Vinay Balaji Karna·2y

# Vidulada-Part1 - Though the engaging narration hooks, the core of the film is left for Part 2. Being a Vetrimaarans film, it has a very raw appeal, heart-touching emotions, highlights inequalities in the system, very good detailing of characters and premise, and realistic action blocks. However, I felt this film is majorly about introducing the characters & premise but holds the real conflict for part 2. The conflict of part 1 majorly runs in protaganist character trying to figure out the path he wanna choose, that too without knowing the consequences. Impressive Elements: Soori's brilliant performance, innocence & vulnerability in his eyes are highly impressive. Emotionally gripping narration & very well designed characters. Cinematography, especially the entire train episode which was short brilliantly in a single take. Promo at the end for part 2 is exceptional What I felt could have been better: Little more brief of why Praja Dalam opposing the mining project (I think it will be revealed in part 2) Though the songs are meaningful, it's comes as speed breakers for this intense film, at least in Telugu. Final Word: This films is good for its raw & hard hitting emotions and well-established premise for Part 2.
