Watching This Might Give You a Shathabdham of Headache
AnirudhGod20 June 2021
A mind-numbingly headache inducing film that has no substantial value, nor a cohesive plot. As soon as the central conflict that's introduced way into an hour into the film, the story becomes literally incomprehensible. Random characters are thrown in for dramatic impact, without leaving any impact. It's a very shallow and nonsensical story. The characters, especially the side characters, don't react in a logical manner, and behave indifferently to the action around them. It's not even mildly distracting to pass the time, but plain headache inducing stuff that makes you want to switch the film off. A talented cast of actors are wasted on an inexistent screenplay, and given "enter and exit" roles. Baa, I can't even try to recollect the experience. It's that bad.

Terrible movie - poor script, even poor execution
valyriansteel-6834913 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
We have seen many such movies in the past. Good ones include Kaadal (Tamil) in 2004, Sairat (Marathi) in 2016, and recently Uppena (Telugu) with caste system. I am sure there are a ton others in the same genre. The primary difference here is that this one is an atrocious movie with poor script, bad screenplay, and casting is terrible except for Saikumar. Acting almost fails in all aspects. The Director's only point is caste bias calls for unnecessary blood bath and loss of innocent lives. Aren't audience tired of this already ? What additional enlightenment is he providing ? Another OTT junk.

Director gone crazy
sivd11 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
First 20 minutes director wasted in narrating a childhood love failure story, and the next 20 minutes shows another failure attempt in a way roja flower crap story, and then director lost his touch with the script and showed an unnecessary song to fool the audience with false love, and then whole village fighting with each other, another failed script. Please stay away from this movie guys, save some time and watch jabardast!

Ardha Shathabdham, On Aha, Is A Giant Facepalm In The Name Of Politics
shefali-5924414 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The synopsis for Ardha Shathabdham, on Aha, says, "After five decades of Independence, India's rural landscape still throws up unanswerable questions. Can a love story bring a revolution? Witness this earthy love story set in the early 2000s." Well, that sounds like a thick plot concerning love and mayhem, right? Maybe, your heart tells you that you're going to dive into a swirling romantic drama. Or maybe your mind takes the reins and declares that the scales are going to tip heavily in favor of violence.

neve judge a book by its cover
surya79276214 June 2021
When you have a great start and decent hype for the movie you have to do is make the story run not LAG, after the music and trailer my expectations are high and they ae fueled by the start of love story till the interval it was okay, then the downfall started too many characters, no prominent part in the story like sai kumar and navven chandra why they are not utilized properly, and the riots are like short film setup not feature film and sensitive parts are handles with dialogues and ending was so bad, finally wasted the time.

Stupid fellows what kind of message are you passing to society???
vasireddybharath13 June 2021
Worst movie. Do not waste time watching this movie.

Why do you want to create such movies and create division in people. Worst director. I will never see his movies in future. Stupid mentality. Directorr is still living in 1900. Come on wake up this is 21st century.

Nothing new same old Misinterpretation of a great system...
balledaaaditya11 June 2021
Acting is okay. Theres nothing much to the actual story. Caste system is totally wrongly delt with in this film. There is nothing wrong with organising people based on talents they have. Some people misused this well defined system but that doesnt make it a bad one . In reality People with better lifestyle are placed on top of system , which is actually better. One thing this movies gets it right is how misunderstanding in few situations can make things much worse but thats already showcased better in other movies. So there is nothing to watch in this film.

Half Meels Movie
rockvishnu-6830111 June 2021
Story routine but writings nice. Music Super but direction weak.actors performance just ok. Cinematography ok. It seems that those who have good good actors do not sing to suit the character. Do not raise your imagination by watching the trailer of the movie Just Avg.

Story line: In a village battered by the name of castes. A boy named Krishna falls in love with a girl named Pushpa as a child but is afraid to tell her that love. It remains to be seen in the movie whether the love of Krishna Pushpa will be successful or not.

Waste of time, storyline is an illusion and false, slowest narration, random scenes
nasmuklegal3 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Coming from a Telangana and from a village background, I can confidently say such I never saw such a communal discrimination and violence in the villages, irrespective of high or low caste everyone enjoys the amicable relations in villages of Telangana ( I am from Karimnagar & Siricilla part of it ) call each other with kaka, mama, babai, atha, alludu, thatha...this movie portrayed the village environment in a complete falsified way...

If anyone wants to make such false movies, must use false names of places.

I tarnished and impeded the image of Sircilla's image as they used its name.

Such movies create disturbances within the communities whether they are intentionally / unintentionally made.

Anyone who wants to watch a good/ average movie STAY AWAY from this.

Lastly, the dialogue dialect neither completely of Karimnagar nor of Andhra this shows how much alien the story writer to the real affairs of the place.

A Barely Watchable movie.
shamanths454 July 2021
Director wanted to show that caste system exists and people kill each other for that, he couldn't come up with proper story, and wastes our time. There are scenes which doesn't even fit. It does not keep you engaged. Glad I learnt that halfway and watched it on 2x. Only highlight are the songs and cinematography.
