Ahimsa Movie Review & Rating

Ahimsa introducing Daggubati Abhiram as the lead actor under the direction of Teja has caught the attention of the audience with its promotional staff. Also starring Geethika Tiwary as the female lead and Sadha in a key role the film has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it fares.

Story: Raghu(Abhiram) and Ahalya( Geethika Tiwary) are childhood lovers. Raghu is the kind of person who believes in and follows non-violence. Ahalya tries to change him, but he never listens to her but they both share an in-depth bond. One day, an unfortunate and shocking incident happens in the lives of Raghu and Ahalya. What is that incident? What circumstances do they face because of it? Will Raghu change his mind and tilt towards the path of violence, which forms a crucial crux?

Performances: Looks-wise, Abhiram is okay. His physical transformation as a small-town guy adds realistic flavor to the proceedings. Acting-wise, Abhiram is decent enough but should work on his facial expressions in future movies.

Heroine Geethika Tiwary is a surprise package for the movie as she impresses big-time with her looks as a village girl. Performance-wise, Geethika did justice to her role as an aggressive-natured girl. The chemistry between Abhiram and Geethika is natural and apt to the narrative.

Sadha is okay in her lawyer role and did her decently. Rajat Bedi and Manoj Tiger are convincing in their roles as baddies.

Other supporting artists are okay in their respective roles as well.

Technicalities: The photography work by Sameer Reddy is okay but not as expected. He captured the natural locations nicely in the village backdrop but overall fails to register with his capturing skills.

The music composed by RP Patnaik fails to create magic on the screen. His background score also fails to elevate the key proceedings in the film. The editing work lacks sharpness in it.

The production values for this Anandi Arts Creations are okay. Dialogues are written by Teja work in parts. It is better to talk less about other departments’ work in the movie.

Analysis: Director Teja is back with the same old storyline which has a heavy dose of inspiration for his Nuvvu Nenu and Jayam. At least, he would have focused on writing a better scene order.

But sadly, the director fails to create an impact with the narrative part. Despite having experience actors like Sadha, Rajat Bedi, and Manoj Tiger, the director failed miserably to elevate the emotions in the plotline in an engaging manner.

To summarize, Ahimsa falls flat due to the old-school narrative and outdated presentation. Though the lead artists are decent in their respective roles, the screenplay and ages-old narration comes a demerit for the film.

Verdict: Old school presentation!

Rating: 1.5/5
