his award of 'Business Excellence' because he gets nominated in special category...

On the stage he firmly says that he would not accept the award on the basis of any special category. He would only accept the award if he is nominated with the rest of the nominees in the general category. It is Srikanth's confidence which help him build his business empire called Bollant Industries...

Kudos to the director of the movie, Tushar Hiranandani for making a movie on such a profound subject. The movie is captivating with the mind-blowing performances by the starcast, intense dialogues and screenplay, and the rendition of the very apt song 'Papa kehtay hain bada naam karega' (remixed from the original movie, Aamir Khan's QSQT) which plays in the background most of the times in the first and the second half of the movie...

Rajkumar Rao justifies the role in more than many ways and his dialogue delivery along with his nuances get you to smile through and through. He is just BRILLIANT!!

Sharad Kelkar and Jyothika are perfect in their supporting roles. The rest also value add in their own way in redefining the movie...

People like Srikanth are not only an inspiration to those with special needs but more to us. It's we who need to learn from them and look at them as one of our own. The movie is a wonderfully told tale of grit and determination and successfully goes on to establish one more important point- people with special needs do not need our sympathy. They need a fair chance, that's all that is there.

Overall Srikant 2024" is more than just a movie; it's a cinematic tour de force that leaves a lasting impression on all who experience it. With its compelling story, stellar performances, and technical brilliance, it rightfully earns its place among the greatest films of all time...

A Must watch movie in theatre

[fenil-73356 · 9/10 · 23 May 2024]

Rajkummar Rao's portrayal of Srikanth truly merits a national award, as his acting prowess is unparalleled. In Srikanth, Rajkummar showcases his versatility to perfection, leaving no aspect of the character unexplored. The poignant promo dialogue, "Mai andha hoon, but mai dekh sakta hoon sapne," is followed by a powerful compilation of his most compelling scenes, further highlighting his exceptional talent. A highlight reel of Rajkummar's diverse roles from various movies solidifies his standing as one of the finest actors in the industry today. This is a must-watch in theaters; it represents the true essence of Bollywood. A film of this caliber deserves immense appreciation.

Exhilarating and Enigmatic Masterpiece

[kushgupcfz · 10/10 · 23 May 2024]

The movie is a stunning narrative of visually impaired man's inspiring journey and achievements. Rajkumar Rao and the whole cast's acting is like a breath of fresh air... Superb plot and acting.

Carrying such a tough role has been made to look easy by the amazing pictorial representation. The movie is sure to strike an emotional chord and awaken you from slumber.

The best part is the tender moments and delicate picturization to show the struggles of Srikanth. Highly amazed by the level of acting and storyline.

Strongly recommended to those who want to have a perfect family evening and learn beautiful life lessons.

Rajkumar Rao' stunning performance and a great movie

[ashaa-44142 · 8/10 · 17 May 2024]

As far as acting is concerned Rajkumar Rao never disappoints and Srikanth is no exception. A very nice movie with great actors including Rajkumar Rao, Sharad Kelkar, jyothika, Alaya F and a great direction. It seems the movie finished in a blink of eye. There was not a single moment which can be said to be boring.

The movie generates various emotions right from being ambitious, daring, creative, modest. Enacting a blind person is not easy but Rajkumar Rao nailed it. Jyothika's acting is very natural and flawless. Sharad kelkar as usual performs great. Overall it is a great movie and a must watch. It's great to see such brilliantly acted movies with a nice story and message nowadays.
