Siddharth Roy’s new movies have amazed people. Arjun Reddy expected them to be like animal films, but they turned out even better than those. Yashasvi shared that he shared the story with around a hundred people, and they all loved it, but no one stepped up to make it. To find out what’s in the movie, you’ll have to watch it.

And then there’s Deepak Saroj, who started as a child actor in many hit films and is now the hero. Want to know how that happened? Watch the movie. Same goes for the heroine Tanvi Negi. To get the full scoop, you’ve got to check out the film.

Story :

Meet Siddharth, played by Deepak Saroj, a twelve-year-old boy who has devoured all the philosophy books in the world. But here’s the twist – he seems to have no emotions, only needs! If he desires something, he approaches a nearby girl, convinces her, and voila, his wish is fulfilled. He’s the kind of guy who walks out of class if he already knows the lesson and even sleeps on the road.

Despite his logic-driven approach to life, Siddharth finds himself falling in love with Indu, portrayed by Tanvi Negi. How did this happen, you ask? To uncover this mystery, you’ll have to watch the movie. Discover what Siddharth learns during his journey of love and why, despite being in love, Indu decides to end the relationship. And what unfolds when Siddharth, determined and persistent, visits her house daily, even sparking quarrels in his pursuit of a particular desire? The answers lie in the movie – it’s a must-watch.

Analysis:

Ever heard of Siddhartha, who gave up all his riches and became Gautama Buddha? Now, let’s talk about ‘Siddharth Roy,’ a story about a young man who, despite having access to wealth, chose to live without it and discovered the value of bonds. Yashaswi has a good story to tell, a new and unique idea. However, there were some hesitations in bringing it to the screen.

Negative Aspects:

Sometimes, they tried too hard to make the movie similar to ‘Arjun Reddy,’ ‘Animal,’ and ‘World Famous Lover.’ The influence of movies by Vijay Devarakonda and Sandeep Reddy Vanga is noticeable in the characterization and scenes of the hero, Siddharth. In the pre-climax, the hero says, ‘every time he tries to control his emotions he fails.’ The scenes with extreme emotions are bold and well-shot, but the problem lies in making the story understandable to all viewers and balancing it. The movie’s length seems longer than necessary, and some scenes feel repetitive.

Technical Elements :

The number of books the hero reads in the movie or the director reads before crafting the story may not be important. What matters is if the language used is understandable to everyone. In the pre-climax, when Mathew Varghese talks about quotes from various books, the audience may not have enough time to grasp it. Songs and background music may not be a big deal, but better cinematography is needed. The production values should match the requirements of the story.

Conclusion :

In the conclusion, Siddharth Roy’s journey explores the delicate balance between wealth and human connections. Despite falling short of some expectations, the film resonates with bold scenes and emotional intensity. It leaves audiences pondering the value of bonds in a world often overshadowed by material pursuits, adding depth to Siddharth’s story.
