The film definitely stands out as one of the decent and gripping thrillers made this year. Mathu Vadalara is definitely a worthy watch, it won't waste your time or energy.

Kaala Bhairava's BGM is appealing and the cinematography is up to the standards. Satya and Naresh are the main assets of the film, with the latter giving a steady performance, showcasing multiple shades. He does have a long way to go, but he makes an impressive debut, showing potential.

He looks natural in his rugged look and nails scenes which require him to show emotions like fear or anger. Sri Simha, MM Keeravani's son, delivers a decent performance. The many slow-motion shots are a test to your patience, but the humour employed in serious situations make the thriller and comedy feel as delicious as a cheesecake. The pre-climax sees the film slowing down, but Ritesh makes it up with a stunning climax. The second-half of the film takes some serious turns. He proved how hilarious he can be with a well-crafted character in this film.

Yesu is well-written and Satya outperformed it with ease. By the end of the first-half, one refreshingly is left curious about the second-half of the film.Īpart from the gripping plot, the hilarious gags in the film are spot-on. There's a heinous crime committed elsewhere, and the way Ritesh connects these dots shows how well he worked on the script. But their plan to make more money lands Babu in trouble, bringing in Abhi (Naresh Agastya) to lend a helping hand. The director deserves appreciation for picking such a story for his debut and dealing with it like a pro.īabu (Sri Simha) and Yesu (Satya) struggle to even pay their house rent with the money they make. Right from the first shot, the film sticks to the story without meandering. But director Ritesh Rana's Mathu Vadalara is a film that will leave you satisfied. Review: A thriller in Telugu cinema is often left uncooked and leaves you with many unanswered questions, or worse, those answered in an illogical manner. Yesu gives Babu a plan to earn some extra money, but that lands him in big trouble. All the numbers are in Rs and crore.Story: Babu (Sri Simha) and Yesu (Satya) are delivery agents whose company pays peanuts. These numbers are based on various reports and may not match actual figures. Here are the business details of the Sankranti releases in the previous five years. However, they are small in terms of the prices of their theatrical rights, and their success cannot be compared with the huge losses suffered by Tollywood. Both films got good openings and made decent collections the box office in the first weekend. There were a couple of other releases, like Rangula Raatnam starring Raj Tarun and Gang starring Suriya.
