Story:

Rishi (Nikhil Siddharth), an ambitious racer, heads to London after a misunderstanding with his love interest, Tara (Rukmini Vasanth). In London, he meets Tulsi (Divyansha Kaushik), who adds a layer of complexity to his life and emotions. As Rishi tries to balance his feelings for both women, his world is turned upside down when he gets entangled with a dangerous local gangster, Badri Narayana (John Vijay), and his right-hand man, Munna (Ajay). At the heart of the turmoil is a mysterious device, which both Rishi and the gang are after.

As Rishi faces threats from all sides, the film explores his journey through love, danger, and a fight for survival. Who will he choose in the end? And what is the true importance of the device? These are the key questions driving the story forward.

Review:

Nikhil Siddharth shines effortlessly well in the role of a charming lover boy, so the established style suits him to the core. His rather sharp look has blended well with the light-hearted tone of the film, making it a rather apparent choice for him in this particular character.

Rukmini Vasanth, in her Telugu debut, brings elegance to her character and leaves a lasting impression, even though her role is relatively limited. She manages to make her presence felt despite the brief screen time.

Divyansha Kaushik, however, is the standout performer. Not only does she look stunning, but her character is also the most complex and compelling. With a strong and upfront role, Divyansha adds significant depth to the film, and the unexpected twists she brings keep the audience engaged.

Viva Harsha provides strong comedic support, perfectly complementing Nikhil with his energetic performance. Comedians Satya and Sudarshan also add humor to the narrative, making their track a delightful addition to the film. The romantic moments between Nikhil and Rukmini are heartwarming, while the confusion-comedy involving Viva Harsha and John Vijay is handled with great timing.

Ajay plays his negative role with conviction, adding the necessary tension to the plot and rounding out the ensemble cast.

The only major flaw that the film has is old story and unmotivated narration. The initial half seems pretty languid. So long a movie works for two hours, but without energy, it feels like a weight. There’s no sense of novelty about the whole thing, so even a talented actress like Rukmini Vasanth cannot salvage it.

Even the villainous version by John Vijay does not hit the spot. More laughable than menacing, it has mainly cringy rather than threatening menace. Whipping away the tension it had started to build up for, this weak villain portrayal ruins the flick. The Romance and the Twist in the first half are too shallow that render the film dull; though things do start picking up toward the last ten minutes, all of it is too little, too late.

Production is top-notch with some good looking sets and design. But writing doesn’t match up to production values. Dialogue is weak, and the characters lack development.

It is a forgetful film despite Sudheer Varma who had done so well earlier. His outdated approach towards narration makes this film a bit of a disaster as it fails to keep viewers on the edge of seats, but instead shows them walking out disappointed.

Overall, Appudo Ippudo Eppudo ends up as perplexing as its title suggests. Despite a strong cast, the outdated and tedious narration fails to captivate the audience. Nikhil Siddharth’s genuine performance stands out as the film’s saving grace, adding some depth to an otherwise lackluster experience.
