![]() ![]() ![]() He’s believable in the action scenes, especially ones that require him to be shirtless. Sudheer Babu wavers as the super-cop he plays. Nani even gets some whistle-worthy moments and entries, despite being the antagonist of this tale. ![]() He is the only beacon of hope in a film that falls flat at times. ![]() He even elicits chuckles in some scenes, bringing forth a performance that’s believable of him as a man broken beyond repair. While scenes of him toying with fellow passengers for cheap thrills as he travels from Hyderabad to various places do get repetitive (we get the point you’re making, no need to show it twice) Nani revels in his grey character. With tanned skin shining, green eyes flashing, his character gets its own sweet time in the limelight. Also, for a character who talks about how girls are not just about pink frilly things and what not, Apoorva sure isn’t given the chance to step up or do much.īut not all is lost, because Nani is here to save the day. The songs by Amit Trivedi pop up at inopportune moments to try and set the mood (romantic for the most part) in a film that you just end up wishing was tighter. Even as Adithya wrinkles his forehead in every other scene to figure out what’s happening as he discusses the case with Apoorva, who’s his newly appointed consultant, and no matter how hard the makers try to deflect suspicion on certain characters, you just know how this is going to end. What ensues is a chase that ends on a predictable note.Īnyone who has grown up on Indian crime thrillers can smell the ‘twists’ in V coming from a mile away. A series of gruesome murders by an unknown, mysterious man (Nani), complete with notes addressing Adithya throw a wrench and challenge him to step up his game. His life is truly perfect, especially so when the girl he desires, a wannabe crime novelist called Apoorva Ramanujan (Nivetha Thomas) seems to like him as much as he likes her and so does her family. He’s Hyderabad Times’ Most Desirable man for the year 2019, beats up criminals and runs marathons by day, walks ramps and parties by night. But is the film really worth the hype that came with it? Well…ĭCP Adithya (Sudheer Babu) is a super-cop, busting crime all over Hyderabad. The novelty of Mohan Krishna Indraganti making a crime thriller was not lost on anyone. Even if the pandemic ensured the viewing experience was changed, many were game to grab a tub of popcorn and catch this cat-and-mouse chase the second it released. Review: A first-day-first-show after six long months, that’s what went through many movie buffs’ minds when it was announced that V will hit OTT. Who is the killer leaving bodies and his signature ‘V’ behind and what does he have to do with Adithya forms the tale.
