A North Indian filmmaker makes his first Telugu film which upsets religious sentiments and invites the
ire of a religious fringe group which disrupts and vandalises the film’s shooting. This is what we’re told
about the film’s plot.
It begins with a graphic scene of self-harm by the lead actor. There are also other narrative threads in the film, like a rebellious love story, but it seems to
catch the viewer off guard. It could have been more fitting perhaps for the film to engage deeply
with its small narrative frames to develop them fully and share with the viewer the causes behind all its effects.
