Annapurna Studios presents “Vyooham,” a Telugu web series now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Discover our unique take on this production.
Plot Summary:
Arjun Ramachandra (Sai Sushanth Reddy), the newly appointed ACP, takes on a hit-and-run case involving Michael (Chaitanya Krishna), who grapples with the tragedy of losing his unborn child. As Arjun delves into the investigation, he unravels a web of interconnected cases, including the mysterious death of his own mother. The series unfolds the mysteries surrounding these cases.
Pros:
Sai Sushanth Reddy’s portrayal as the Assistant Commissioner of Police holds the series together.
Chaitanya Krishna delivers a commendable performance, and Ravindra Vijay leaves a lasting impact with his nuanced portrayal of a policeman.
Director skillfully navigates through episodes, building excitement for a suspenseful thriller.
The score enhances the narrative, and well-executed twists maintain interest, showcasing effective teamwork.
Cons:
Despite the promising synopsis, the interconnection of various cases to a road accident introduces confusion.
The series may feel unnecessarily prolonged, raising questions about intentional story dragging.
Introduction of numerous characters, some lacking meaningful contributions, is a drawback, with certain roles, like Monika Thagalapalli’s IAS officer, lacking depth.
Technical Aspects:
Director Sashikanth Srivaishnav Peesapati, also the story writer, could have streamlined the narration amidst numerous stories and characters for a more refined suspense thriller.
Sriram Maddury’s background score adds depth, while Sidhardha Reddy’s cinematography contrasts with Sai Murali’s editing, which could be improved for a more impactful series.
Final Verdict:
Despite satisfactory performances, “Vyooham” falls short as a thriller due to its complex narrative, unnecessary length, and underdeveloped characters. Alternative entertainment options may be worth exploring.
