MOVIE REVIEW: Srikanth is a cinematic gem that deserves to be seen and celebrated. Srikanth embarks on a heartfelt journey that resonates deeply with its audience. The film not only entertains but also enlightens, shedding light on the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in a society rife with obstacles. Directed by Tushar Hiranandani, the narrative effortlessly navigates through the highs and lows of Srikanth’s life, leaving an indelible mark on viewers.

The first half sets the stage, immersing us in Srikanth’s world as he defies odds and pursues higher education in US. The portrayal of his struggles, especially against the backdrop of an unforgiving education system, strikes a chord. In the second half, the film delves deeper into the harsh realities of the job market for the physically disabled. The incorporation of a political twist adds layers to the narrative. While the film’s music may not reach the heights of its other aspects, the background score effectively enhances the emotional resonance of key moments.

Rajkummar Rao’s portrayal of the titular character deserves an award, showcasing his versatility and acting prowess. His nuanced performance captures the essence of Srikanth’s journey, earning him accolades and applause. Jyothika shines as Devika, Srikanth’s teacher & mentor. Alaya F and Jameel Khan was decent. Sharad Kelkar impresses as Ravi Mantha, the investor who believes in Srikanth’s vision.
