Fidaa (2017)
7/10
Fidaa. It is all about Sai Pallavi
18 September 2017
This movie is about the talented Sai Pallavi, she carries the whole movie on her shoulder with able support from the other cast. The first half of the movie was excellent, full-on entertainment 10/10. The slang used by Pallavi was perfect, she totally looked the part of a village girl from Telangana. The atmosphere, locals were all picture perfect, beautiful place wherever the movie was shot. I would like to rate 10/10 for the few songs that were there in the movie, they actually carried the story forward and were a part of the story, rather than a mere compulsory distraction as with other movies. Sai Pallavi is an excellent dancer, she will keep your attention on the screen throughout the dance sequence. Everything to praise about the first half, but that cannot be said about the second half. The second half of the movie was like the typical Indian movies where the actress is there just for show and majority of the footage is given to the actor. This movie suffers heavily during the second half, it lacks story, the director seems confused as to how to bring the movie to climax. An average moviegoer could have seen the climax coming hours before the movie ended. Varun Tej does know how to act, he does a good job at it, but his dance skills are yet to be seen. I would rate the second half as 4/10.

Overall 7/10. Hats off Sai Pallavi, Varun Tej and rest of the cast for giving us a blockbuster First Half and a rather typical second.
