The Review

Director Tushar Hiranandani’s ‘Srikanth’ delivers an emotionally charged narrative, buoyed by stellar performances from Rajkumar Rao and Jyothika. The film’s soundtrack, notably ‘Papa Kehte Hain,’ enhances key moments, evoking genuine emotion and often bringing tears to the audience’s eyes.

While the film effectively conveys its inspirational story, the second half tends to lose its footing, and the two-hour runtime may feel a tad stretched, particularly leading up to the interval. Though Rao and Jyothika shine, some performances come across as average, detracting slightly from the overall impact.

Despite its flaws, ‘Srikanth’ succeeds in delivering a compelling tale of resilience and determination, reminiscent of the impact felt with films like ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.’ Overall, it’s a film that leaves a lasting impression, resonating with audiences long after the credits roll.

With a solid 4/5 star rating from DC Communications, ‘Srikanth’ shines with commendable performances and an engaging storyline, promising an exceptional cinematic experience for audiences.
