Three Telugu Films Hit Theatres Today. Here’s How They Fared
- Kaantha: Strong Performances, Sluggish Pace
- Santana Praptirasthu: Light, Fun, and Built on a Fresh Idea
- Jigris: A Slow Start That Finds Its Heart
This Friday brought a mix of variety and fresh storytelling to Tollywood, with Kaantha, Santana Praptirasthu, and Jigris hitting the big screens. Each film arrives with its own flavour, cast strength, and narrative style. Here’s a quick look at how they turned out:
Kaantha: Strong Performances, Sluggish Pace
Featuring Dulquer Salmaan, Bhagya Sri Borse, and Rana Daggubati, Kaantha carries strong expectations due to its powerful cast. Performances stand out as the biggest strength of the film, with the leading trio delivering compelling work.
However, the slow-paced narration seems to be testing the patience of some viewers, slightly diluting the impact of an otherwise engaging setup.
Santana Praptirasthu: Light, Fun, and Built on a Fresh Idea
Starring Priyadarshi and Chandini Chowdary, this film explores the rarely addressed topic of fertility through a humorous, slice-of-life lens.
The concept is refreshing, and the film manages to generate good laughs intermittently, offering a simple and pleasant watch for those who enjoy feel-good comedies.
Jigris: A Slow Start That Finds Its Heart
From a debutant director, Jigris follows the story of four friends who head to Goa without money or phones, and chaos naturally follows.
While the film begins on a slower note, it picks up momentum later, delivering a lively second half. The climax strikes an emotional chord and is being appreciated for its heartfelt execution.
With three different genres arriving on the same day, Telugu audiences have plenty to choose from this weekend. It’ll be interesting to see which of these films emerges as the audience favourite in the coming days.
