Aswathama (2020)
10/10
Aswathama is a spellbinding action thriller that will hold your breath...
17 April 2020
I was waiting to see this film since long, one of the major reasons being its raw action episodes. After watching a one-shot fight sequence on YouTube, I was compelled to check it out. Finally, following a number of delays, the film was today made available for streaming with subtitles and I instantly checked it out. Whoa, that was one good action thriller! The concept is fresh and unique, and the film has so much tension and action that it made me hold my breath a number of times.

Naga Shaurya has transformed into an action hero with this film, and has done a splendid job. Watch out for his action scenes where he impresses like a pro. Mehreen thankfully has a better role this time, and not just singing and dancing with the hero. Jisshu Sengupta is stunning as the antagonist. The film has a racy plot and hence it clearly should've avoided a couple of songs but given how it regains and retains the momentum later is commendable.

And yes, the best thing about this film is the action. The fight scenes and parkour stunts are both brilliantly choreographed as well as shot. Dialogues are pretty impressive, and there are also a number of feel good moments as well. But again, the writing is the clear winner here, and the best part of the film is the pre-interval action sequence that delivers a ton of heart-pounding intensity.

Overall, Aswathama is an impressive action thriller. If you don't speak Telugu but also don't mind reading subtitles, check this movie out on Jio CInema or Sun NXT. It will blow your mind!
