Allari Naresh’s 12A Railway Colony, written by Anil Viswanath and directed by Nani Kasaragadda, aims to be a thriller. After recent flops, it remains to be seen if Naresh scores a hit.
12A Railway Colony Story: Karthik (Allari Naresh), who works for local politician Tillu and flirts around his colony, likes his neighbor Aradhana (Kamakshi Bhaskarla). Before confessing his love, a shocking incident changes his life completely. Can he handle it? The answers unfold in the thriller 12A Railway Colony.
Performances: Allari Naresh, Viva Harsha, and Getup Srinu always deliver their best, but in this film, forcing a strong Telangana accent felt unnatural and distracted the audience. Modern viewers prefer accents that suit the character and region. Supporting actors Jeevan, Sai Kumar, and Aneesh Kuruvilla performed well, while Abhirami was a pleasant surprise, impressing with her strong and natural performance.
Technical Aspects: Bheems music is decent, with a background score that boosts emotion, though the songs aren’t very memorable and sound design could be better. Cinematography, especially night shots, is good, but a darker tone would have added mood.
Director-editor Nani handled the film good, but weak storytelling prevents his work from standing out. Anil Viswanath’s core idea is interesting, yet the first half feels forced for an interval bang, second-half investigative episodes are repetitive, and some jokes fall flat.
Analysis: Adding twists around a core story can be fun, but if overused, audiences lose interest. In 12A Railway Colony, neither the writer nor director could engage viewers with the story or twists, making the film underwhelming.
Verdict: 12A Railway Colony struggles to engage fully; decent performances and technical work are let down by weak storytelling and overused twists, making it an average thriller.
Bottom Line: Thriller potential wasted by poor execution.
Rating: 1.5/5
